Not to hijack but a few questions on a related matter. My D is going to need to rent a car for a couple of days to attend a required event at her new school. She is also under 25 so I know we will have to pay extra. Normally when I rent a car I don’t buy the extra insurance. I pay with my American express and I also have excellent car insurance on my personal vehicles. I was planning on advising her to purchase the insurance. She is no longer on our car insurance. She has her own auto insurance in another state which she pays for to insure her car. Not sure how her insurance company works for a rental car. She has her own credit card but it is not American Express. Any advice on whether she should pay for the insurance? Also am probably going to go with Enterprise since they are coming in cheapest.
