A good way to go is get a zipcar or autoshare membership to get the insurance they offer. It was $50 when I looked into it, then rent from who ever you need. Zipshare insurance was a onetime fee and lasted for the duration of your membership. So even if you never rent from them over a 2 year period, one would still get credit for 2 years accident free on their insurance record. I like enterprise, but I also got a good discount from them. Credit card also works well, but read the fine print, it doesn't cover everything on the insurance.
