[cozmohoot]

you can use to reserve the car, and at return if no damage just pay with other card that has no forex

not a bad idea. i have to call chase to see if the plain sap mc is considered world hence giving free cdw in israel

Officially*, the rule is that if you take CC insurance, you must pay with either that CC, or cash. They will not let you switch to a different CC.

* Like everything else in this game, there are workarounds...

Next question is how much the forex would be from chase on a 250 purchase?
I can weigh the option of no forex but pay for cdw or free cdw and pay the forex.

if you are really desperate call chase before return to block the card, if it's denied i would assume they should agree to take other card

huh? they put a hold on your card when you pick up the vehicle how would blocking or closing the card help that would defeat the purpose. no?

Bad idea. Companies such as Avis Israel only process the charge at the end of the day, after you've left - but at the time of return, it will seem to go through.

To them, this will look like an attempt to get out of paying - and they'll permanently blacklist you.

Umm, cap1 has been around for quite some time...

Just to note, WMC only covers Card members and AU (that are also listed on the rental agreement). They will not cover a spouse if she's not an AU even if she's on the rental agreement.

I can't tell you where  but I remember reading that it covers anybody that is authorized to drive the car (which makes sense).

I know this must have been asked thousands of times, but i cant find it. Does amex platinum cover car rental insurance in Israel?

No.

I sent an email to MC and they told me that the sapphire World master card covers Israel. I looked at the agreement (I'm attaching) and it says it's not covered. What is correct.
