If you rent a car, you HAVE TO show proof of insurance right?

Question:
I got hit on my motorcycle yesterday by a guy in a rental. The cop said we had to call the rental place ourselves to get the guy's insurance info. My husband called today and they said they're not sure if the guy has insurance. They said he didn't get the rental's insurance, and he signed a waiver saying he does have his own ins. They said since he signed the waiver they didn't need to see his proof. That doesn't sound right to me! By the way, everyone is fine (except my bike). I did manage to keep my bike up though, that's a very good thing!

I lost my KY license and now live in PA...?

I have never shown proof of insurance when renting a car...signing the waiver takes responsibility off the renter.

Can anyone tell me what $$ to expect for this claim...rear ended by drunk driver, 5 months therapy after..thx

It depends on the state. In CA it is required to show / have with you when driving, but other states like NV you only have to sign a waiver stating that you are responsible for anything that happens. Lots of times credit cards will cover it if it is a benefit of the card and it is rented with the card.
