What cars does Enterprise have that are reliable but cheap to rent?

A midsize car (rather than a SUV or van)will be best. There are not set prices for certain cars, your price will be entirely dependent on the length of your rental, the days you will be using it, whether or not it is a holiday, and many more factors. To keep your costs down check with your credit card company to find out if they offer insurance coverage on your rental, if this is the case you will not need the insurance offered by the rental company.

What is the usual price for car rental insurance and do I have to have it through my insurance company or does the car rental place offer it?

It's possible that your credit card may offer free or discounted rental car insurance if you rent the car with their card. Before purchasing rental insurance you should call up your agent or check your policy to make sure that your insurance is sufficient. If you rent a car that's substantially more valuable than the car your policy covers then you may need it, but there's usually no reason to pay more than a few dollars per day. Check your policy and your credit card company first The usual price, to average it is about 10 dollars. The rental insurance is bought through the rental agency and does not go through your insurance. The price of the insurance varies between rental companies and the age of the renter. Some regular insurance companies offer autmatic rental car insruance that will cover you when you decide to rent a vehicle from a rent a car facility
