Best for a U.S. rental: A card that offers primary insurance coverage
If there's one thing travel and auto rental experts agree on, it's this: Use a card that offers primary coverage if you have one. Then, if you damage or wreck your rental car, you won't have to file a claim with your auto insurance. "That alone can save you a tremendous amount of money in the long term, because you avoid any chance of your premiums going up from a claim," Weinberg says.

Fortunately, more cards are offering primary coverage. The following cards, as of October 2015, offer primary coverage, and should be your first choice when renting a car in the U.S.:
• United MileagePlus Explorer and MileagePlus Club.
• Fairmont Visa Signature.
• Discover Escape.
• J.P. Morgan Palladium card.
• Ritz Carlton Visa Signature.
• Chase Sapphire Preferred.
• Many rewards business cards (Most require that your rental is for business use for the coverage to apply)

Cards that offer primary such as the CSP, offer them in the US only? Or worldwide?
