Does this World Mastercard include Car Rental Insurance liability coverage?
Hi Dave,
The CIBC Costco World Mastercard does not offer rental car insurance or liability coverage.
Yes it does this is their statement “Car rental insurance
Pays for covered physical damage and theft of a rental vehicle when an eligible Mastercard is used to pay for the rental transaction. Not available on all World products.*”
Wilson, can you cite where you see this? Rental vehicle insurance is not listed on their website and if you search their insurance certificate there is no mention of rental vehicle coverage or the text you mentioned.
