Which credit cards have primary insurance on rentals in Ireland? Or do I need to pay the fees through the rental agencies?

Looking into a very expensive rental. I have some dead AA miles stirring around was going to just use them for the rental and pay the remainder in cash through the AA site. If I use the CSR to pay that difference will I be covered? Or will it be considered a charge to AA directly, leaving the rental unprotected forcing me to buy insurance?

How classic. According to a Chase benefits rep, "cargo vans" are not covered and a camper would fall under the cargo van category. According to an Amex benefits rep, "cargo vans" are covered, but "campers" have their own category and are not covered. The search continues...

Any update on this?

Just booked a 7 day rental car in Israel with Budget via Priceline. It's a mid-size car and I paid $85. I read the T&C and the only other fee seems to be the $30 charge for airport P/u. I intend to use a cc that will cover the cdw. What other fees will I need to pay to ensure proper coverage? Just want to make sure I am not missing anything as the price seems so inexpensive.
Thanks

It's not including insurance...call the rental location with the reservation number

$10+ a day

Your best bet is to call an agent.

Currently have a rental from budget in South Africa.
Booked and paid (hold on my CC)with my CSR. windshield got a chip in it
Will I be covered?
Can/should I switch to my Amex, ans would it help? (For the premium coverage)

shapsam · « **Reply #1113 on:** August 02, 2018, 10:19:06 AM »

Does Amex mind or do they do anything to you if you have a lot of (expensive) CDW claims?

I submitted a claim for car rental damage in Israel with Amex. The car rental companies here charge 17% VAT for damages, and now Amex claim they only cover the damage but not the taxes. I never had such an issue with chase. Did anyone have a similar situation? Is there anything I can do about it?

any update? I currently have a rental in IL and will need to use the CDW
Renting using AMEX BP.
how easy where they with coverage?
Did you get the tax back?

Do you need to get liability insurance when renting?

For US rentals, if you have your own car insurance, it covers liability as well. Otherwise you need to purchase liability.
