Additional car rental insurance

Hi - booked a rental car for Italy through AutoEurope with their "0 deductible" plan (i assume this is full insurance). Is it necessary to also purchase additional insurance provided at the counter when we pick the car up or will this allow us to walk away with no payment in the event of an accident? They always try to push us to buy more from the company itself (Europcar in this case) and have been fooled by this before in other countries.

Thank you! Lauren

If you walk in with the zero deductible contract from AutoEurope I don’t even think they will ask you if you want more. I don’t think they ever did, at least I don’t remember they did and I generally choose the Europcar or Hertz deal on AutoEurope (Europcar in 2022).
