RentalShield: Credit Card Liability Verification & Claims Advocacy Service
A white-glove concierge service that (1) verifies a renter's specific credit card's actual third-party liability coverage BEFORE they rent, (2) documents the coverage in writing, and (3) handles claims advocacy if a liability incident occurs—negotiating with card issuers, rental companies, and insurers on the renter's behalf. Renters pay a small upfront fee; the service makes money on contingency/success fees from insurers and card networks for reducing claims friction and liability disputes.

Rental car renters lack clarity on liability insurance coverage and struggle to find credit cards that actually provide third-party liability protectionRenters face confusion and anxiety about whether their credit card rental car insurance covers third-party liability (damage to other vehicles/property), as most cards only cover collision/theft of the rental itself. This gap forces people to either purchase expensive rental company insurance or risk catastrophic out-of-pocket liability, yet finding which cards offer this specific coverage is difficult and time-consuming.
