Whether the rental-car company is permitted to immediately charge your credit card for the estimated amount of the damage will depend on the law of the jurisdiction where the rental occurred. I'm sure that it's prohibited in some places, and permitted in others. Some rental-car companies will also work directly with your credit card's insurer; some companies won't.

If your credit-card issuer will not permit an over-limit charge, then a $2,000 charge obviously won't be permitted if your card has just a $750 credit limit.
