> Rental cars

That's a whole new can of worms though. Their scams can be a lot more expensive, and are usually after the fact (although they'll try them at the pickup counter too).

It's one of those things I will specifically always arrange through a third party that covers insurance as well, which is really an insurance against the rental companies scams.

My credit card pretty much covers anything that can go wrong with car insurance, as well as insures the full value of the vehicle.

I do realize that this may not be available in countries that properly regulate credit cards so that they don’t create a caste system of rewards card benefits.

This in itself is a problem. I only need a credit card for car rental. (Been refused a debit card, which would technicallt work, but reasons?) Why? Because it's a poisened industry.

Yeah, I don't think I'm ever getting that €600 back from Hertz Calais. Still bitter about it.
