What does non-owner car insurance typically cost?

I rent cars frequently as I don't have my own car. Someone recommended I get a non-owners policy since the rental car company's insurance can be expensive. Would a non-owners policy be cheaper than insurance from the rental car company?

“Depending on where you live,
non-owners car insurance
costs between $200 and $500 annually. Compare this to $20 to $60 a day for rental car insurance, and non-owner insurance is a bargain.
Keep in mind that non-owner car insurance is a
liability coverage
policy. Such a policy may be similar to the rental car company’s collision damage waiver. However, non-owner car insurance doesn’t provide full coverage, meaning that you may still be liable for damages from theft, hit-and-run accidents, and
acts of God
.
If you require full coverage, you can get additional coverage from the rental company. Credit cards often offer some sort of rental car coverage, so check that out as well.”
