You must reserve and charge the rental in full on your covered Booking.com Genius Rewards Visa Signature® Credit Card and decline the Collision or Loss Damage Waiver offered by the rental agency. The name embossed on the card must be listed as the primary renter on the rental agreement and all authorized drivers must be listed on the rental agreement. You must also follow all of the terms and conditions of the rental agreement.
