A few times a year I rent a truck from uhaul to remove large items
from my house or when I need to transport something large. They charge
$15 a day for minimum insurance (covers the truck only), $30 a day
covers truck and damage to other property.
I am just wondering how many people pay the extra $$ for insurance
when renting trucks from u-haul (not for long distance moves, just 1-
day use).

I never purchase any additional insurance. The people who own the vehicle
have it insured. To charge that to the renter is just a scam.

Try hitting someone or something without the optional insurance, and see
who the lawyers go after! (No, better NOT!!!)
(Fortunately, I have yet to be in that boat!)
Why do personal car insurance policies often cover driving rental
vehicles? I suspect there is a need!
If you have personal car insurance, and they cover your use of a
rental vehicle, and you don't mind putting them on the hook if you bungle
driving the truck, then go ahead and decline the optional insurance!

Be careful renting a truck with your insurance. You *may* not be
covered. Check with your insurance company.
