$5,000 for damage to property. (Also known as product damage liability)
The only required insurance coverage when renting cars in California is third party liability. Drivers must also carry proof of liability insurance (your own insurance card or the car rental contract if liability coveerage was purchased) as that is required by law.
For California, rental car companies do not automatically provide any liability protection to the renter as part of the standard rental agreement."
Did you have liability? If not, you were uninsured even with a rental car in the eyes of CA.
yes, i read information similar to this. no, i didn't have liability. i'm gonna have to think this situation through because i can't have my license suspended and then be subject to SR-22 requirements for 3 years...
