So, what kind of car was it?

One with sub-par handling characteristics ?

Sounds like quite the adventure. I obviously have no idea about the terms of your card, but my corporate credit card does include private liability insurance on business trips, so it would cover the car.
In the American sense of car insurance, at least, liability insurance wouldn't cover this.  Liability insurance covers the damage to other cars that you cause.  In US, at least, this kind of accident would be under a collision coverage, which is optional.

Would property damage possibly apply to this situation? I checked my comprehensive policy, and it is limited to the cars listed in the policy. Property damage seemed to be the only potential I have to use my personal policy--but I'd guess the answer is no.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

A chevy classic--basically a chevy malibu. The choice of drivers everywhere for extreme adventure travel.

I had actually requested a 4 x 4 truck, but it wasn't available until the day after I left. So I made due with what I had.

Very much doubt it.  Property damage, AFAIK, is when you are 89 years old, and drive through the neighbor's house while trying to leave your driveway.

Wtf? As they are both on the second page, I think we can assess the activity of my car accident thread and DGullers:

DGullers thread about a minor rear end collision in NYC: 117 posts.

My thread about flipping a car in a remote area of Patagonia: 18 posts.

:yeah: The difference is that your accident was non-fatal, whereas the jury is still out on mine.

DGuller had a 26 year old girl and the possibilty of extortion sex. And perhaps the possibly of a gangland hit.

His story had a young Italian-American girl on it, followed by vaguely Soprano-like threats. There was much more drama there.

Damn, man, both Hilly and me had the same first thought, the girl, and you think about your possible demise? No wonder people think Russians are depressing.  :P

I made it to the Cueva de las Manos. I drove from Calafate after a rain, and it was easily the most difficult drive I've ever been on. I can't imagine a worse road--the wet sections turned into a deep type of mud that stuck to my boots and trashed the car interior too. You literally could not tell what color the car was. Hertz is charging me for washing the car, which is something I've never heard of before.

DGuller updated his thread much more frequently.

By now anytime they come see you walking towards them to rent a car this place must shutter their windows and lock their doors :lol:
