Considering that people often pay $10/day for the rental company's overpriced
insurance, it doesn't seem very hefty to me.

If one has a gold card or better from the credit card company, that includes
insurance for the collision damage waiver portion of rental company insurance.

For USA cardholders and rentals in USA, perhaps. There's a whole bunch
of people for whom neither applies.
