It's possible that your credit card may offer free or discounted rental car insurance if you rent the car with their card. Before purchasing rental insurance you should call up your agent or check your policy to make sure that your insurance is sufficient. If you rent a car that's substantially more valuable than the car your policy covers then you may need it, but there's usually no reason to pay more than a few dollars per day. Check your policy and your credit card company first

The usual price, to average it is about 10 dollars. The rental insurance is bought through the rental agency and does not go through your insurance. The price of the insurance varies between rental companies and the age of the renter. Some regular insurance companies offer autmatic rental car insruance that will cover you when you decide to rent a vehicle from a rent a car facility

Which auto insurance companies write non-owner liability for a rental car?

Rental CarNone. No insurance company will write you a policy for the specific purpose of renting a car. You have to buy the insurance through the rental car company. That's why they offer it. AnswerYes, but remember this is liability. Some policies cover you no matter the vehicle and some only provide liability. This means you cover OTHER vehicles in case of accident, not the rental. Do yourself a favor and purchase damage waiver insurance, in case you crash the car or a tree falls on it and you don't wind up paying for a car you don't own.
