If you plan to rent a car in Europe anytime soon, you should be more careful than ever about avoiding exorbitant insurance costs. That means renting with a credit card that provides no-cost collision coverage. And on some rentals it means paying with AmEx or Visa, not MasterCard. Unless you've checked lately, you're in for sticker shock about insurance costs. Not only are collision-damage waiver (CDW) costs higher than they are in the United States, but also you're apt to be hit with two kinds of CDW.

If I refuse to pay for a rental company's collision/loss damage waiver (CDW), my credit card (most AmEX and Visa, some MasterCard) says it covers my risk. But does it cover me fully or doesn't it? After a month of checking, my answer to that vexing question is a firm "maybe." Rather than a concrete yes-or-no answer, the best I can find so far is that the combination of your credit card and your regular insurance can lower your risk sometimes totally but it may leave you with some residual exposure.
When you try to use your credit card to cover collision damage to a rental car, the rental agent may lie to you about the coverage your card provides. I recently received e-mails from two readers reporting the same scam at two different rental companies: Agents told them that although their cards covered damage to the vehicle, they didn't cover the additional "loss of use" fee the car company would collect for the rental revenue lost while a damaged car was out of service.

Hey, how about those passenger rights, huh? Gosh, talk about a case of "man bites dog. How few rights the traveling public has is hardly news anymore. But you really need to do a double take when the story is about something going right for travelers. So when the federal Department of Transportation's new "rules" for airlines were unveiled the other week, aimed at protecting passengers from snarky business practices and inhumane travel conditions, the reception was understandably enthusiastic -- at least for its man-bites-dog value.
