This is optional of course but can increase the total hire rate a great deal.

On my way to my destination a piece of debris flew off the road and hit the car. I thought I would be fine since I had bought the DLW but they neglected to tell me about the deductible that cost me an additional $300 and it says absolutely nothing about deductibles in the contract. Enterprise has a better policy with no deductibles even though their rental rates are a bit higher.

I don't own a car so I don't carry any kind of liability coverage. Here in California, as I imagine is true elsewhere, all cars have to carry minimum liability insurance. Does that include rentals? Of course, the rental agent at the counter always says "no," and I even tried contacting the state, but didn't get anywhere. If I rent a car and decline all coverage, nobody bothers to make sure that I carry liability. In Nevada they did ask for proof of liability coverage. Does this mean that the cars in California ARE insured for liability? I am wondering about the liability coverage for rentals. I don’t own a car so I don’t carry any kind of liability coverage.
