    Mike,

    Mitsubishi Montero is similar to a Shogun.

    Pics here: http://www.mitsubishicars.com/montero/index.html

    Liability is akin to basic Third Party Ins and would be the legal
    minimum. The extra's cover your excess to the rental company and so on.
    $19.99 for the extra sounds pretty steep, but then the Montero will be a
    premium vehicle in the hire co. fleet.

    Sorry can't help with the Disco question.

    HTH

    Ian
