Hi Everyone!
 
The cost for the Van 2 rental at pickup is $357 which does not include insurance charges or gas. We used this type of van for a couple of races already and the average gas usage was about 1 full tank of gas (20 gallon-tank at 18-20 mpg). So 20 gallons of gas at an average of $3.60 per gallon (based on Wickenburg and Tempe rates) would roughly cost $72. 
 
The insurance rates are quite high but not needed if each driver is covered by their respective insurance company.  My company, USAA does cover me for rental vehicles. We should have at least one other driver in Van 2, preferably someone who is covered by their respective insurance company. 
 
Do we have another person in Van 2 who is covered for rental vehicles and would like to be another driver?  If so, we can avoid additional insurance fees (can be as high as $50 per day).
 
The amount per person in Van 2 without paying insurance fees would be $71.  We can settle the fees up Thursday night and if any more charges are added (additional driver fees, insurance fees, or more gas) we can work that into the per person amount.
 
 
Rental Fees w/o Insurance    $357
 
Estimated Fuel                       $  72
 
Total                                       $429
 
Est. per person                       $  71
 
 
Note: With minimal insurance coverage, the additional fees could be as high as $25 more per person.

Krista,

I have a runner to replace Kyle. His name is Guerito Espinoza and he's a pretty good runner. He works with Jay. His email address is espino...@gmail.com. I told him to go online and make a profile so you can invite him. Any questions just let me know.

Yippee!! Thank you. Is he good w/ running Kyle's legs, or do we need to shuffle things around? And do we have any hotel issues?

Guerito has been invited. He needs to accept the invitation to actually get added. Then, I'll put him in slot one -- if that is okay w/ him.

I am happy to drive (and I drove all but the end of a Ragnar in Van 2 once) & I'd be insured with the rental car, but not for the "Loss of Use" if we have an accident. So, I'd prefer us to buy the additional insurance if I'm a driver. Normally, I'd take care of that by renting the vehicle w/ one of my credit cards -- they cover that extra insurance bit.

He's fine with the legs and I told him he can just bunk in our room.

Also, I agree w/ Keith's van gas mileage guess (that is what we needed when I drove a white van for Ragnar). I AM comfortable paying my portion of the extra insurance, if we need to do that. We can vacuum it out, if necessary, at my parents' place. Or, I'm willing to chip in for cleaning if that is necessary.

It is supposed to RAIN on Friday, so concern about mud isn't actually a "odd chance." situation.

Thank you, Keith, for grabbing the van for Van 2. -Krista

Have him look at his profile and see if he has an invitation sitting there. I think the website is having trouble again. I invited him, but it isn't showing up. I've emailed technical support.

I know my insurance covers me for rental vehicles, so I'm happy to help out with driving.

My insurance would likely cover collision and liability but does not cover the "all events" and non-use for rentals.  When we did Las Vegas we took out that extra so we didn't have to worry about cleaning it up or removing the graffiti.  I think it's a good investment.

Excellent...unless someone wants us to get the insurance to be sure, it sounds like we do not need the extra insurance on Van 2.
 
Are there any Van 2 runners that want the insurance as a precaution?  If one person does then we should just get it and add the $25 per person.

On thinking about it, for $25 I guess I'm in the better safe than sorry camp unless anybody absolutely doesn't want to pay it. 
Do we have a full estimate on the breakdown of final costs for everything yet?

As  I said earlier, I definitely won't drive or take responsibility for driving unless the extra insurance is added. So, yes, I want it.

Okay...Van 2 will have the added insurance.
 
I will add it to the reservation and send the total cost for Van 2 back out to everyone.

I am all for the insurance. The $25.00 is a small price to pay for the coverage. Let's go for it.
