The most important thing is to check with your regular insurance company
to make sure you are covered. Most of the better insurance companies
will insure anything you drive on a temporary basis like that.

Sort-a true but usually your own vehicle has to be "temporarily unavailable"
like it's in the shop. I amnot aware of any auto policy that just straight
up covers the rental that I use one a one day basis, or maybe while on
holdays away from home or on a business trip. I'm not saying that your
personal auto policy won't cover this but you had best check with your
broker/agent first.

Mine covers me for whatever I'm driving.

Obviously the right here for the OP.

This seems to be the case for states that are behind the times.

According to my insurance agent, the policy follows me, not the
vehicle. So, whatever I am driving is covered.
