How do I show the rental agency that I already have insurance for the rental car?

What will a rental car agency accept as proof of coverage? I told them that my insurance company would cover any accidents with my rental, but they require "proof." I don't know what I’m supposed to send them.

In most cases, showing your
car insurance
ID cards will prove to a company that you are, in fact, insured.
However, an ID card would only indicate that you have
liability coverage
on your policy, which means they could still pressure you to purchase additional
comprehensive
and
collision
coverage.
To make things easier for yourself, you should show the agency a binder letter or a
declaration page
. Both these forms will describe your liability coverage and the physical damage coverage limits on your policy.
You can request a binder or a declaration page from your insurance agent or by downloading it instantly from their website.
