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).

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.
