No one should elect the additional insurance when in their home state. You
already have the level of insurance that you have chosen, driving a rental
should make no difference. What expense do you think you would be avoiding
by keeping an old car on hand in case you need a rental again? I presume
the insurance on the standby car would exceed the additional insurance you
picked up on the rental.

Oh, man that's a stretch. Don't allude any portion of that thought to me.
I said they didn't stock that bizarre part, for which they predicted no
failures, in this country.
