UK Car Hire Insurance

I have been looking for car hire for UK later this year. One company I looked at is 'Auto Europe'. I was surprised at the following in the terms and conditions:

RENTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE
  • Insurance coverage for personal injuries to driver or passengers. Optional coverage may be offered locally for an additional fee.
This seems to indicate that passengers are not covered by insurance - I thought that could not be so in UK?
I have gone with a well known UK name so this does not apply to my rental.

    Any uk legal car insurance must include cover for injuries to third parties caused by the drivers negligence. This includes injuries to any passengers.
