Larry:

Right on $50 max via Bank of America....also...reading the fine print,
lets say the car rental places a hold of $500 on the card without your
knowledge....after the rental, call and check your balance. If the 
balance is way off due to the car rental company's hold, call BofA
within 2 days and report an unauthorized transaction has been made on
your account; you are now only stuck for the same $50 maximum.

There is always a way around things if one reads all the print.
