Keep in mind that most CC's offer only SECONDARY insurance, which means you will have to put a claim into your own insurance company, therefore running the risk of higher rates for a few years. Also double check because rental car companies will charge "down time" or loss of use charges if the car needs repairs. If only renting for a week or less, it may make better sense to purchased the insurance through the rental company.
