It is unlikely that other cards would cover anything - but you never know what's buried in that fine print. It's worth an hour to look considering how much is involved here (I once had a dental bill that I thought unlikely to be covered by my medical insurance policy - but it turned out it was - saved me a bundle). Reading insurance policies is boring - but sometimes profitable .
Also - the OP should read his auto insurance policy to see if perhaps there's any coverage there. Robyn

Of course they are trying to take him for a ride. That is the nature of car rental companies (pun intended).
Puns aside, many car rental companies have determined that the money is not in renting, but in "recovering" for damages to their vehicles that may or may not have actually been incurred. Many renters will not fight such claims and so the companies make money.
Anybody know what the chargeback law is in Germany?
