Alright, Mr. Thompson, let's go over the insurance options for your rental. Our standard rental includes basic coverage, but we highly recommend considering additional protection.
好的,汤普森先生,我们来讨论一下您的租车保险选项。我们的标准租车包含基本保险,但我强烈建议您考虑额外的保障。
2
James (Male)
Okay, what are the main options? I want to make sure I'm adequately covered, but I don't want to overpay either.
好的,主要有哪些选项?我想确保我有足够的保险,但也不想花冤枉钱。
3
Lisa (Female)
Of course. The most common options are our Collision Damage Waiver, or CDW, which covers damage to our vehicle. Then there's Supplemental Liability Insurance, SLI, for third-party damages, and Personal Accident Insurance, PAI, for medical expenses in case of an accident.
当然。最常见的选项是我们的碰撞险,简称CDW,它承保我们车辆的损坏。然后是补充责任险,SLI,用于第三方损害,还有个人事故险,PAI,用于发生事故时的医疗费用。

James (Male)
So, the CDW covers my rental car. What kind of deductible does it have, and what's the daily cost for that?
所以,CDW承保我租的这辆车。它的免赔额是多少?每天的费用又是多少?
5
Lisa (Female)
With the full CDW, there's no deductible. It's an additional $25 per day. We also have a partial CDW with a $500 deductible for $15 daily.
购买全额CDW的话,没有免赔额。每天额外收费25美元。我们也有部分CDW,免赔额为500美元,每天收费15美元。
6
James (Male)
No deductible sounds good. And the SLI? What does that typically cover and for how much?
没有免赔额听起来不错。那SLI呢?它通常承保什么,费用是多少?
7
Lisa (Female)
The SLI provides up to $1 million in coverage for damages or injuries you might cause to other people or their property. That's usually $18 a day, and it's highly recommended, especially if your personal auto insurance doesn't extend to rental cars.
SLI提供高达100万美元的承保,用于您可能对他人或其财产造成的损害或伤害。这通常是每天18美元,强烈推荐,特别是如果您的个人汽车保险不涵盖租车。

James (Male)
Got it. So, if I take the full CDW and the SLI, that's $43 a day. And the PAI, that's for medical, right?
明白了。那如果我选择全额CDW和SLI,就是每天43美元。PAI是医疗保险,对吗?
9
Lisa (Female)
Exactly. PAI covers up to $10,000 in medical expenses for you and your passengers and also offers a small accidental death benefit. It's $8 a day, but many credit cards offer some form of travel accident insurance, so you might want to check if you're already covered.
没错。PAI承保您和您的乘客高达1万美元的医疗费用,并提供小额意外死亡赔偿。每天是8美元,但许多信用卡提供某种形式的旅行意外险,所以您可能想查一下是否已经有覆盖了。

I want to make sure I'm adequately covered, but I don't want to overpay either.

The most common options are our Collision Damage Waiver, or CDW, which covers damage to our vehicle.

This introduces options clearly. Good for explanations. 'Or CDW' is an abbreviation; 'which covers' is a relative clause explaining what it does. Use this pattern to define terms.

这清楚地介绍了选项。适合解释。'Or CDW' 是缩写;'which covers' 是解释其功能的定语从句。使用这种模式来定义术语。

With the full CDW, there's no deductible.
