Default Alternatives to car rental insurance

We plan to stay a month in California and rent a car. Are there any
alternatives to the expensive car rental insurance offered? We don't
own a car so we don't have car insurance year round.

Thank you.

Since you do not own a car and have no auto insurance, I don't know how
your liability insurance would be covered. Do you have any liability
insurance?

Using a major credit card to pay for the rental, you should be able to
decline the "collision damage waiver" insurance which is offered by the
renters. Check with your credit card company to be sure that you have
this benefit.

If you do have an accident, it is important to NOTIFY YOUR CREDIT CARD
COMPANY FIRST AND LET THEM HANDLE IT! If you notify the renter first,
the charges for the damage could be immediately applied to your card.
