This is covered in the Guide to Benefits for the card, page 3: "You are covered when Your name is embossed on an eligible card issued in the United States, and You use Your credit card Account and/ or rewards programs associated with Your Account to initiate and complete Your entire car rental transaction."

Also, does chase cover a driver like a spouse even if they aren't an authorized user?
Again quoting from the Guide to Benefits (the very next sentence): "Only You, as the primary renter of the vehicle, and any additional drivers permitted by the Rental Car Agreement are covered."

Some rental car companies permit spouses to drive the car even if the spouse is not explicitly listed as an additional driver. You'll need to check the terms of the company you're using.
