You would not be able to add any third-party insurance to these reservations. Credit card loss damage waivers will not cover you.
So if an accident where to occur it sounds like the individual would be 100% liable.
For me the risk is far too great.
Wouldn't the renter's personal auto insurance policy provide personal liability coverage for the rental regardless of an AWD code, as well as collision, comprehensive and property damage coverage if the personal policy includes those?
