Do Mastercard credit cards include rental car coverage?
All of my credit cards are Mastercards. Do they all have rental car coverage as a benefit?
Emily Maracle · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
To use Mastercard’s rental car coverage, you need to decline the rental car company’s collision damage waiver (CDW) insurance.
You also need to pay for the entire rental on your Mastercard. For most cards, the rental cannot exceed 15 days although some cards provide coverage for up to 30 days.
Mastercard’s coverage will pay for damage or theft that occurs while you are renting the vehicle. It also cover towing and roadside assistance.
If you have
car insurance
currently, Mastercard’s rental insurance is secondary. Mastercard will reimburse you for your deductible for collision insurance
or comprehensive insurance
. If you don’t have car insurance
, Mastercard’s coverage will be your primary coverage though you may want to consider the rental car company’s liability coverage.You need car insurance in most of the USA in order to drive legally. If you aren’t insured at all you can remedy that fast with the
