You may be hesitant to decline it and you may even agree to it because you think that somehow it will provide you with extra coverage just in case. Be clear, rental vehicle insurance does not provide you with additional benefits above and beyond what your car insurance and credit card will pay.
To be on the safe side you should always contact your car insurance company. Let them know that you are considering renting a car and for what period of time and where in the world. Then let them tell you if you have coverage and what exactly will be covered.

Anything more than one or two bags will probably wind up taking up space on the back seat and the luggage compartment and traveling with more than two people and their luggage can be difficult.
Midsized cars typically offer a little more room. The trunk space is still limited, but the trunk can usually hold two or three bags and there is a little more space for passengers. A family of 4 could travel comfortably in this type of vehicle, but it is not recommended to squeeze in five, unless you’re just doing it for a short trip.

Moving into a new home can be a very stressful time, especially since you have so many factors to consider when looking through apartment rentals. In your search for the best home, there are a few key things that you should concentrate on. Try to have a realistic grasp on your budget limitations. Think about what city and neighborhoods you would consider moving into. Look at and compare the features of each unit you are considering. Be sure to take the personality of the landlord into account as well. You have many options for how to search for apartments, but try to be as efficient as possible.
Depending on your personal income, and the incomes of any people you may be living with, you will be confined to a certain budget range. Before even looking at any places, think about what you can realistically afford on rent each month. Also think about the move in cost, which usually includes a security deposit plus at least one month of rent.
