Hi! We are from the US and are about to rent a car from Evenes Airport for 5 days using Hertz. Hertz is telling us that they do not offer coverage in the event we cause damage to third party or people. My auto/liability policy does not cover me outside the US. What do I do to ensure I have coverage in case I hit someone's grandma or run into a barn? Please help.
Update!! I found this link below which I believe shows that Hertz does offer third party insurance coverage if I were to damage property or persons while driving the Hertz Rental Car. Agreed??

Statutory liability insurance is taken out for all cars. The insurance is mandatory according to the Vehicle Liability Act of 3 February 1961 (BAL), and is included in all Hertz products in Norway.
The insurance covers liability in accordance with the liability defined in the Motor Liability Act, including damage to a third party's person, property or assets. For damage to assets, the insurance has been extended to cover damage up to NOK 2 million in addition to the provisions of the Motor Liability Act.
