Liability Damage Waiver (LDW)

What is Liability Damage Waiver?

Liability Damage Waiver (LDW) is a 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 National TV Sales & Rental, so you can breathe easy!

What does LDW cover?

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.

Who is eligible for LDW?

LDW protection is available to all customers with a current agreement.

Do I need LDW if I have homeowners or renters insurance?

Most customers still benefit from LDW even if they have homeowners or renters 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.

How much does LDW cost?

In most states, the Liability Damage Waiver is only 5% of your rental payment.

How do I submit an LDW claim after an incident?

Simply contact your local store. If your product is damaged, we will attempt to repair it. If your product is stolen, we will ask you to provide a police report.
