Topic Wiki

There are no Credit Cards that will cover Liability.
Visa, Amex, MasterCard and Discover will cover Loss Damage Waiver / Collision (CDW/LDW)

Cards that cover CDW/LDW in Israel:
Chase: Sapphire Preferred ($95 annual fee)
American Express Gold $195AF
Discover (accepted in Israel as Diners' Club): More, Open Road, Miles, Motiva (none have annual fees)   Policy link

You must present at the time of rental a copy of your policy or a document from the CC company stating that the insurance coverage applies to Israel . You will still have to purchase 3rd Party Liability, but you will save some shekels and have no deductible for damages.

Visa phone number : 800-VISA-911

Visa does NOT cover:
  • Cadillac Escalade
  • Mercedes GL series (they do cover GLK)
  • Mercedes E class
  • Corvettes
  • Camaro ZL1

AMEX premium will charge $24.95 per rental and they cover:
  • Up to $100K for damage or theft and accidental death or dismemberment coverage ($250,000 for California residents), up to $15,000 for excess medical expenses per person, and up to $5,000 for excess personal property coverage ($15,000 for Florida residents)
  • Any car from Mercedes, pickup trucks, Porsche and 15 passenger vans.
  • There's no need to pay for the full amount with money, even if it's with points or coupon rental and you pay just $2 fees they will still cover you.

Those that do NOT have a credit card insurance, here is an alternative:  https://worldwideinsure.org.

Do you need TP(theft protection) and SLI(Supplemental Liability Insurance)
when renting a car in Israel?  or is SLI enough?

I know CDW is covered by Chase CC or WMC

TP and LI are required.
TP is covered by CCs.
CCs don't cover LI. You will be required to pay for it. (unless it's already included in your rate)

(I don't know if Israeli companies offer SLI, but the required minimum is relatively high)

Just rented a car and forgot to call Amex to enroll with the premium insurance,
Can I still call in now? Or once the car is out I'm not covered?

Doesn't have to be,  if u take a luxury car the reg Amex insurance is not covering and premium either as u didn't enroll, or if u take the car for longer then 30 days ur not covered with Amex to begin with unless u enrolled in premium

what credit card is better to use for coverage? amex platinum business card or chase sapphire preffered?

also its for a mustang convertible in Hawaii.

if I use the amex card should I pay $25 for their premium coverage?

also should I take any of the additional insurance options that the rental company offers?

Either; Although Chase is primary. Why do you need to buy premium coverage for just a convertible?

Regular coverage is quite fine.
