It is important to remember, that although your insurance will cover YOU for
damage to the plane they may well subrogate the claim to your friend flying
it.
i.e. You will get paid, but they will claim the cost off your friend.
He would need "Renters Insurance" to cover him.

Good luck.

Or should I just forget about 'renting' it, let friends fly the plane and
eat the costs???

When I was working on my tailwheel training, a friend of mine had a Cessna
140. I don't know what hoops he had to jump through, but he rented me that
aircraft. I *do* remember that I had to pay him and the CFI separately. He
charged me about what a Cessna 150 would've cost from the FBO - maybe a
little more. In any case, renting for your actual cost should be doable.
