As of 2/12/14: We've had quite a few "Hey, come use this AWD. It's great" type of posts. When the AWD doesn't give a good discount, but is only posted to try to get renters to use the AWD of someone so the poster can earn free days from their Avis Corporate account. From here out, please put the company/trade group/etc that's associated with the AWD or we'll delete the post to keep it on-topic here.

I think not having liability is a problem since your U.S. car insurance company doesn't act as primary insurance once you drive outside the country. That would mean you're driving without insurance in AUS and I think our VISA cards only offer Collision -- CDW. This is good to know -- if the savings is coming from exlcusions of insurance coverage that we need to purchase back...

I just got off the phone with VISA benefits -- the agent told me that Liability is something we need to purchase separately from AVIS if we're renting internationally. In the VISA benefits package it says to decline CDW/LDW but she said the LDW doesn't stand for liability, it stands for Loss Damage Waiver. She said that the words Collision and Loss are used interchangeably and to not confuse Loss with Liability which is separate.
So, i guess I need to contact AVIS since my quote also says that Liability was "declined"...

No insurance?
So I just talked to my insurance guy and he said that no company except USAA for the military provides liability insurance while driving outside the US or Canada. His understanding is that platinum cards provide no liability insurance either.
So it seems that every time I've rented a car internationally in the last 10 years I've been driving without insurance.
Now I'm looking at the Avis site and I don't even see any liability insurance offered? Anyone know what the deal is?

I think (but don't know) that may be the case in other EU countries.

I've been checking some other rental companies and at least one states that the rental includes mandatory liabilty insurance. I assume that if its mandatory and included at one, its mandatory and included at all.
Looks like I'll just book with the D005927 AWD and assume it includes liability coverage.

I have searched the forums but couldn't find an answer to my question:
I do not own a car, so I don't have any kind of insurance, yet I have a credit card that entitles me to free CDW/LDW whenever I rent a car. When I rent a car in the US - am I covered for liability insurance by the renting company?
