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.

US credit cards never cover liability.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Rented a car on Friday from Enterprise with my UA Explorer (Domestic rental).  Someone hit it while it was parked today, but left their info.  I went to return it and Enterprise insisted on calling Geico to report it even though I had the claims department from Chase on the line telling them not to, and they're primary.  Enterprise claims they ONLY deal with the insured direct auto insurance.  What did I do wrong?

Did you bother trying to read through the last few pages of the thread, instead of making other people take their time to write it out again and clutter up the thread?

and if u don't have google and no one from the dedicated ddf response team gets back to you within 24 hours, just call the number on the back of your card. (plz keep this method a secret, don't spread it amongst all ur friends)
