Hi all,

Longtime no here but anyway.

My sister is resident in the US but travels here frequently and has come across issues with her credit card and cover for renting a car.

Upshot is that she has to pay big time for CDW. Is there anyway out of paying this. Seems American CCs dont have cover.

I'll probably have to be main driver and pay for her as a named driver but don't really want to.

She used to have access to a family car previous.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Can she buy a yearly policy like the car hire excess insurance you can get?
 
She could buy her own CDW policy, e.g. from this outfit

but I doubt if she can get out of it by just not having it.
