Stroller rental - insurance or not?

[ellone]

We are going to rent a City Mini double stroller - should we opt for the insurance or not? Any advice is appreciated.

I added it for peace of mind. I am glad I did, because by midweek I noticed a small hole in the netting of the basket, and the material on the handlebars was splitting. I don't believe we caused these problems, as the handlebars you could spin the covering to line up the seams and not notice, but I didn't want to get a bill from the rental company for damage, so I am glad we had the insurance.
Never heard anything from the rental company so don't know if they even noticed the problems.

If the insurance covers both damage and theft, I'd get it, otherwise, what happens if someone takes your stroller?
