I don't own a car to save money, so I end up renting cars quite a bit. Usually every month or two at some point (I still end up saving ~$6k per year off having a car)

Since I don't own a car, I don't have any car insurance. That leaves me relying on supplemental insurance to stay covered.

I can use my credit card for the collision damage coverage part of it. But my card doesn't cover any personal 3rd party liability/injury.

The car rental agencies offer supplemental liability insurance, but its usually $15-$25+ per day. Sometimes this almost doubles the cost of rentals. For example I'm renting a car for this weekend. The base rate is $120. The supplemental liability insurance is an additional $75.

I've been looking into alternative means of getting liability coverage on the rental. What I found is that many regular travel insurance policies have liability coverage as a benefit. The whole policy only costs ~$15-$25 for an entire week...plus has all kinds of added medical coverage, and even additional rental car damage protection.

Does it make sense to just get this instead of the rental car protection? Is there a catch I'm missing here?
