in Credit cards
:confused:
A friend of mine from work is going on holiday to America in November and has a query. I have told him that I am sure someone will be able to answer his question.

Which credit card if any includes a collision damage waiver if used to rent a car in the USA ?

Any help would be appreciated as he may need to apply for a new credit card.

    UK cards don't offer this benefits. Most US cards offer it to US residents. I don't think there is a sensible way to avoid paying for CDW, but there are companies offering annual CDW policies at reasonable prices which have previously been mentioned on this site.

    CDW is only offered by American cards, most do (All Visa) because the way the hire business is operated there.

    Here CDW is included in the hire rates so it has never been a " carrot" to use in competition between the banks. You could try some of the US firms in the UK, like Citi, Amex or Capital One.
