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. If you don't purchase their insurance and get into an accident, you will have to pay for the days they are out money for not being able to rent the car out.

What if you have an accident without car insurance in a rental car?
you can't get a car from a rental agency without first purchasing rentals insurance. That's not true. You have the option to deny insurance coverage provided by the rental company (that YOU pay extra for) when you get a rental, if you so choose. There is no policy (at least in the US) that states you have to provide insurance or accept the insurance they offer. However, the specific company may have a policy rider that states you must PROVE that you HAVE FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE in order to rent their cars if you deny their extra-cost insurance coverage. But there is no "law" that says you have to have buy their insurance in order to rent from a car rental agency. You can look at rental-car insurance in one of two ways: as a rip-off, or, as a hassle free way to wash your hands of ANY damage responsibility to the vehicle, if you have extra money to throw away. Rental insurance is really offered to renters as an extra, in order to make money for the company. And most companies push the counter agents to sell all the add-ons, insurance, etc. by giving them commission for what and how much of it they sell to their customers. Don't let them push you into anything you don't want. And if they do, walk-away and find another rental agency. ** Always check with your insurance company and be certain that your current auto insurance DOES cover you completely, while you're in a rental car. You may not be covered if your personal auto policy only has the minimum coverage required by law in your state. In that case, you might want to consider the additional coverage. But talk to your agent FIRST. If you have a car and you have full coverage, your own insurance will usually cover you in ANY car that you drive. A rental, a friends, etc. If you have a wreck in a rental that is covered under your personal coverage, you would have to pay deductible and that's all. If you wreck a rental and you have no insurance of your own, and you didn't take the car rental company's insurance, then you're screwed and totally responsible for ALL of the damage to that rental vehicle. Also - some credit cards will cover insurance or damage if you rent a car with their card, but again, you need to check with the credit card issuer FIRST before you make the assumption.

Does Your Policy Include Car Rental Insurance?
Not every insurance policy extends its coverage to car rentals. This is especially true if the rental is out of state or out of the country. Always read the fine print on your insurance policy to determine if car rental insurance is included. If it isn't, you may need a rider to get it included. If this changes your costs significantly, you can investigate the cost at individual rental companies. Or, wait to buy extended coverage until you must rent a car.
