Insurance advice

I will be traveling for around 3 weeksgreece: in Athens then onwards to karpathos and rhodes. I will be renting a car for day trips in both islands and probably a day trip to delphi (although i might take the bus). Do you recommend i but travelers insurance that covers rental cars or should i buy the insurance when from the car rental agencies?

Any advice is appreciated. Also, i have heard it is better to drive to delphi yourself than take the tour bus because you can avoid the crowds a bit more but I'm not sure. Any advice about which agencies are safest to use and if i should book well in advance would also be welcome

Although I have great car insurance in the US, and am covered by credit card insurance as well, I prefer to get the rental company's policy. Costs more, but I don't want the hassle of quotes, paying then hoping for reimbursement, and post trip issues with correspondence that will not end.

Yes I'm from the USA. O don't think i have a free credit card insurance. Was thinking of getting a "travel insurance" for medical etc but some have rental car options so was trying to decide which was more economic.
