Thanks. What I am concerned is if they charge my card and then can't get anything from driver, it may be months later and be too late to file a claim with the credit card.

Is it somehow better to file with credit card also?
File with credit card, worst case you'll even make money.

Yes will file if Hertz charges me

Think I can wait until I return the car in a week at airport to let hertz know about it?

File with CC even before Hertz charges you since they must be notified within x amount of days otherwise they don't cover.

Feel free to wait till you return but better to notify in advance.

Rented in Israel and box fell off truck and got my car. Driver gave me all his info.

When I submit to Hertz will they first charge my card and then try to get back from other insurance?

Used Chase united for cdw

Follow-up

At counter Hertz said they would charge me but as of three weeks after return they have not.

Filled with Chase anyway since you only have 60 days to file then a year to provide docs.

Now Hertz charged me. Will submit all docs to Chase. It's a pain but should be covered.

Why would anyone need this in Israel? Cc covers cdw and liability is covered by  third party insurance you must pay for.

I will rent a car in Israel and have the
 
Barclays AA Aviator World Elite MasterCard
or Amex business Platinum.
Both claim to cover insurance and no forex fees...
Which one I will have the best coverage?

Any advantage one over the other in Israel?
Renting through Europcar.

Thank you.

 :just got raped at car rental. $140 in insurance. Even after removing cdw because I used chase saphire. Then she won't remove cdw because I won't put a 2500 hold on my saphire. So It was like 170 in fees and a500 hold.

I rented it via chase ur  portal like a dummy figuring 70$ for 6 days was a epic deal. It's Alamo via eldan.

What did I do wrong and how do I get my money back gazlanim!! Offered amex plat too

Sorry to hear, but this is the reason everyone uses agents to rent a car in israel. You can book on kayak for $12 but you end up paying way more than booking through an agent.

*always* use an agent in Israel!
There is *mandatory* TP insurance of ~15 a day and she probably charged you ~6 a day for CDW.
Plus airport fee
And you're at around 170.
So no you didn't get raped.
Only thing you could've avoided is cdw.
And again in Israel specifically always use an agent, there are a few great ones here the forums.
For example author of the post above mine.
