USA Car Rental without CDW

Hi,
Looking to rent a car in the USA but prices are high as all policies quoted from the UK include CDW and SLI. I have an annual excess cover policy via moneymaxim as recommended by MSE which includes CDW and SLI for USA and Canada.
As a result, I am assuming I can rent a car without CDW/SLI and save money on the rental. Is that true? If so, where can I find cars to rent that don't include CDW and SLI by default?
Thanks.

US sites of hire firms quote prices with no insurance included, if you are sure that your annual policy includes all relevant cover and not just excess.

I have tried that but most are based on IP, I think they realises you are in the UK and quotes based in that so end up adding in the CDW and SLI. I have found one that quotes without these so may end up going with that. ThanksIf you found my comment helpful, please click the 'Thanks' button below :T1

I’m looking for the same thing.
how did you find one that quoted without cdw0 -
I think it was Payless .. but note that that they don't have good review. In the end, for my trip, I just ended up going with Alamo which included all the insurances but offer amazing service. In many airports, they even let you choose your car. I booked a full size and took a Dodge Challenger!!cadent said:I’m looking for the same thing.
