Credit card insurance have limits on how long of a rental they will cover for.
My rental was covered by my credit card but I wasn't going file a claim on the rim damage as I know I didn't damage it.
Interestingly enough, on this very same rental, there was damage which I was responsible for as it occur when vehicle was in my possession (someone broke a front panel under the headlights when parked overnight at Hyatt Koln). Filed police and Sixt damage report the morning after. After four weeks I emailed Sixt asking them to send me a demand letter so I can file with my credit card to which they replied they considered the matter closed.
So for the damage I was responsible for they decided not to pursue and for the damage I was not responsible for, they made a claim for. Go figure.
