Will be picking up a rental car at Charles de Gaulle Airport and driving to Mont Saint Michel, staying over night on the island and then heading out for the Loire Valley. I am confused by which additional insurance to buy. Any suggestions? Thanks, Melissa

If the credit card you'll be using to pay for the rental provides insurance coverage in France, you can save money by declining the CDW. However, in an accident you will be responsible for the deductible portion, if any.
