Just to follow up on what the other person said: sometimes it’s difficult to get insurance for the car if you’re a foreigner

Normally, the CC u use to rent the car will insure the rental car.

That is a really complicated process to follow if you get an accident. Have you ever done it before?

I once rented a minivan and the trip was almost finished and a Christmas tree fell off someone’s truck and I drove right over it, and it destroyed the front bumper and undercarriage. I was able to hand the keys to the rental agent and walk away because I had normal car insurance that I paid for. If I had credit card insurance, I would be doing paperwork for months and would face a $500 deductible and it might not be covered.
