What insurance options do I have when I plan on renting a car for a long-term situation?
I have been living in Australia for the past 20 years and will be returning to Pennsylvania soon. I plan on renting a car for several months since I am not sure what life has in store for me. Is there a way for me to get cheaper insurance than what the car rental agency has?

non owners car insurance
policy. This type of policy provides liability insurance
for a car that you are renting or borrowing. Many carriers like GEICO and Progressive sell these policies. If you want to save money on car insurance, the
