Not every insurance policy extends its coverage to car rentals. This is especially true if the rental is out of state or out of the country. Always read the fine print on your insurance policy to determine if car rental insurance is included. If it isn't, you may need a rider to get it included. If this changes your costs significantly, you can investigate the cost at individual rental companies. Or, wait to buy extended coverage until you must rent a car.

No. By "full coverage," I assume you mean you have comprehensive and collision coverage. This does not include rental. You have to buy a special endorsement on your policy to get rental. Hitting a deer is a comprehensive claim and if you have rental, you will get a rental if the car is non-drivable or when it is in the shops for the repairs. If you did not buy rental, the insurance company does not have to pay. Check your coverages.
