Oddly enough I did just that last week, rented a truck to move
some stuff my car can't. I was surprised at how much this place
wanted for insurance so I didn't spring for it. I know from earlier
experience that my insurance does not cover rental trucks, just
cars.
Needless to say, being uninsured, I ran my errands and got rid of
that truck as soon as I could.
This place wanted $40 for the day, a blatant ripoff. A different
place I used last year was $10 and I thought that was fair.
I'm not offering advice either way. I took a chance and got away
with it.

One other point that may have already been mentioned is that the rental
company will want their money for damage immediately. If you haven't
purchased their insurance they will run your credit card to the max to get
their money. They aren't going to wait for you to file a claim with your
car ins. or a credit card company.
