Getting ready to rent a car? Know how much insurance you’ll need? Many of us are confused on this issue, but American Express has a few tips to ease our confusion.
Before you rent your next car, follow these easy steps to simplify the process:
--Maybe your credit card automatically provides collision damage insurance. Policies vary, so be sure to check with your credit card company.
--Rules and regulations on renting a car overseas can vary by country and by company. Make it a point to understand local regulations in the countries in which you’ll be traveling. Contact the car rental company in advance to determine their policies.
--There are often restrictions on rentals on expensive, antique, commercial and sport utility vehicles, and losses involving use by an unauthorized driver, illegal activity and driving outside authorized rental territory. Check it out before signing the rental contract.
--Some cards provide Car Rental Loss and Damage Insurance, including American Express Personal, Gold and Platinum Charge Cards, as well as several credit cards including Delta SkyMiles Credit Card and the American Express Golf Card.
Follow these simple common sense tips and start enjoying your trip. The American Express Web site, www.americanexpress.com offers more information on car rental insurance, enhancing your travel experience, and much more.
