Camcorder help needed.

[Disney Girl #1]

I am going to Disney World in just under 4 weeks and to not have the resources to buy a camcorder. I though about renting one at our only local store, Rent-A-Center. My only concern is if somehow I accidentally damaged it while we were at Disney World. I called the store and they don't have any insurance to cover it. Does anyone know if there's an insurance out there that will cover a borrowed camcorder? Thanks so much in advance for responsing to my question.

How much is it going to cost you to rent a camcorder for your vacation?

If they don't offer insurance, I have no idea who would.

Isn't that what Rent-A-Center is for....renting things? I don't know who else would rent a camcorder?? Is there someone you could borrow one from? I know alot of times, Sears department stores have no interest for a year when you make a purchase of $xx.xx and up. We had to buy a new camcorder last October and paid it off this year (monthly) before the finance charge kicked in (Oct. 2004)....good luck!

Check some small independent camera stores or possible another rental place. Numerous years ago I used to rent 35mm camera to take on vacation and I guess I never even thought about insurance at that time, I will say that nothing ever happened to those I rented. But maybe other places might offer this service of renting as well.
