National car hire booked through V Australia

[Melka]

Has anyone had experience booking National Car Hire through the V Australia / Virgin Blue website? Their rates are very low eg 21 March - 20 April for USD$508 including LSI & LDW for a premium car - pick up and drop off in Los Angeles.

It looks as though it doesn't include Supp Liability Insurance which is another one of those "must have" items in the US. That adds $12.95 a day.

I've used www.cheap-car-rental.com for cars in the US before and was very happy. Rates were good and all inclusive (just tried to talk me into the roadside assistance when I picked the car up). Only downside is it's prepaid only.

Thanks Daniel - SLI is included in that quote, as is sales tax.

That does sound like a good deal then. I had a quick look at (I'll need a car in LA for about a week in April) and it listed the SLI as an additional. If you can get it for that price then I'd be taking it!
