Hawkeye Trip

Matt Zabelle and Charlie Caravella have hit the road for a busy week of networking in Las Vegas and Arizona!

Their trip kicked off at the NP Auto Group (Priceless Car Renter, Next Car, RentAWreck) 2024 Annual Convention, where they’ve been engaging with industry leaders and sharing ideas.

Now, they’re headed to the Avis-Budget Profit Group Meeting. There, Charlie is set to take the stage as a speaker, exchanging his experience and knowledge with other well-versed industry professionals.

Round Table Discussion

At the recent Travel Insurance Roundtable, industry professionals came together to address the complexities surrounding rental car insurance and claims processing. The discussion highlighted the differences between standard auto insurance, travel insurance, and credit card benefits.

Participants explored common challenges, such as the limitations of reimbursement-based insurance policies and the need for more transparent communication between rental companies and insurance providers.

Key takeaways included the importance of verifying coverage at the rental counter, understanding policy exclusions, and implementing systems to streamline claim verification processes. The group also emphasized the need for educating rental staff on the nuances of credit card and travel insurance coverage, aiming to improve the overall customer experience.

Upcoming Open Round Table

If you missed our last virtual meeting, you're in luck! We have decided to host another open discussion, which will dive deeper into travel insurance issues for rental car companies.

Our "Deep Dive Into Travel Insurance Issues For Rental Car Companies" meeting will take place Thursday, November 14th at 1PM eastern standard time.
