With so much choice at the rental counter, it’s easy to agree to each and every insurance policy on offer.  What many drivers don’t realise is that they’re very likely doubling up on insurance coverage that they already have.   

Not only does a driver’s insurance policy usually protect them against theft and damages to a rental vehicle, but so too does a major credit card used to pay the rental fee.  The best thing to do is to call your insurance agent and credit card company well before you’re due to leave.  Just because you’ve paid with a gold or platinum credit card in the past, doesn’t mean it offers the same protection plans as insurance benefits change from time to time.
