Chase Sapphire is great.

My Chase Sapphire is downgraded at the moment -
  I have a Chase Ink Business but it doesn't cover Israel.
     
Hmm... May just end up using my Chase IHG.

So I guess the Chase Ink Bus DOES cover Israel. Any reason to use the IHG over the Ink Bus?

Anyway to determine the cost of the mandatory 3rd party liability from these rental car companies.  CC covers CDW and TP. But the 3rd party liability can vary and waiting till you get to the counter to find out your paying an additional $20 a day isnt cool.

It's never less than $10. Your also at the mercy of the rep, at times I've seen companies that charge much more than they officially do.

Thank you.

Keep in mind FOREX fees. Amex is generally considered better coverage. Check the limits of each.
