Your own car insurance will only cover a rental car in some cases. It will depend on your current insurance plan. Either way, you can take out insurance for the rental car.

What can a car rental agency do to you if you get in an accident in a rental car?
If you have car insurance, your own policy may cover accidents in rental cars -- check with your insurer. The rental agency will also make available an insurance policy that will specifically cover you in their vehicle, regardless of what your own insurance carrier may cover. Such insurance is worth the cost, in my opinion, if for no other reason than eliminating most of the hassle if you do have an accident. Insurance purchased at the time of rental usually has a deductible, perhaps $250, that may or may not be taken out of your rental deposit. If your insurance carrier does not cover rentals, and you did not purchase insurance from the rental company at the time you rented the car, you may be legally liable for the entire cost of the car's repair

Who provides car rental insurance for 18 year olds in California?
In California you have to be at least 25 years old to rent a car. Insurance companies will not give an 18 year old rental car insurance. If you do find a rental car company that will allow you to rent a car from them, the insurance you have on your own vehicle will cover the rental car as well.
Will my liability insurance be sufficient for car rentals?
In general this depends upon the value of your current car. If you have a new car that's approximately the same value as the car you are renting then your car insurance is usually sufficient. If your own car is significantly less valuable than the rental then your own insurance will probably be insufficient and you should get more coverage on the rental. Since the Rental Agency has your credit card number and might potentially charge you for anything your insurance didn't cover you should do your research. It's usually best to have your own insurance ammended to cover rental cars.

Can i get car insurance if you no longer have car but drive rental cars?
Rental Car InsuranceIf you do not own a car and need insurance for a Rental Car, You will need to Buy the Insurance that the Rental car Company offers with your rental. Do Not buy Non-Owners Insurance with expectations of it covering a Rental Car, It will Not. Many people have tried this and regreted it. Non owners policies are for unplanned, unexpected usage of an automobile.A rental car necessitates both a plan and an expectation of usage, thereby voiding all coverage under the nonowners policy.Non Owners insurance would not cover you in a Rented Vehicle nor would it cover anyone you hit. The insurance company would simply deny coverage for the claim. It would be the same as Driving "Un-insured". You will be left with Traffic tickets for driving without the appropriate insurance and will be held personally liable for all damages.
