There are typically three types of insurance offered by Budget: Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), and Liability Insurance. CDW and LDW cover damage to the rental car, while Liability Insurance covers damage to other people’s property.<\/p>\n
<\/span>2. What is Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
CDW is a type of insurance that covers damage to the rental car in the event of a collision. It usually comes with a deductible that you would need to pay if there is any damage.<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. What is Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Similar to CDW, LDW covers damage to the rental car, but it may offer more comprehensive coverage than CDW. Like CDW, LDW also typically comes with a deductible.<\/p>\n
<\/span>4. Do I need to purchase CDW or LDW from Budget?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
It is not required to purchase CDW or LDW from Budget, but it is recommended for peace of mind in case of an accident. Your personal auto insurance or credit card may provide some coverage, so be sure to check before your rental.<\/p>\n
<\/span>5. What is Liability Insurance?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Liability Insurance covers damage to other people’s property in the event of an accident. It is required by law in most states, so it is important to make sure you have adequate coverage.<\/p>\n
<\/span>6. Can I use my personal auto insurance for a Budget rental?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Most personal auto insurance policies will cover rental cars, but it is important to check with your insurance provider to see if you have adequate coverage while driving a rental car. If not, you may want to purchase additional insurance from Budget.<\/p>\n
<\/span>7. Does my credit card offer rental car insurance coverage?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Many credit cards offer some form of rental car insurance coverage when you pay for the rental with that card. However, the coverage can vary depending on the card issuer, so be sure to review the terms and conditions of your credit card benefits.<\/p>\n
<\/span>8. Are there any exclusions to credit card rental car insurance coverage?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Yes, there are often exclusions such as luxury or exotic cars, off-road vehicles, and rentals in certain countries. Be sure to check the terms and conditions of your credit card benefits to understand what is covered.<\/p>\n
