With millions of people on American roadways every day, it is only a matter of time before everyone experiences being in an accident. Unfortunately, the more you travel the higher your chances become and that is why if you’re out of town, for any reason, having the proper insurance coverage on a rental car is of paramount importance. This is why rental companies offer you the option to purchase one of two types of insurance.

The first type of insurance is either included in the costs of the rental or can be had for a very affordable premium. It is considered the most basic of insurance and only covers the other vehicle in the event of an accident (such as liability coverage in your own vehicle). However, if you choose this insurance you will be responsible to pay back the cost of repairs on the vehicle that you’re driving and will likely be responsible for at least a portion of any medical bills. This can be covered by your own personal insurance in some instances, but may not be.

Other than the basic insurance, you have the option to purchase a full coverage insurance that will cover all the costs associated with any accident. This means that even if you are at fault, the medical and the repair costs will be covered by the rental company’s insurance. This is by far the best option for rental car insurance as you will not have to pay anything out of pocket. However, the costs of this insurance can quickly become too much to pay for as the premium is generally much higher than the basic coverage insurance and will run anywhere between $20.00 and $60.00 per day.

Can I Deduct Rental Car Costs as a Moving Expense?

Filed under: Car Rental Indianapolis - 16 Feb 2010  | Spread the word !

Recently, many people have been told by their employers that their services are no longer needed. This has been, in large part, due to the current economic crisis that has been gripping America. While the economy is beginning to turn around and start looking like it will stabilize soon, there are still millions of Americans without a job or working a job that doesn’t support their families. This has led many people to seek employment in different cities around the United States which leads to relocation for those that find work.

One of the problems with finding work in a different country, state, or even a different city is that you then need to fund a move for your entire family. This is no easy task and employers understand that and many offer relocation services that they pay for. However, for some, they will need to relocate mainly with their own money and sometimes will receive no help from their employer. Most of these expenses people understand they can deduct from their taxes as a necessity, but not many realize that even when they are looking for a new home and need to rent a car to find their property they can begin keeping receipts to add to their deductions.

The IRS has stated that they will allow anyone who relocates to claim all of their expenses, except food, as a deduction on a 3903 tax form. This means that from the very start of your relocation expenses you can start saving receipts for everything that costs you money from flights to conference calls and even rental cars so that it can be offset at the end of the year so long as your employer does not reimburse your expenses.

Speed Through Indianapolis

The Indianapolis speedway is home to the most famous racecar race in the entire world, the Indianapolis 500. It is next to impossible to call yourself a racing fan without enjoying the race each year. Some 400,000 attend the race each year, and if you’re crazy enough to try and join them, go ahead. The best time to go to the track, if you’re not interested in seeing the race for yourself, is during the offseason months. Going during the offseason will let you see everything the track has to offer without having to fight your way through the massive crowds that always seem to plague the attraction.

With all of that in mind, a visit to the track is a pretty cool experience. It all really depends on whether or not you’re a racing fan to determine whether or not you’ll have a good time. The track itself isn’t much fun to take a look at from the side lines, which is why a bus drive around the track is offered. After the bus you’re allowed to go into the museum to see all of the racing history of the place, including all of the Indianapolis 500 winners through history. In my humble opinion, the place may just be a place to kill a few hours in the afternoon, not a huge family event like Disney World or the like. It’s unfortunate because the race has a rich history of culture and skill.
