Brasso removes scratches from DVDs pretty well... just as well as the professional cleaning stuff does, really. If you really wanted to get that scratch out, you should take it to a shop with a professional machine though.

Honestly, a scratch which follows the spin of the disc is near impossible to remove effectively. That disc is pretty much hosed -- hopefully the rental place will just accept it and not charge you.

As I recall, rental games are generally sold to rental stores as a rental license (which costs a couple hundred $USD per copy), which expires after a certain amount of time (unless renewed). The discs themselves are cheap -- they can probably send the disc back to the manufacturer and get a replacement for like $5, and thus they will likely not charge you, their precious customer.
