LDW

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is a protection option that relieves you of financial responsibility if the rental car is damaged or stolen. LDW is not insurance.

Are your optional protections really necessary?

Answer:   Budget offers various types of optional protections such as Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which is not insurance, to protect against damage to tour car and Personal Accident and Effects Insurance (PAE) $7.75 per day, to protect you if your injured and your possessions in the event of loss. Additional drivers are an additional $11.44 per day.

Will my own insurance cover the damage to a Budget car?

In addition, you may have coverage available to you through your credit card company. You should contact your insurance company and/or credit card company to confirm what coverage is available (if any) for rental cars before renting any vehicle. Only then will you be able to make an informed decision on whether to accept our optional Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) protection.

Should I purchase coverage for my Budget vehicle from a travel package Web site?

 Remember - if the insurance doesn't cover your loss, you will remain personally responsible for any difference! To be on the safe side, consider Budget's optional Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) because it reduces your financial liability for loss or damage to the rental car for as long as you rent the vehicle under the terms of the Budget rental agreement. Cost of LDW varies by location, but it's a reasonably-priced plan with a low daily rate.

What should I do if I'm involved in an accident or the car is damaged during my rental?

 For an international (non-U.S.) claim, please contact us via e-mail for non-U.S. claims . If you purchased Budget Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) with your rental, your claims process is now complete. Loss Damage Waiver is an optional service which, if accepted, eliminates your financial liability for loss or damage to the Budget vehicle, its parts and accessories, provided the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement.

What insurance do you offer while I'm renting?

By purchasing PAE in combination with ESP, international renters who might otherwise have no medical coverage available to them while in the U.S. are protected against medical expenses that result either from accident or sickness. - Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) offered by car rental companies is not insurance. It's an option that relieves renters of financial responsibility if the car is damaged or stolen while under rental contract.
