Also, I've been concerned that the coupon may negate the credit card insurance benefit, which would make them less attractive.
The e-voucher you get for car rental says it cannot be combined with other discounts. However, since it is effectively 50% off, it is likely better than whatever else you may find. Obviously, YMMV.
My personal auto insurance covers me for rentals, so I haven't really thought about the CDW from the credit card.
