Will the collision coverage from my credit card company apply to my rental car if I don't have collision coverage on my regular auto policy?

I am renting a car this weekend to drive out of state. My personal car is a hunk of junk and I only carry liability coverage on it. I know my Visa card will pay for collision coverage for the rental, but is that still the case if my current auto policy doesn't have collision?

How many Ford Mavericks were sold in 2022?

My 6 year old son loves trucks, and he’s helping some of the older students at school with a big, truck-related math project. He came flying into the house today like a bat out of hell, demanding to know how many Ford Mavericks were produced in 2022. Since we’ve implemented Mindful Mondays at home, the kids aren’t allowed any screen time Mondays after school. So I told him I’d get the answer for him when he went to bed.
