There is no honest fixed daily rate for every date and category. These are the details that usually change the complete total.
Insurance names can look simple, but exclusions and excess rules matter. Confirm the exact terms in the written offer and rental agreement.
Basic Collision Damage Waiver is included in the quote total and normally carries an excess that depends on the vehicle category.
Full Damage Waiver may reduce the liability for covered vehicle damage to zero, subject to the exclusions in the rental terms.
Always follow the rental agreement and current road conditions. A famous destination does not automatically mean every access road is permitted.
