When you rent a car, be sure you have insurance that
provides liability protection. According to "Get a Financial
Life" (Simon & Schuster Inc., New York), "If you own an
automobile, your standard auto liability coverage may cover you when
you rent a car. Check to make sure this is the case. If you don't own
a car but you do rent cars, purchase car renter's liability insurance
at the car rental counter." If you rent frequently, it may be
cheaper to purchase a car renter's liability policy from an insurance
company. If you rent while on business for your employer, ask your
employer if it provides insurance while you're renting on the job.
