Many people buy travel insurance to cover the rental car however they may not be aware of that their car insurance or credit card already provides them with coverage. It is always advisable to check it in advance to avoid extra costs.
When somebody rent a car in the US (US citizens) they can use their car insurance to cover their rental car. They may need additional coverage for “loss of use” charges when the rental car needs repair.
It is always smart to check with your credit card provider whether they cover the car rental or not. Visa, American Express and MasteCard often offer coverage. It is very important to double check with them because it only provides coverage when travelers pay for the rented car on the card.
