Does your Australian Credit Card offer complimentary car rental "excess" insurance?

Canstar Research reviewed Australian Credit Cards listed on our database, and found that there are a number of companies that do offer complimentary rental car excess cover with their cards.

Bear in mind that some of these providers offer complimentary rental vehicle excess cover for overseas travel only.

It’s also important to remember that there are eligibility criteria that have to be met for this cover to kick in, which could include things such as charging all or part of travel costs to the card.

Before committing to any particular credit card, check upfront with your provider and read the Target Market Determination (TMD), Key Facts Sheet and other important policy documents so you understand details about any relevant car excess cover.
