However, your son should have checked with his credit card carrier before he left. Once he gets to the counter in the U.S. it will not be practical to check. And since he's already left Ireland (since today is Sunday 11/18) that probably won't be helpful information for your son. However, manybe someone else reading this will be helped by this information. Once your son is here he'll be pressured to sign up for every bit of insurance he can buy, whether he needs it or not. Rental car companies make tons of money this way. Many credit card companies will cover insurance requirements if you use their credit card to rent the car.

He'll be completely covered if he asks for total insurance coverage.
