Thank you in advance. Call Citibank and ask them to explain to you how this works exactly. Your State Farm policy combined with your card should cover your butt, but there were some real weirdnesses a couple of years ago with American Express, so some paranoia is justified. Of course, the rental people may try to sell you the option, preying on your lack of knowledge. In my experience, Enterprise has friendlier and more helpful people than most. >--- >please dont' reply via e-mail, unless you know which >letters to remove from email address.
