When renting a car internationally, do most people just use one of the CCs that offer CDW/LDW or do you also buy liability?

I used the sapphire and it was the best decision I made. The car I rented had gotten damage I was charged and I simply used the SP benefits through Chase and a few weeks later I had a check in my pocket to reimburse me. Free protection is great.

Sweet! Just seems like "liability" is not covered by the card. I'm curious what that means exactly.

Has anyone used Amex premium rental insurance? My rental car was recently broken into and a laptop bag stolen. I no longer have access to the receipt of any items in the bag (it's over 5 years old). Anyone have experience dealing with this? Will I need the receipts and what is their verification process?

Did you have premium car rental insurance? They supposedly cover $5k of personal items stolen in the vehicle...

No cards cover liability AFAIK

I rent cars quite often. Over the past few years, I've rented all different types of cars (including SUVs minivans & pick-up trucks) using my credit card for insurance. This summer I plan on driving a 24ft budget moving truck cross country, so I was trying to find out if my credit cards would cover my truck. I read the fine prints and spoke to agents on the phone for both my amex gold and my citi executive advantage mastercard. They all say that it does not cover any SUVs minivans pickups vans trucks or any vehicle valued over $50,000. Has anyone rented anything larger than a full size car?? Did you pay for insurance?

Pickup trucks are not covered unless you use Amex premium coverage. Mini van and suv on the other hand are covered with regular CC insurance

That's what I thought too until I read the fine print. I called them and they told me the same thing that suvs and minivans are not covered.
