[M] I'm sorry to disappoint
you, but we don't have any rental
cars available.
[W] I didn't realize that a holiday coincided with our vacation.
[M] This holiday weekend has been especially busy.
[M] Would you like to have collision
insurance on the rental car? It's optional coverage.
[W] I doubt very much that we'll have an accident, but I'd feel
less nervous if we had the coverage.
[M] No one ever intends
to have an accident, so it's probably wise to have the extra insurance
coverage.
[M] In addition to the
compact cars and sedans, we also have a tier
of luxury cars, such as sports cars and convertibles.
[W] Please don't tempt
me with a convertible. I should stick with a budget car.
[M] You know your needs, but I don't want you to miss the thrill of driving along the ocean with
the top down.
[M] The car rental agency won't rent a car to me until I've had my
driver's license for at least six
months.
[W] They just want to be sure you are an experienced driver. Did
you contact more than one agency?
[M] I've called at least
six companies, and each has different restrictions and prices. I'm confused by all the information.
