Question
Shalom u'vracha
There is a private person who rents out his car for payment
and I asked him about the insurance
he answered: I have insurance
and it seems to me that it is insurance he arranged for anyone who drives the car
and my question is that I am renting the car from him
and most insurance companies generally do not agree for it to be used for rental
and I have no information about this, only a concern
may I rent it from him or not?

Answer
Shalom u'vracha
You are permitted to rent it.
If there is damage, you will have to pay everything, and it will be forbidden for you to make a claim from the insurance.
