Outlined below, are some of the most commonly asked question in regards to taking out additional renters insurance. Before you rent your next vehicle you will want to take into account all the questions that are answered here. It may save you some money in the end!

AM I COVERED UNDER MY OWN CAR INSURANCE, EVEN IF DRIVING A RENTAL CAR? This is a big YES! Almost all car insurance companies will cover you, even when you are driving a rental car. I would, however, suggest that you contact your insurance company prior to getting your rental just to be 100% sure.

WILL THE CREDIT CARD THAT I USED TO RENT THE CAR COVER ME FOR ANY DAMAGES? There is not straight yes or no answer for this question. Most of the major credit card companies do offer additional rental insurance, however you should always check prior to using it for your rental.

IF I AM COVERED BY MY CREDIT CARD AND MY CAR INSURANCE DO I NEED TO PURCHASE THE CAR RENTAL INSURANCE JUST IN CASE? Absolutely not. Many companies will tell you that your insurance wont cover everything or that you are leaving yourself open to liability if you don't take their coverage, however most car rental coverage doesn't even cover you as well as your own. Many times the companies and their representatives will lead you to believe that this coverage is necessary, but in reality it will provide you with no benefit at all if you are already covered, and therefore this will just be unnecessary money that you will be handing over to the car rental agent.

Private Investigator Surveillance Tips

By Caroll Collins

An essential part of a private investigator's job is doing surveillance. Mostly, these private investigators do surveillance from their own vehicles. Along the way, these private investigators have acquired some tricks of the craft. Among them are those drafted below:

1. A tinted glass is an key feature for a private investigator. Have your vehicle's windows tinted so you can sit back and be almost unnoticed anyplace you go.

2. When tracking in heavy traffic areas, private investigators must stick on the trailed vehicle's bumper. As there are too many stoplights and there is heavy traffic in city areas, you must remain very close to the trailed vehicle in order not to lose sight of it.

3. Private investigators sometimes determine a name or an address by checking out the mailbox or peeking at a mail that is sticking out.

4. Private investigators can verify whether residence is a single or multi-family home by the number of electric meters.

5. Private investigators must be very careful when tailing someone. The golden rule is to never lose sight of that person.

6. A private investigator must always have a pen, paper or voice recorder anywhere he or she goes. A pen and paper is essential in taking down notes that may be very useful for clients.

7. As it is very tough to estimate a height of an individual - whether male or female - private investigators usually try this trick: you can compare the individual's height to any object near them. You can use a door perhaps, or maybe even a nearby car (or the ones they are using, for that matter).

8. It is unavoidable for private investigators to use a video - however, as a private investigator, you must make sure that there is a date and time stamp on each video. You can correct this on the camera settings. It is advisable to make a panoramic video shot of the person's location or his / her vehicle for confirmation purposes.

9. Stake outs can go for several hours so private investigators are advised to be prepared at all times. Stack foods (protein bars), water or toilet paper in your car.

A Closer Look At MP3 Players

By David Morris

Set your music free with a new digital audio player, or MP3 player, as they are commonly known. With an MP3 player it is easy to shuffle your songs in any order and you can hold your entire music collection the palm of your hand. But where is your music actually stored?

It was common in the past, for MP3 players to use an internal mini hard drive to for data storage. Having a mini hard drive means the MP3 player has lots room to hold music files. The Apple iPod Classic MP3 player has up to 160GB storage and Archos also has players with similar capacity. One of the drawbacks though, of using mini hard drives in MP3 players, is that they make the players more bulky and heavier. They also demand more power to run, so potentially decrease the battery run time.

It's increasingly common for MP3 players now to use flash memory rather than a hard drive, to store data. In fact there are only a few manufactures still using hard drives in their MP3 players, Archos and Apple are two well known examples.

Both manufactures and consumers have found benefits with flash memory based MP3 players. As a flash memory chip is very small compared to a hard drive, it means that manufactures can create very small MP3 players. Flash memory also uses considerably less energy, and so there are big improvements in battery life.

While flash memory is popular, there are some drawbacks. Flash memory has much more limited storage, usually between 8GB to 16GB, when compared to hard drive, especially when compared to the 160GB models from Apple and Archos. It can also be expensive to purchase additional memory cards to add to the player.

There's more to an MP3 player than just music. Almost all MP3 players now come with a color display in a range of different sizes. The smallest are usually 1.8 inch and they can be as big as 4.3 inch or 5 inch. This has transformed MP3 players into videos players too. While watching full length movies on 1.8 inch screen may not be practical, it's still fun to watch short video clips or music videos. The larger screen MP3 players can come with 16:9 ratio screen, and it's a perfect way to watch movie.
