[USA] Taking rental "offroad" for a 3 trip, what are my options?

Plan to rent a SUV and go "offroad". Nothing crazy, just normal tent camping/backpacking , but as rental policies become void when going off maintained/listed roads, I don't want to be on the hook for a freak fallen tree or something.

I'm looking at travel insurance, but they seem to the have the clause to default back to rental agreement liability. Other option is some type of umbrella?

​

Thanks for any help

edit: located in CA, trip to NV, AZ, NM mostly

Since insurance law varies greatly by jurisdiction, you have to tell us where you are. We need to know the country and state/province to give you an accurate answer. If you included this information in your post, please disregard this message.

If you violate the rental agreement you could find yourself in a major, major jam. If you want to go off-road, you need to find another way to do it.

If nothing else, I'll just stay closer to the official roads. Just a bit silly considering.
