I use Avemco for my renters coverage, Many rental operations will have their fleet covered but they will come after you for the deductable at the very least in the event of an incident.
Also worth noting unless renting from an operation that includes back country flying, most have a clause in the rental contract stating no off airport landings, even at the best Grass Strip airfields.
I'm over in Florida every couple of months for a few weeks per trip so I like to fly as much as possible while there, one frustration is there are some great small airfields to visit but have grass strips so I'm not allowed to go there.
