Rental Car

- Travel and Emergency Assistance
Connects you to legal, medical, and travel referral services when you're away from home on a covered trip. Call the assistance hotline on your card to be directed to local providers. Note that costs for actual services are your responsibility — the benefit covers the referral, not the bill.
