Auto rental optional insurance

I often do not take the optional car-rental insurance, costs me more
money....

that's ok as long as you don't have anything unplanned happen...

I was on vacation was driving a long and hit a birdge in Mendocino County
along the 101 in Northern California had to pay National Car Rental $6000
for the car and the county to repair the bridge....for some unknown reason
my insurance refused to cover...

I hate insurance companies.. they take your money but when you need them,
the often weasel out or find some disclaimer to wave at you

That's the purpose of insurance!

I think for $6000 you could do better than 'unknown reason'

This brings up 2 points:

(1)what possible reason could your insurance company have for not paying??

(2)more importantly, that's when it's good to have a gold Visa or
Mastercard-----while their rental coverage is secondary in the US to your
own insurance policy...since your own policy didn't/wouldn't pay, you could
then get the coverage with your credit card company to handle the $6000

It's been a while since I saw a credit card that did *not* provide
this coverage. I suppose they are out there, but it seems that even
plain, non-Gold cards come with auto rental insurance these days.

Try looking at any UK credit card.
