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.

No, that means that you only have secondary coverage and your personal insurance has a deductible.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Usually they handle it with the rental car company.

1. Like you said a "world Mastercard"
2. It's part of the rental price. It's just collision that you have to deal with.

Like I said
It's only part of it since is mandatory. But there is an actual price breakdown where you see the price for insurance which has a set price. Make a reservation on an OTA and you'll see the base price as low as $5 before it's added

That's why it's almost never worth booking on a OTA bec there is more fees added on when you pick up the car making the price higher then when booking with a agent. When booking with agents there's no break down. They get a set price which includes the insurance.

There is still a breakdown, you just may not see it. I can get the same price online as with an agent usually. I'm not talking about any extra added fees

A two day rental before all fees is $15. I have zero interest in researching how much extra it will cost or fighting this out
