Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it would be a good idea to use my credit cards rental insurance coverage when I rent a car, or buy the rental cars insurance coverage?
I had read some ones post about getting a special insurance because if you got in an accident they could take you to jail, but if you had that insurance they would put you in a hotel until they decided the outcome. unfortunately I cant find that same posting again.
I was in the DR in Feb, didn't get any insurance, then realized how crazy the roads can be. Lucky nothing happened.
I'm going to be back in the DR a few days from now, and just want to make sure I cover my bases this time.
thanks ahead for any info.

it seems if you book insurance through priceline.com they will give you insurance for $9 a day, which im guessing is probably the same as a credit cards options that would basically be free.
$22 a day from avis just for the cdw. wow! for 10+ days thats almost the rental price of the car.
havent found a thing on the avis web site about the c de c. probably will have to ask in person.
wish i could use my credit card insurance and add on extras through the company but bet thats imposible from either side.
