The Citi Double Cash Card rental car insurance was one of the benefits cancelled by Citi in September 2019. Most Citi cards no longer offer it.

The good news is, you have other options. The Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card and Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card both have rental car insurance covering collision damage and theft. You have to make the full rental purchase with the cards and decline any extra insurance offered by the rental company for the cards' insurance to work. Just call Capital One customer service if you want to find out more information on the Capital One Quicksilver rental car insurance. For Chase Sapphire Preferred, take a look at Chase's Guide to Benefits, or just call Chase at (888) 320-9961.
