Should I keep my non-owner policy for times when I rent a vehicle?

I have a non-owner policy that is going to expire soon. I rent a car maybe three times a year. Is it worth it to keep the policy or cheaper to pay for the rental insurance?

“If you rent a vehicle occasionally and for only short periods of time, it may not make sense to maintain a
non-owner car insurance
policy.
But if your situation will require renting a vehicle or using a non-owned vehicle more frequently or for more extended periods, the benefit of having consistent coverage might outweigh the cost, especially if you own a home or have other significant assets to protect.
In addition to added liability protection, this type of policy would generally provide medical payments coverage for yourself in the event of an accident.
