Sometimes your credit card company can help you cover any damage cover which you may need when you are renting a car in a different country. Always check before you leave though as sometimes they may not cover the excess in the country you are visiting. It is worth giving them a call to discuss your travel arrangements and letting them know when and where you are travelling.
