Well my buddy rented a car a car in OR, car cost was like $30 daily. The liability cost was $21.95 daily.
Holy cow, talk about doubling the cost of the rental.
I was in NY recently, cost for the liability insc was only $12.95 day.

Hertz must provide basic, PRIMARY liability insurance by law in New York and other "vicarious liability" states, so they just include the cost of basic liability in the daily rate. It's costly for rental agencies to do business in New York State as they must pay out all at-fault liability claims involving their vehicles, even if the renter has liability insurance on his or her own car.
Oregon is probably not a vicarious liability state (someone posted a list on another thread here a while back), so their price for ALI is higher.
