That only covers the actual rental car. I have AAA insurance and carry both full coverage and liability. Speaking to them, it appears that if I was at fault, the AMEX insurance would deal with the rental car and my AAA insurance would cover the other vehicle and be the primary for medical for both. My understanding is that my spouse would be covered exactly the same as long as she is listed on the rental agreement as well. Does this all sound correct?

Also, I have numerous cards with benefits and I’m trying to figure out what my best route would be. I would love any input as to what you would do and why. I simply don’t look at the rental stuff often on my cards. Thanks in advance!

Cards I have:

• Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select
• Citi Thank You Preferred
• AMEX- Blue Cash Everyday
• Capital One World
• Chase Freedom
• Chase Freedom Unlimited
• Wells Fargo Cash Wise
• Barclay Cashforward
• Barclay Ring
• Capital One Quicksilver
• Bank of America- BankAmericard (I also have a few other pretty standard cards)
• Chase (Slate, Disney, Amazon, AARP)
