Who Pays for Injuries in a Rental Car Crash?

Many rental car companies don’t tell you (except in the fine print) that you have to actually purchase their insurance package in order to be fully covered. Without purchasing their insurance, you have to use your own policy, which may not have rental car coverage. This can lead to unique complications in some cases.
