there are so many exclusions and exceptions that i would be hesitant on solely relying on a cc policy. also, most cc policys that i've read specifically say that their coverage is secondary to the primary insurance.Originally posted by RU#1fan:

Also most cc ( AMEX, Visa) will cover basic liability on car rentals if use their card for the rental.
Wouldn't it be better to actually call your credit card company and your insurance company and get a definate answer instead of asking on a college football messgae board and get answers from anonymous people that might not be accurate?Originally posted by fg7321:
Guys do i need to take the rental car insurance in Turks and Caicos or will my credit card and Personal Policy work?
I will never understand those that take more time asking strangers for personal advice not knowing their personal situation vs taking less time by going directly to those that do have access to their info/policy (insurance company/cc co.pant).Originally posted by rutgersal:
You would do best to call your own insurance carrier and ask them. No one here knows what your policy covers.
In some countries, they won't rent to you without it. You want to rent a car you get a temporary driver's license and insurance and then they rent to you. This isn't the USA.Originally posted by Ole Cabbagehead:
I would just get no insurance and hope for the best. Seriously. Just be careful.
In those countries, I would get the minimum insurance they permitted.Originally posted by rurichdog:
