No, your insurance covers the rental, unless you don't have rental coverage, OR fault has already been determined by the insurance companies, and the other insurance offers to cover the rental. You may want to speak to the insurance handling your claim.

You don't need insurance on a rental...you're probably covered under your own insurance for that! Decline it.

Not clear on your question. Are you asking if the other guy's insurance will pay for you to drive a rental car, or are you asking if they will pay the insurance to cover you in an accident (should one happen) while driving the rental ?

I would contact whomever you are working with on the claim and ask about them covering the cost of a rental. Usually they do for the amount of time it is estimated it will take for your repair to be done. If you are still driving your truck, they will only pay for the amount of time it is necessary for the actual repair work to be done.

When we were hit, they paid for the rental but not for the rental insurance. We chose not to get it (since technically you are "covered" by your insurance) except for the days that we had to travel out of state and didn't want the hassle. We had our rental for 3 weeks, so $30 a day would have been insanely expensive by the end!

No, I believe if you elect to take out the coverage they offer it will be your responsibility to pay. Your own auto insurance should cover you in an accident in the rental so you don't really need it. You can call your insurance agent to confirm.
