Beware of rental car insurance scams, they are aplenty, even with the big firms. Highly recommend buying the 'local' insurance for damage. Be sure to fully check out the car, including the roof for damage. Still, there is a good possibility you'll get dinged by someone, and they'll charge you a fortune to fix cosmetic scrapes. Don't leave anything in the car, as it's an invitation for theft.
