Source: Navy Federal Credit Union card page (navyfederal.org) and the Guide to Benefits (PDF, navyfederal.org). Checked October 29, 2026. This is the cashRewards Visa. The same Navy Federal page also offers cashRewards as a Mastercard, and cashRewards Plus as a Visa Signature or World Mastercard, each with its own guide; benefits differ by version. Limits come from the cashRewards and GO REWARDS Visa guide linked on the page (benefits in effect as of 12/31/24), which lists only Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver and Roadside Dispatch.

Before you rely on this: benefits only apply when you pay the way the terms require (often the full purchase, fare, rental or phone bill on the card), they have exclusions, claim deadlines and documentation rules, and they can change. Your card’s Guide to Benefits is the final word. Not insurance advice.
