real car company's but that can $30 a day. liability can run 10 to $15 a day. in the end, andrea says piece of mind is worth doing theea rh and pay for additional coverage if it's needed just to be safe. >> if you're traveling outside the u.s. it's possible your personal insurance won't cover a ntal car. in that case your best option is to get the rental car. make sure it'sng g to cover all the activities you have planned. it's horrible coming back fromna trip getting the bill and saying, oh, my gosh or getting in an accident and seeing something y weren't expecting. >> it all adds t. >> does. turning to the weekend. doug, will we get a good day? maybe a not so good day? >> yeah. >> half and half weekend? >> that's kind of whatt is. it was looking two days ago like saturday would be the day we had
