AmEx UK - car rental benefits in UK
Has anyone successfully made a claim using the car rental benefits of the AmEx Platinum card, for car rental damage in the UK? I have a claim pending and it appears that the cover is supposed to be for car rental abroad and not in the home country of the cardholder (though not explicitly stated in the terms, more implied) - just wondered if anyone had any experience of this?
From what I gather, the benefits listed (such as personal accident injury) in the event of a car accident during a rental is not a separate benefit to the protection already offered from the travel insurance. Same with the theft cover. So if you are not abroad at the time of the incident, and therefore aren't covered by the travel insurance policy in the first place, the rental benefits don't seem to apply to you.
