I had a little disagreement with a palm tree in our rental car while we were on vacation in Hawaii. First Day – what a bummer! Then I remembered that if you rent a car with a Platinum VISA card , they have extra insurance coverage that is automatically included. The application is conveniently online. I had to FAX in the paperwork from the rental agency and my primary insurance. Within 2 weeks, I had a check that covered my deductible, and the “loss of use” charges from the rental company, and $100 of their admin fees.
This coverage would work for business travel, too, and every little bit helps the bottom line for any business.
