That is my understanding. However, remember that the card only covers damage to the rental car. If someone is injured, or there is damage to someone else's property (such as their car), you may still be responsible for those expenses. In most states the rental car company will bear some of this responsibility as owner of the vehicle, but there is variation and in your place I would want to understand the "worst case" scenario and what it would cost to insure against it.
