in Credit cards
Is there a credit card that gives car rental & travel insurance if used to purchase travel tickets and car rental, as well as the 'normal' Sec 75 purchasing cover?

    The only one I'm aware of is the American Express Platinum.

    HSBC Premier current account provides travel insurance but it doesn't include car rental.

    Yes, the American Express Platinum CHARGE Card provides these benefits.  AFAIK, the AmEx platinum credit cards don't.

    The charge cards don't offer S75 protection, though AmEx voluntarily provide similar protection.

    My thanks to Roger and Speedbird. I'll do some research into the Amex you suggest.
    My previous French Credit Agricole Euro bank account offered a Gold Mastercard Debit card that gave these insurance cover for a cost of around 90 Euros per year.  I was hoping that there might be a UK company using Mastercard or Visa that offers the same insurance facility?

    A search of Amex Platinum suggest that the annual charge is £575 which is a little more than I was hoping to pay :-(
