You have to be very specific and honest with the rental provider about your intended route. Most cars are now equipped with GPS tracking devices. The moment you stray into an area excluded by your contract, insurance coverage will be cancelled. However, a different contract that accommodates your route may be available at the time of rental at a higher price.
