You will typically be held liable - not a good idea. With no insurance, I highly recommend purchasing the Liability insurance supplement at a bare minimum from the company so if something happened you will not incur such a financial hardship. Not worth the risk in today's sue happy society. I also recommend the LDW or CDW coverage to avoid hassles such as upfront payments, inadequate coverage from credit cards (they are almost always secondary and never in full) and preventing the company suing you for damages.

If you already have full coverage auto insurance, there is no need to purchase additional insurance for your rental car.

That is probably a violation of your rental car contract and you can get in a lot of trouble for it, especially if something happens to the car.

You only get a rental if your policy specifies that you chose to pay extra to have rental car coverage. Having collision coverage is not the same thing as having rental. Collision coverage just covers the repairs to your vehicle. If you are not at fault for the accident, the other person's insurance will provide you with a rental car.
