I once rented a car at an agency in a garage in Rome. The parking structure was tight and poorly lighted, and before I even exited I put a dent (凹痕) in the vehicle, thanks to a low concrete barrier I couldn’t see in the rearview mirror. I’m a careful driver at home with a clean record. But renting abroad poses special challenges, as well as the risk of unintended encounters with foreign objects, which in my case have included a milk truck in Jamaica and hedgerows (灌木篱墙) all over England.
Eventually I decided that dents and scrapes are an almost inevitable consequence of driving in unfamiliar territory, and I resigned myself to buying comprehensive accident protection from rental car agencies. When I travel abroad, I routinely take out a collision damage waiver (碰撞险) and liability. These two plans alone can cost up to $30 a day, but allow me to drive away knowing that, whatever happens, I’m covered.
People who refuse rental car agency protection plans might call me a sucker. Many of them think that insurance is a deep profit centre for big rental companies, most of which have their own repair shops and sometimes don’t bother to fix dents. Others assume they have adequate coverage through policies that insure their cars at home and generally extend to rentals in the United States. But personal auto insurance from most companies, rarely applies to vehicles rented abroad.
It’s all too easy to underestimate the differences between driving at home and abroad, especially if you fly to a place, rent a car at the airport and then hit the road. Suddenly you may be confronted with a dangerously short highway entrance ramp (坡道), or—surprise—the fact that you’ve rented a vehicle with a manual transmission. Don’t assume that the vehicle you rent will have an automatic transmission, air-conditioning and windows. When renting abroad you must request these thing specifically. In general, it helps to rent a car as similar as possible to the one you drive at home so you can venture with confidence into a new country. [br] What do people usually think concerning driving at home and abroad?
选项
A、People think of driving abroad as a difficult thing.
B、People underestimate the difficulty of driving abroad.
C、People think driving at home and abroad is the same.
D、People regard cars rented at home and abroad are the same.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。由原文推知,人们往往容易低估在国外开车与国内开车的不同,再根据后面提到的在国外开车遇到的困难,可知B)“人们低估在国外开车的困难”为正确答案。
