AutoSlash , I cannot speak about booking U.S. rentals through a European website, but what you say is not universally true. From Alamo's U.S. website:

"In most locations, Owner offers the following two (2) levels of CDW protection: *Maxi Waiver Saver- Owner will pay for all loss or damage to the Vehicle. *Waiver Saver 3000- Owner will pay the first $3,000 of loss or damage. Renter will pay for all loss or damage over $3,000."
