You are only renting the lens... not the filter...

The rental price already includes regular scratches and damages. Even if they give you a filter, you would most likely not use it since there's no incentive for you to protect the front glass for them.

It seems like rental is a really good business. One of my friends recently rented a 5D (original) + a lens for $100 for one day. That's like 5% daily return. If I can get $400 a day for my Noctilux, that would be sweet, LOL.

One more question, do I need to pay more for multi-coated UV filer or a normal UV file is more than enough ?

Coating reduces glare and improves contrast. So, it depends on how much you care about "IQ". I always get a B+W MRC or Leica filter included whenever I buy a lens so now I have a whole stack of filters sitting in the drawer. LOL.
