Protect Your Bubble Car Rental Insurance

jdbs3

I'm renting a car in Europe for 30+ days so my credit car cannot be used to cover the CDW, and AMEX Premium Car Rental Protection is not offered in my state.

I've read about Protect Your Bubble and did a google search for complaints or scams, but have not really found anything specific to car rental.

Does anyone have any input on using them for car rental insurance? What I don't want to to spend hundreds of dollars, and, if something happens, be dealing with a company that is hard to work with.

thanks,

Are you absolutely sure that the CDW isn't included in the standard rental charge? It isn't usual to have to take out separate car rental insurance in Europe except, perhaps, to protect yourself from a high excess (deductable.)

RE: Are you absolutely sure that the CDW isn't included in the standard rental charge?

Yes!

The basic (best) rate (where I decline CDW) is ~$300 less than the inclusive rate that includes the 850 euro deductible. I am renting from Europcar via Kemwel. They do not sell a $0 deductible rider.

So my choices are go with the inclusive rate with the high deductible, or go with Protect Your Bubble for ~$47 more, but a $0 deductible.

Thus my interest in finding out more on this company and peoples experience with using them for car rental.

thanks!
