Peter talks to Sam at the rental car counter about renting a car.
Sam tells Peter about a special offer they 're having and helps
him understand how the rental fees work.
................................................................................................
Sam: Hello. How can I help you?
Peter: I'd like to rent a car for the weekend.
Sam: What size did you have in mind?
Peter: I'd like your cheapest car, so I guess that would be a compact.
Sam: We're running a special right now. You can rent a mid-size
car for the same price as a compact. It's $55 a day inclusive
of tax, plus insurance. It's such a great deal!
Peter: Okay, I'll take it.
Sam: All right. Let me just print out the agreement ... Here you
go, read that over, please.
Peter: I can't make heads or tails of this information. Do I really
need insurance? I already have a good auto insurance plan.
Sam: Then you 're probably all set. I do recommend the collision
damage waiver.* It's only $10 a day. That way, if you bang
up the car, you won't owe us anything.
Peter: I'm sure I won't have an accident, but I'll take it just in
case.
Sam: Very good. If you don't rent the car with a full tank of gas,
we charge $9 a gallon to refill it.

Peter: Nine bucks a gallon? That's so expensive. It's highway robber!
Sam: Be sure to return the car by 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Peter: Five? That's going to be cutting it close. The conference I'm
attending ends at 4:30. What if l get it here at 6 on Sunday?
Sam: It'll be another $65.
Peter: There's no grace period?
Sam: There's a 29 minute grace period. So you could return the
car at 5:29 and still be okay.
Peter: Okay, thanks. You've been such a big help.
Sam: You're very welcome. Here's the key. The car is in space
A4. You're good to go
