No, you do not need proof of insurance to rent a car from Enterprise. In fact, you don't need your own car insurance at all to rent a car from the company, as this requirement would prevent customers who don't own a vehicle from renting.

That's why secured cards aren't the best option for car rentals, considering their lower-than-average credit limits. Instead, you can use an unsecured credit card, or choose a payment method that doesn't involve a credit card.
