If I have a personal auto policy with higher collision limits, wouldn’t the personal policy kick in, after the primary $60,000 chase benefit?

This might only be a POTENTIAL issue for those without collision, or “full” coverage on their vehicles.

Most people don’t want to make a claim on their personal insurance and raise their rates.

I thought the limit was changed to $75,000 but I guess I misread for the CSP. The problem is that even your average 3-row SUV can exceed $60,000 in value these days (yes, that might be a fully loaded model, but you sometimes encounter these on the rental lot). Add in tariffs and more “everyday” vehicles might exceed that limit. Guess I’ll have to switch to an AMEX and their paid Premium Car Rental protection and forego UR points if I’m concerned.

The trick is to only get a in a fender-bender; you know, like, don’t ‘total’ the SUV!

And hope nobody else does that for you (i.e. rear-ending you or running into you)

Two places to look:
This is about the total they’ll pay ($60,000).
There’s another section describing which vehicles are covered. In the case of CSR, it’s most passenger vehicles with an MSRP under $125,000, but many cards’ CDW prohibits anything they deem luxury or exotic, so they might disqualify a $45,000 Tesla or BMW.
