A lot depends on whether or not you own your own car.
However, note that liability protection and insurance for personal injuries or belongings are not included in credit card rental car insurance. You can add these other coverages at the rental desk—you only need to decline the collision-damage waiver.Most cards offer secondary coverage:
Secondary credit card rental car insurance requires you to file a claim with your personal auto insurance policy first—if you have one—and may only cover your deductible. If you don’t have a personal auto insurance policy, however, that coverage becomes primary coverage. Some cards offer primary coverage regardless of whether you have a personal vehicle policy.
“You really need to read the fine print,” says Carol Sheehan, claims director for Plymouth Rock Assurance, a Massachusetts-based insurance provider. “Your card might not be giving you as much coverage as you need.” It’s important to understand what is and isn’t covered, as well as the process for filing a claim.
American Express offers a unique option for cardholders with its premium rental car protection. If you’re not satisfied with secondary coverage, you can purchase primary coverage at a rate of up to $24.95 for the full rental period—that’s cheaper than what some car rental agencies charge for a day. The standard American Express rental car insurance also includes coverage for personal effects, injuries and accidental death but does not include liability protection.
