I wonder if this (AMEX not covering rentals in Italy) is related to what appears to be a mandatory theft protection fee (on least on the quotes I'm getting) on rentals in Italy?

American Express Centurion Card, although the insurance guide has 70+ pages of fine print. Most countries are covered. 250EUR is all you would have to pay in the worst case.

For instance, the Diners Club insurance terms/conditions notes that for New York State residents, "Rental Car Collission/Loss Damage Waiver Insurance (CDW) coverage be limited to excess (or secondary) coverage." (T&C available on their website)

With the reduced accemptance of DC, the cost of DC and lessened benefits of DC I decided top drop after 10+ years. Also my company began providing corporate AMEX cards and refused to pick up the tab for my DC.
