That's been one of the drawbacks for me, even if the value/mile ratio was OK. It would force me to buy the rental company's CDW or equivalent, which can be as much or more than the basic rental cost. If I were otherwise buying trip insurance for the particular trip I guess there might be a plan that provides adequate enough coverage.
