Platinum AMEX car rental coverage is SAME as other AMEX cards

This thread tells me that there is a difference though?

FYI, this thread is about a car rental insurance product add-on that is available to ANY and all AMEX cardholders for a flat per rental charge ($15.95-$24.95 depending on coverage level and/or CA residency)

afaik, the AMEX platinum card offers the SAME standard car rental insurance coverage as every other AMEX card.

Furthermore, NO AMEX card offers complete worldwide coverage. For specific country coverage and exclusions be sure to read the T&Cs for the standard and/or premium car rental products.
