replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4: This would be both. I rented from Sixt in Denver and thought I checked the car over. Sunshine hit the chrome around the window next day and it looked like hail damage, but no hail. It put a damper on my whole trip. Sixt came through and didn't charge me. A+ #TravelSkills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet A4 scoring a Mustang convertible as a rental car is amazing. I have been lucky more than once. #travel #TravelSkills

replying to @CourseCharted @CourseCharted Ouch! When renting a car in Mexico, I think of Brad Pitt requesting a more Mexican type car. #TravelSkills #moviemoments

@LandLopers A5 In the province I am from, we have a public insurance program for vehicles.
It is quite reasonable. But I can also get insurance for $4 a day on my rental if I set it up before hand.
super easy to use and when not renting a car for work, it has been excellent #travelskills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A6 I don’t get carsick or airsick, thankfully. I was the only kid NOT barfing in the back seat or on the plane back in the day #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4. Worst --> When @Hertz in Cancun added an extra two zeros to the total amount due making it $20,000 to rent a car for a week! #travelskills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A6. Thank goodness no! But I try to keep my head up and stare at the horizon if I at all feeling like I might be. #travelskills

A5. Rental car insurance? I usually get the LDW and let my #Amex card and #AAA cover the rest. #TravelSkills
AllianzTravelUS
A6. Yes, I do. For curvy drives I keep something to drink and for long ones, I ask for extra breaks to stretch my legs. #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS TIP If you’re prone to car sickness, it’s a good idea to drive. Holding onto the wheel and being distracted by the road help. #TravelSkills

A4. Worst rental experience: I don’t think I have one. Well, I’m not a fan of red cars and it seems like I always end up with one whenever I rent a car. That or I get a car that smells. Hey car rental agencies, don’t try to cover up mold with fragrance! #Travelskills

A6 I don’t get carsick but if you do I have a great piece of advice...puke out the window downwind...trust me! @AllianzTravelUS #TravelSkills
JohnnyJet
replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS TIP To avoid getting carsick, don’t look at your phone or read, especially when stopping frequently or making a lot of turns. Also, sit in the front seat and look at the horizon. #TravelSkills

A6. If I'm driving, I'm usually fine. If I'm a passenger though....bring on the dramamine! (especially if I'm riding in a bus or van!) Dramamine 30 minutes ahead of time does the trick 🚧 #travelskills

replying to @Heather_Poole @Heather_Poole I've heard that stats show red cars are more likely than other colors to get pulled over for speeding #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A6 Fortunately, no. But my daughter has motion sickness issues. Best to sit up front, open window if possible, and take breaks to get fresh air. Also, no reading or cell phone fun while moving. #travel #travelskills

@Heather_Poole The west coast of Canada is like that too. They have a gas levee that pays for the mass transit system.
1.60 a liter is not unheard of. (3.8 liters per gallon) #travelskills.
it is a shock, but their sky train system is super impressive.

A6 Some tips: sit in front seat and keep your eyes looking forward; I always travel with ginger gum and just heard that if you put an earplug in just one ear, it helps motion sickness - not sure if it's true, but willing to try it. #travelskills https://t.co/W957Vr4ppE

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis I don't typically get car sick on road trips but I do get a headache if I try to read or if I'm looking at my phone too much (as a passenger, obvs) #TravelSkills
