If you have rented from Avis or Advantage under the state contract, failure to notify the rental company within the 24-hour period will invalidate the contract insurance coverages. In other words, if you don't tell the location about it within this time frame, you will be personally responsible for all damages, whether to the vehicle or to persons and property outside the vehicle. Do not take a promotional rate when renting from Advantage or Avis. No matter how cheap it may sound up front, it could end up costing you big bucks.
Promotional rates includes no insurance.
If you take the promotional rate and add on the insurances, the total cost will usually be much higher than the contract rate would be, and the Comptroller will not reimburse payment to a contract vendor for services that are included in the contract. If you take the promotional rate but do not take the insurances and you have an accident, you will be personally responsible for all damages. Some hotels have begun charging credit cards at the time of reservation instead of waiting until check-in. Travelers who secure reservations in advance could find themselves billed for a room night before they even get to the hotel. If a traveler does not cancel before the cancellation deadline, this charge will not be refunded by the hotel and whether it will be reimbursed depends on the guidelines established by the Comptroller's Office.
