Is this related to the company or the location, I ask because the only times in my life I have been charged for damage to a rental car have been in the UK, each time I return a car they get the magnifyng glass out and look it over like they are buying it. As a contrast I rent at LAX almost monthly and have never had anybody give the car more than a glance and have never been charged for any sort of damage, and I did not purchase insurance for any of thise rentals.
