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. 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 ...

Most insurance agents are aware that a standard personal auto policy does not cover all rental-car exposures. There's a gap between a renter's responsibility under the rental contract and what an auto policy will pay. About five years ago, rental companies began holding the renter liable for a "diminution of value" charge when a rental car was damaged. Most auto policies cover most of the repairs, but few cover diminution in value. To make a sound decision on transferring or retaining this risk, the renter needs accurate information. Providing that information is one of the primary responsibilities of an insurance agent. The agent who continues to tell clients that an auto policy will cover the majority of the damage to the rental car is misrepresenting his product. Such a statement can...

Before competing, I had signed a three-page waiver and medical release form (read it at indyweek.com) that stated in part "Contestant acknowledges that there are risks of personal injury, illness and possible loss of life, and risks of damage to or loss of personal property, which may result from participating in this contest. Contestant voluntarily enters Kanki Japanese House of Steaks and Sushi Sushi Challenge and assumes all of these risks.
How soon is "immediately?" Moments after I completed swabbing the sushi boat deck, I ran to the bathroom and put my face in the sink. I looked up, sweaty and queasy, and thought, "This is the face of a sushi contest winner."
So I emerged victorious, a highly relative term considering basic survival would qualify, and the meal was on the house. I ...
