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?

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.

That statement is a flat-out lie. When you rent a car, you're on the hook for any damage done to that car during your rental, plus loss of use, so you have to find some way to cover your risk. Rental companies, of course, are happy to sell "collision damage waiver" (CDW) or "loss and damage waiver" (LDW) essentially ...

On my current trip, I found that opaque sites often provide the best hotel and rental car prices, but not always. And no matter how often I travel, I almost always find some surprises. My trip involved a hectic different-place-every-night itinerary, so I had plenty of tries. Hotels. Boston was my first overnight hotel stop, and the opaque sites failed me completely. Hotwire's lowest price for any of the districts I could use started at more than $300 a night, and I had no intention of paying $300 a night for a hotel room in Boston.
