Alamo Starts Auto Coverage At 3 Levels
Alamo Rent A Car is now offering its customers three levels of collision-damage coverage. The new line, called Waiver Savers, allows customers to purchase only as much coverage as they need, instead of being forced to choose between buying full coverage or none at all.
For those not covered by their own auto insurance policy, Alamo is still offering its full collision-damage protection, but for $9 no matter the size of the car, which is as much as $4 less than its previous price for such coverage. The Waiver Saver 3000 option, $6 a day, protects the renter from all damage liability up to $3,000. It allows business travelers to cover the personal liability stipulated in many corporate rental contracts without purchasing the more expensive full coverage on the full value of the car. The third choice, Mini Waiver Saver 500, $3 a day, covers the renter’s deductible without duplicating coverage provided by the renter’s own auto insurance policy.
After testing the new program for eight months in Florida and Hawaii, Alamo began offering the plan throughout the country on Dec. 1, except in Illinois, New York, Indiana and Texas, because of those states’ regulations of damage waivers. Nature Preserve For Puerto Rico
Visitors to Puerto Rico can add a new stop to their itineraries in mid-February, when the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico opens the Cabezas de San Juan Nature Preserve. The 316-acre site, which is surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean on Puerto Rico’s northeastern tip, is being preserved by the conservation group because of its unusually diverse tropical ecosystem.
Forest land, mangroves, lagoons, beaches, cliffs, offshore keys and coral reefs are all represented. Another attraction in the preserve, a 110-year-old lighthouse built by the Spanish and now operated by the United States Coast Guard, offers sweeping views of El Yunque rain forest to the west, and across the Caribbean as far as St. Thomas. In Puerto Rico, the nature preserve is known as El Faro (the lighthouse).
The site is part of 5,000 acres that have been acquired by the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico, which was created in 1970 by the governments of the United States and Puerto Rico to protect the island’s most important ecological and historic land. The preserve is a 45-minute drive from San Juan, and several hotels will offer day excursions. Tentatively, the area will be open Tuesday to Sunday, with admission $4. Reservations (809-722-5834) will be required. Denmark to Get Casinos on Jan. 1
