With the summer travel season
heating up, countless consumers will soon face a question they have little idea
how to answer: Would you like to purchase supplemental rental car insurance? To
help travelers give a money-saving response, WalletHub released its 2017 Credit Card Rental
Car Insurance Study, which compares the coverage that we automatically receive from plastic.
A few highlights:
- Best
Credit Cards – Citi credit cards have the most favorable rental car
insurance policies.
- Avoid
Renting – A truck, open-bed vehicle, exotic/antique car, large van or
full-size SUV if you want credit-card coverage, as many cards exclude
them.
- Coverage
Duration – Almost 39% of cards only cover domestic rentals for up to 15
days.
