Travelocity is not able to offer car insurance. Customers can still check their own auto insurance to verify that it covers rental cars. Many policies also cover rental vehicles. You can ask your agent for clarification if your insurance policy does not cover your rental vehicle.
Insurance coverage is lacking
Travel insurance is mandatory when renting a car, but it doesn't cover everything. Some rental companies will charge you an additional fee for collision damage waiver (supplemental insurance coverage). You can opt out of coverage entirely if you wish to avoid paying this fee. If you are renting a car, however, without a credit card it is probably not a good idea. Intoxicated or in an accident? This coverage doesn't cover you.
Sabre purchases Travelocity
Sabre's acquisition by Travelocity will make the company a larger family. The privately-held company also has four other business units, including Sabre Hospitality Solutions, Sabre Airline Solutions, and Sabre Travel Network. Travelocity is a major player in the rental car market, with over 5,000 locations.
Travelocity has been a pioneer in the world of travel websites. Travelocity was established in 1996 to help travelers book travel without having to use a travel agent. The two companies now have a strategic partnership in marketing.
