Only if it is a pickup (defined as “a private passenger vehicle” in your standard auto policy). Most fully-enclosed trucks weigh more than 10,000 lbs., are not considered a private passenger vehicle and, therefore, would not qualify for coverage under your policy. If you rent any vehicle other than a pickup truck, you should buy the insurance offered by the rental company since your plan does not include that type of coverage.

When renting a trailer, it is also a good idea to purchase damage insurance since there is a coverage limit of only $500 on a non-owned trailer through your standard auto policy. That amount would not be sufficient to cover replacement costs should the trailer you rent become severely damaged.
