It all depends on whether the renter signed up for the car rental company's extra insurance coverage at the beginning of the rental.

Car rental "insurance" is not always insurance. There are three types of coverages you can purchase. 1. Damage waiver is for damage to the car itself. It waives the right of the rental company to pursue renter or his/her insurance for damages to the vehicle. 2. Injury/property coverage is for people or items in the car. It covers injury to people inside the car if in an accident or loss of property in the event of break in. 3. Liability covers injury or damage to property if the renter or covered driver is at fault in an accident while driving rental car. The last two are insurance and are underwritten by an insurance company partnered with rental company. Damage waiver is not insurance and all three can be voided if the renter or driver are in violation of rental company policies. All three coverages are charged on a daily basis and can be added/removed at anytime. Most companies require vehicle inspection prior to adding coverages to avoid fraud.
