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.
