Ti have peace of mind I would take full insurance (although I get if from my AmEx card). They will insist you take insurance for their car - but there will be a deductible.

I have rented with SIXT in France and Spain and I use my Amex card which has the automatic prmium insurance pan tied to it. You have to sign up for it with AX. On my last trip the car was broken into and AX handled everything.
I used to take full insurance (usually with AutoEurope) for "peace of mind". But then a phone rep from AutoEurope actually talked me out of it once renting a car in the UK asking me "doesn't your credit card take care of all that?" Indeed it does. But the kicker is that sure enough, that trip we totaled the car in a wreck! If we had taken the "full insurance" from AutoEurope we still would have had a deductible of several hundred dollars and various other items would not have been covered -- like removal and "storage" of the wrecked car", transporting us to our next destination, and other matters. The bottom line was that our credit card paid every penny of expence, but the "full insurance" from the rental car would have still cost nearly a thousand dollars PLUS the cost of the insurance itself! bus tour of washington dc And to get your credit card to pay you MUST DECLINE all optional insurance with the rental car company. Now I know, to take ONLY required bus tour of washington dc insurance and leave the rest to my credit card.
Insurance requirements differ depending on where you are from (citizenship), not just the type of credit card you use. This is determined by international insurance coverage agreements and has nothing to do with the rental car companies. We use Amex Platinum because we are fully covered at no additional expense, but you may find that regardless of the rental car company you choose, you'll be required to have the basic CDW.
If you are worried, and want to be completely covered, with no deductible, then take the zero deductible insurance the rental car company offers. The only problem with that option is that it will generally double the cost of the rental.
My credit cards do not have car insurance. (Insurance through Amex only seems to work for US residents, not Canadians) bus tour of washington dc In 2008 I had the 'full insurance' option through AutoEurope for a very reasonable price as a special.
Good point about other country's credit cards not having the same insurance coverage that US cards generally have.

I looked bus tour of washington dc at your link and I didn't see anything that my credit card doesn't already cover -- no deductible, etc. It does say "up to $100,000 theft and damage, which sounds very high, but I''m not in the habit or renting cars that are worth that much. My other credit card policy fully covers any rental car I'd be driving. I'd be asking American Express what they are leaving out when they tell me that my card would also cover all those things. Or are they just looking for an extra $24.95 for coverage they are already providing?
It also seems like one of those plans credit cards are always trying to sell -- that protects you from various types of fraud on your card -- but as far as I can tell, credit cards come with the basic same fraud protection automatically.
