Hi Per,

If you specify your country when your booking your vehicle - they
usually then add in the CDW to your quote

I know that Alamo & Budget do this - and this usually works out cheaper
than selecting a USA rate and then adding CDW (Collision Damage Waver)

Why dont you try it out on the Budget Web site www.budget.com - you
can get to the final costs without having to book the suv on the site

Companys i've used in the past without problems have been avis, alamo
and budget, its worth shopping around as theri pricing can vary greatly

It may not be as enironmentally friendly to rent a vehicle - but you
will get to the sweet singletrack so much quicker than on your other
holidays, and cover a lot more ground.

Plus there is much less chance of you becoming roadkill

I'm heading off to Colorado at the end of this Month and i'm going to
drive from Denver to Frutia, then Moab then Goosebury then flagstaff ,
sedona , Prescott and finally Phoenix all in 2 weeks I couldnt imagine
riding inbetween all of those place

any way happy trails

G

The only place I could imagine the singletrack being sweet is Sugar
Mountain and it's ficticious. Dirt tastes like dirt everywhere I've
crashed and ate it.

Yeah, there's nothing at all in-between any of those places.
