Some cards like Diners Club do and it can save you the hassle. Something else to consider is whether your credit card offers insurance on rental cars.

We're heading to Connecticut in two weeks to visit family -- I wanted to rent a car with four wheel drive due to the lovely storms the Northeast has been getting -- they're like three times the price of a regular car! And I really don't want to rent a sub-compact to drive around in winter storms! WrapAroundSam -- I too have been getting those checks from my credit card company and send them straight to the shredder in the fears that someone else will deposit it! Yikes!

We received a "free" $20 check today from our credit card company. They made a huge deal out of the free $20 because of our wonderful credit rating. Read the fine print, if I had deposited this "free" $20, I was signing up for a lifetime of credit card protection at a paltry $20 per month. First month free of course. It really boils down to you almost have to be a lawyer or have one on retention to do most common tasks like renting a car. I could go on but I think I'll do it on my own blog.
