It will also protect against scratches.
Fair or not, I think that any scratches into the paint (past the clearcoat) are potentially subject to damage charges.
Another option: I have hauled lots of odd stuff in the
trunk
of a rental car (dirt, mulch, wood chips, etc.. A large trunk can hold a lot. Use a tarp if need be, and vacuum it at the corner car wash.
No worries about scratches. Never a problem with damages. And finally a good use for a Grand Marquis.
