With the start of summer just a few weeks away and vaccine distribution in full swing, the open road is calling out to many Americans. A spring or summer road trip is becoming a popular, socially-distanced alternative to flying, and it can be a great way to spend quality time with family or friends.
If this road trip requires a rental car, you’ll want to make sure that you’re covered by either your personal auto insurance policy or by your credit card. Most travel rewards cards come equipped with special car rental insurance which allows you to skip the rental company’s insurance.
Ahead, Select explains how credit card car rental coverage works, and reviews the best credit cards for road trips, with information on the car rental insurance coverage you get with each.
