Collisions and rental cars

On November 4th I rented a car in Long Beach. I was staying one night in the area, and needed a car.

Overnight the car bumper was damaged by another car while the rental was parked. The guy actually left a note with his phone number.
I still have the note.

I rented the car for $28.00 from Priceline. I used my VISA, so since I decided to not get the Collision Damage Waiver from AVIS. I filed a claim with VISA. They paid the $300.00 to cover the damage. AVIS vs. VISA... that just makes me giggle.

I never had to do this before, but it is actually nice when the system works for you.
