He said its not a problem you can have the car without any coverage, its just that you will be responsible for all the damage even if its not my fault. He asked me to sign some kinda "exemption" form and thats it. I got the car. So I dont know what's going to happen next.
If you told the rental agency you had no insurance, and they rented it to you anyway, were they not a party to you breaking the law (is it not mandatory to have insurance)? So they should bear some of the liability.

Mind you, IANAL...
