Just called to see if my Amex card covered our car insurance in Bonaire.

'Glad I caught this post - I've been meaning to call AMEX on this issue - so I did. When I enrolled in my "Blue" card a couple years ago, I carefully read the details & noticed that the built in rental car coverage does NOT include pick-ups - which is obviously a problem on Bonaire. So I asked about the "premium" upgrade - the $24.95 deal. It gets applied to your bill each time you rent a car, & pulls in MANY other benefits besides including pick-ups. Like... personal property in the truck to $10,000. Not that I will change my pragmatic practice of keeping anything of value out of theives' temptation, but it's good to know it will cover spare tires, batteries, etc. They stipulate though, you must specifically deny the built damage coverage that some lodging packages are giving you w/ their included truck rental program - 'cause AMEX wants to be primary (& NO deductible!)

The problem I found with the Amex insurance was it didn't cover someone else's car if I am at fault. You may want to check on that.

***Mike*** You're correct. That's why you should have an umbrella policy endorsed onto your homeowners policy.

Just adding my two cents to Corey’s…

Accident Forgiveness coverage can keep your already cheaper car insurance from being increased to high rates in the event of an at-fault accident and for the replacement of your car. When involved in an at-fault accident, accident forgiveness protects your driving record within the insurance company’s rating system and keeps your car cheaper insurance women and men.
