Liability Damage Waiver (LDW)
Liability Damage Waiver (LDW) is an optional program that protects you from liability in the event your rental product is stolen or damaged due to natural disaster, fire, or smoke. Without LDW, you are responsible for the cost to repair or replace the stolen or damaged merchandise. By paying a small fee with each rental payment, you pass this responsibility on to BuyWise, so you can breathe easy!
LDW protects you from a wide range of unexpected events, such as theft, fire, lightning, flooding, and other acts of nature. It does not cover loss or damage from abuse or carelessness.
LDW protection is available to all customers with a current agreement, in all states excluding California.
Most customers still benefit from LDW even if they have homeowner’s or renter’s insurance. Many insurance policies have high deductibles and may not cover rental products. We recommend you check if your insurance will cover the cost to replace or repair rental merchandise and consider the amount of your deductible when deciding whether LDW is right for you and your budget.
