I do not own my car, and thus do not have auto insurance of my own (otherwise, auto insurance typically follows you where you go, including to any rental cars). When I went to rent a car, I was told that I was required by the State of Georgia to have my own liability insurance, and that since I did not have my own auto insurance, I would have to purchase the rental company's supplemental liability insurance (SLP). Is this true? Wouldn't the rental car company already have coverage for the state-mandated minimum liability insurance?
