If you have liabilitycoverage on your own car, it will generally also apply to the rental car if the rental can be considered a "temporary substitute vehicle" (such as if you are on vacation or if your car was damages and is being repaired). However, if you do not otherwise have coverage, the rental car company will require you to obtain it, either through it or by some other means.

If you already have full coverage auto insurance, there is no need to purchase additional insurance for your rental car. The only event where you would need the insurance from EZ Car Rental, was if you were to get into an accident, they would cover the cost of the time lost for the rental.
