Protection Benefits
Auto Rental Coverage
This benefit provides reimbursement for damages caused by theft or collision of the Rental Vehicle up to $60,000. Coverage is available worldwide.
You are covered when You use a Covered Card Account and/or redeemable Rewards, to initiate and complete the entire Rental Vehicle transaction. Only You, as the primary renter of the Rental Vehicle, and any additional drivers permitted by the Rental Car Agreement are covered.
What’s Covered?
This benefit covers theft, damage, valid loss-of-use charges imposed and substantiated by the Rental Agency, administrative fees, and reasonable and customary towing charges (due to a covered theft or damage) to the nearest qualified repair facility. No other type of loss is covered. For example, in the event of a collision involving the Rental Vehicle, damage to any other driver’s car, the injury of anyone, or damage to anything is not covered. Rental periods up to thirty-one (31) consecutive days are covered.
How Does This Benefit Work?
Inside the United States and outside the United States (where this benefit is available) the coverage provided is primary. New York Residents, inside the United States coverage is primary unless You have personal automobile insurance in which case it is excess.
How Do You Use This Benefit?
- Use a Covered Card Account and/or redeemable Rewards to initiate and complete the entire Rental Vehicle transaction.
- view the Rental Car Agreement and decline the Rental Agency’s Re collision damage waiver/loss damage waiver (CDW/LDW) option or a similar provision. Accepting the Rental Agency’s CDW/LDW coverage will cancel out this benefit. If the Rental Agency, outside of the United States, will not allow You to decline their CDW/LDW coverage, then this benefit is secondary to the Rental Agency’s CDW/LDW coverage.
- Some countries or Rental Agencies require a letter of coverage. Please check with the Rental Agency before You go. If a letter of coverage is required visit chasecardbenefits.com or call 1-800-350-.
Before driving out of the lot, check the Rental Vehicle for any prior damage and bring any damage You identify to the attention of the Rental Agency.
This benefit is in effect during the time the Rental Vehicle is in Your (or an authorized driver’s) control, and terminates when the Rental Agency reassumes control of the Rental Vehicle.
What Vehicles Are Not Covered?
Certain vehicles are not covered by this benefit, including: exotic vehicles or any vehicle with a dealer or manufacturer’s suggested retail price greater than $125,000, and antique cars (cars over twenty (20) years old or that have not been manufactured for ten (10) years or more), cargo vans, trucks (other than pick-ups), motorcycles, mopeds, motorbikes, limousines and vehicles that are rented with a driver, recreational vehicles, and passenger vans with seating for more than twelve (12) people including the driver.

What Are the Specific Travel and Emergency

The Covered Traveler can also receive assistance arranging medical payments from their personal account. All costs are the Covered Traveler’s responsibility.

All costs are the Covered Traveler’s responsibility.

In the case of a death, arrangements can be made to repatriate the remains. All costs are the Covered Traveler’s responsibility.

These services can also help transport critical documents that they have left at their home or elsewhere. All costs are the Covered Traveler’s responsibility.
Pre-Trip Assistance gives the Covered Traveler information on their destination before they leave, such as ATM locations, currency exchange rates, weather reports, health precautions, necessary immunizations, and required passport visas.
Please note that due to occasional issues such as distance,
location, or time, the service providers are not responsible
for the availability, use, cost, or results of any medical,
legal, transportation, or other services.

laws and regulations.

on services related to international laws on sanctions
before planning the trip. Additionally, no services
will be available in any country or territory where
the existing infrastructure is deemed inadequate by
the service provider to guarantee service. Should the
Covered Traveler have doubt about the availability of
