Creator's Key Takeaways

So, first off, along with sending our love and our prayers to these guests as well as their families, it's really important to keep in mind how important it is to have a passport.

Make sure that you think about insurance. Make sure that you know how you're going to pay for or how you're going to be covered when the unexpected happens.

I think that would be absolutely remarkable to get to do that.

Don't be renting from Herz. Pick somebody else.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always have a passport when cruising to international ports.
Purchase and understand travel insurance coverage.
Plan car rental itineraries to return in the same country to avoid extra costs.
Take a thorough video when returning a rental car to document its condition.
