"It's ridiculous how rental companies screw U.S. residents, but for once it's good to not live in the states."
It's not quite that simple. Most U.S. residents who rent cars also own cars, and their personal auto insurance policies typically provide liability coverage when they rent. Those residents who do not own cars but rent frequently can buy a non-owned-auto policy, or purchase million-dollar liability coverage directly from the rental company at a daily rate.
