American Express insurance coverage for cargo van rental or 16 foot U-Haul rental
hello friends,
looking to move some personal furniture and wondering if using the personal amex card to pay for a rental of either of the above vehicles if amex covers for all those crazy insurance costs that the rental firms like to ask for.
do we need to purchase any of the typically offered insurance for either the cargo van or 16 foot box truck from U-Haul?
many thanks
