Hand with money and toy car

Hi, I'm totally new to car rentals (having just turned 21 a few months ago). I'm planning on getting a car from Dollar Car Rentals. I have auto insurance via AAA and I know that if I use a major credit card, there's some coverage there as well.

Am I required to purchase insurance through Dollar, or am I able to use my own? What about the credit card coverage?

Thanks!
This question is in regards to CAR RENTAL insurance, not typical everyday Auto insurance.

Thanks.


If you have an insured car that is parked while you use the rental, The coverage from your parked car will extend to the rental. Most credit cards also provide Collision Damage Waiver insurance if you use the card to pay for the rental. To be sure contact your credit card company and ask. If you have both your own policy and and credit card coverage, you do not need to buy the rental car company insurance

I don't own a car, but I plan on renting one real soon. I was just wondering if its required to have some auto insurance already prior to getting CDW for the rental.

    Rental Car Insurance Advised for Travelers « Auto Insurance News

    Auto insurance experts are advising motorists to purchase additional protection for any rental vehicles they may use during out of town travels. Rising repair costs and increasing prices of spare parts are forcing many rental companies to become stricter when dealing with any damage to company vehicles. Having the proper protection can help drivers avoid paying substantial amounts for repair expenses.

    Specialists also add that the motorists’ problems can even be compounded especially if they are renting vehicles abroad. This can mean not having the same insurance coverage as they did back in the U.S. Experts add that this can pose a problem even for policyholders who have taken out additional rental coverage. With several long holidays coming in the next few months, analysts say that more Americans will take to the roads. They point out that a significant portion of these travelers use rental cars instead of taking their own vehicles, making rental car insurance a primary concern.
