As noted, check with your car insurance and even you home/apartment
insurance. You may already be covered. No need to pay twice.

Another common source is a credit card. Many credit cards will cover a
rental car, that does not mean it includes trucks, but it may well cover
them as well, check. The car rental people make a lot of money on those add
ons.
