    Overseas Car Rental Insurance

    We're renting a car in Canada for about 6 weeks. In the past we've had to pay the rental company's insurance rates, which really add up over 6 weeks. Has anyone heard of insurance companies here that will cover overseas rentals?

    We used to assume that our visa platinum covered the rental, but found out after driving around for a month that it didn't and we were uninsured the whole time. ouch!

    I know visa and mastercard "premier" card covers insurance, if you have that one.
