But despite that, I tend to take the advice of others, waive the CDW and put the car rental insurance onto a credit card. The ‘best’ card for this seemed to be the Chase Sapphire Preferred because it offers Primary rather than Secondary coverage. This means that the first payment comes from Chase in a claim, and if the coverage is sufficient then your insurance company never dips its hand in its pocket, and therefore (I think) your premium isn’t hit by the claim.

After giving out all the details of the claim to the rep on the phone they came at me with this zinger: I’m required to tell you that in the state of New York we will not cover you for any claims of liability for damage to the property of others.
