Longer term car options?

i suggest asking Uber before, but in the app it says that they will take you.

I have now started planning our trip. I have found car rental prices very reasonable via Expedia, Kayak, etc. A compact for 3 weeks for $50, but $450 once you add on all their insurances. And there are lots of offers like this. So my question is what happens when I say that my Chase Sapphire Credit Card covers all insurance as primary, so just charge me the $50 please?

Great question Richard - I am wondering about the same thing. My AmEx has interntional car insurance and I am looking for about a month rental in March. If we individually find something out, let's post it here.
I'm glad to see this IL forum - right now it's a nice small group!

I would go to the credit card company and ask. Heresay is just not worth mistakes.

Hi IL Family,
I have ordered the Big IL Book...for now though, I need a little guidance on Portugal, please. My dream is seaside on a mountaintop...Best overall weather inPortugal for asthma.

Hi JOANCHAMBERLAIN14 you've posted your Portugal question in the Panama section by mistake. Do go and post it in the Portugal section in case there's another member who can answer your specific question about asthma. Perhaps you should also try reaching out to a medical provider in Portugal, there are resources listed at https://www.mobidoctor.eu/blog/healthcare-in-portugal-for-travellers-and-tourists, perhaps they can help.

Everyone - my experience in Panama is that big chain car rental companies like Avis, National, etc, will insist on your paying for the basic insurance no matter what credit card or other coverage you have. Small regional outfits like Trinity or Coronado Car Rental, mentioned in my post above, often have the best prices even with basic insurance, though cars are, in my experience, older (but get the job done)
Best,
