Will the collision coverage from my credit card company apply to my rental car if I don't have collision coverage on my regular auto policy?

I am renting a car this weekend to drive out of state. My personal car is a hunk of junk and I only carry liability coverage on it. I know my Visa card will pay for collision coverage for the rental, but is that still the case if my current auto policy doesn't have collision?
