Loss Damage Waiver for rental cars
When you rent a car, do you purchase the Loss Damage Waiver? What are your reasons for or against it?
Thanks in advance! |

1) their price for it is outrageous 2) My personal auto insurance covers this for me when I'm in a rental car (check with your insurance to verify this, and have a copy of your declarations page with you in case the rental company requires it).

My company always has us decline all optional coverages. They have a special insurance policy that covers anyone in the company that is driving a rental car on company business (I think it covers any liability above $3000 - below that and the company just pays for it outright).
I think that page on Enterprise Rental deals that was posted around here mentions quite a bit on how the optional liability coverage is akin to a "Best Buy extended warranty" - i.e., gravy for the rental company. Last edited by Markel : 03-20-2007 at 08:34 AM. |

Definitely check your insurance. My insurance (CSAA) completely covers rental cars, as long as I am in the US (I had to rent in Europe once) and the vehicle is under a certain weight (so uhaul/ryder trucks are *not* covered).
