If you cannot show that you do, then the insurance coverage is likely to be null and void and you will be responsible for the full amount of any damage you caused. Just want you to be aware of the risks.
Has there been a case reported of this actually occurring? There was a thread in the Hertz forum where a member actually had an accident under this circumstance, but it was not clear that the member was in the end, on the hook for the full amount of the damage, and it ended up being a bunch of conjecture.
