No. The fine print of credit cards states that they do not cover rentals beyond a few days. Furthermore, our insurance is a blanket policy that covers all vehicles so we cannot remove individual vehicles.
If you incur any damage on the vehicle, we will send you an invoice to pay. Please follow up with your credit card company to verify your coverage and reimbursement. Once you've paid for the damage, you can submit a claim with your credit card company to process and reimburse you for the bill. For details, and all matters of reimbursement on invoices paid for by credit card, you must refer to your credit card provider.
