Grammar for this text

Impersonal se. Se deja un depósito, no se paga nada, se entrega con el depósito lleno — "you leave a deposit", "you don't pay anything", "it's returned with a full tank". The employee isn't talking about himself or about the customers, but about how things are done here. There are several keys, so the verb is plural: las llaves se dejan en el buzón (the keys are left in the mailbox).

Questions inside a sentence. No sé qué seguro entra en el precio, ¿sabe si hay que devolver el coche…?, ¿me puede decir dónde se entrega? — this is a more polite way to ask. Si here means "if, whether": compruebo si hay más arañazos — "I'll check if there are any more scratches".

Depósito means both "deposit" and "gas tank", and that's why Ana asks again. El seguro is "insurance"; don't confuse it with estoy seguro — "I'm sure".

Small points. Conduzco yo — "I'm driving": the present tense for a near plan; conduzco is the yo form of conducir, with an added z. Al entregar el coche — "when you return the car" (al + infinitive). Lo cogemos — "we'll take it": lo is el seguro. Entra en el precio — "is included in the price".
