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.

:
-Closed rental agreement
a copy of your rental receipt which you should've received after you returned the car
-Demand Letter
?
-Appraisal of or Estimate of Damage
enterprise should've mailed you a copy of this, because they want you to pay for it. IME with Hertz, they dont contact the cc insurance at all; I had to be the middle man.

Write it and sign it in front of a Notary?

Notary just proves who you are not that what you're saying is true.

AFAIK you can not get liability from anyone other than the rental agency (or your personal car insurance)

Insurance included in corporates is a different story.
And there are state minimums that the rental company must cover. Don't have much info on that though.

To be safely and fully covered you just purchase from them or have your own car insurance

If you're the primary driver, any cc should cover you

yes.
they don't ask you about your age. but the corporate account has to be one that you can legally use. Also, the united card gives primary CDW so you should probably use that.

I have a USAA account, (not a debit card, just signed up normally) so I can use that code. And I will just use the United card. Thanks
