Be sure to read all the fine print !
My car insurance only covers rental cars in Canada & USA.
Even the premium credit card coverage has limitations -
example Ireland is excluded as are a few other countries.

In Italy, the rental company told me by law I had to have the insurance.
Different rental companies, different airports so it may be true.

I had to buy the insurance in New Zealand too. I think it is just that
they don't want to screw with foreign companies even if you were
covered ... and you probably aren't.
When we are on vacation I usually buy the insurance. It seems like a
lot of money but what is a few hundred bucks on a $10,000 vacation
just so you have one less thing to worry about.



In Ireland - if you refuse their expensive insurance - they
demand a credit card swipe for ~ the value of the car ..
I think it was ~ $ 10,000. dollars
