Hiring a car in the US - insurance?

[MitchT]

When you hire a car in the US do you have to insure it yourself or is insurance part of the hire package?

We're thinking of flying to Phoenix, staying in Sedona and exploring the area a bit, including a trip out to the Grand Canyon. Ideally the car would be a Corvette.

Interesting stuff, thanks.

Fingers crossed we should be okay for getting a Corvette. The OH went to Phoenix on a work trip a few years ago and the car hire place she went to at PHX was practically giving them away - they had a whole car park full of them!

We'll see anyway, the whole trip is just at the 'research' stage at the moment.

Indeed, I know Mr Talkwrench. He's not someone who needs to make up stories to impress people.
