No, you need to rent your car in advance, from a reputable UK company, then you will find all the insurance included at a rate much better than than obtainable locally.





For example, my company is a large ABTA/ATOL bonded UK agency and we provide a basic car, fully insured, all taxes paid, for 14 days for 拢240 UK sterling, 280 EurosIm from ireland and going to orlando on hols.do i need car insurance for my car rental?
As the other respondent wrote, yes. You absolutely must have insurance. Getting in an accident in the states can be extremely costly. The cost of repairing the car is the least of the damage. Personal liability is the most expensive part. In the states people can and do sue for the most trivial personal injuries, such as a broken finger. And unfortunately, these frivolous law suits are most often settled in favor of the demander. Make sure you have at least $500,000 in personal liability insurance, and better yet, make that $1,000,000. And to iterate what the other respondent wrote, see if your insurer in Ireland will insure you in your rental car.Im from ireland and going to orlando on hols.do i need car insurance for my car rental?
Yes.





You can buy it from the rental company but that is usually very expensive.





Best is to use a credit card that offers rental car insurance coverage when you use it to reserve and pay for the rental.





If that's not an option then check with your home insurance to see if they will cover a rental car in the USA - maybe for an extra fee.





If not, check with the auto club:

You do have to have some form of insurance. If you have your own auto policy at home, that should cover you, but call your agent to double check. Otherwise check on your homeowner's policy. You can buy it at the rental desk and it's expensive, but you don't want to be caught without it.
There is no absolutely sure answer for your question.Nevertheless,explorer the resources here http://www.Autoinsurancepro.info/auto-insurance-free.htm might offer you some tips.HOpe it helps.
Just call up your insurance agent and ask if you are covered. If you are not covered here in the US, I would get it from the rental company.
