Sorry ffor the newbie question as it’s probably been asked 50 times:
The link

I’m going to rent a car in Dublin in September using AVIS. I’m convinced I can master the stick shift, but after reading all the posts and still being a little nervous, am still unsure about the INSURANCE.
Which of the below do I need? Will my Gold Mastercard (or GOLD AMEX) cover any of this? My current USAA auto coverage? My homeowners? Please help as I am still confused. I’d like to save on the costs listed below:
6 Day Base Rate:
78.00
Total Tax ( 13.500% )
