Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver
(Auto Rental CDW)
Benet Information
What is Auto Rental CDW?
The Auto Rental CDW benet provides reimbursement for damage
due to collision or theft up to the actual cash value of most rental
vehicles. It is primary coverage which means you do not have to le
a claim with any other source of insurance before you can receive
coverage under this benet while renting primarily for business
purposes, renting outside your country of residence for personal
reasons or if you do not have automobile insurance.
Within your country of residence, if you are renting for personal
reasons, Auto Rental CDW is secondary coverage which means
it supplements, and applies in excess of, any valid and collectible
insurance or reimbursement from any source. It does not
duplicate insurance provided by or purchased through the
auto rental company. Auto Rental CDW will not pay for theft or
damage reimbursable by your own insurer, employer, employer’s
insurance, or any other valid and collectible reimbursement.
However, this benet will pay for the outstanding deductible
portion or other charges, including valid administration and
loss-of-use charges not covered by your applicable automobile
insurance policy.
What steps do I need to take to ensure that Auto
Rental CDW is in eect when I rent a vehicle?
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Initiate and complete the entire rental transaction using your
card that is eligible for the benet.
2. Decline the rental company’s collision damage waiver or similar
provision if it is oered to you. The company may refer to the
collision damage waiver as CDW or LDW in their contract or
when speaking with you. If you accept the collision damage
waiver oered by the rental company, you will not be
eligible for Auto Rental CDW.
What if the auto rental company insists
that I purchase its car insurance or
collision damage waiver?
Call the Benet Administrator for help.
Is there anything else I should do when I’m
renting a vehicle?
It’s always good practice to review the rental agreement and
become familiar with its terms and conditions. Also, make
sure you decline the rental company’s CDW/LDW option as
mentioned above.
Check the vehicle for prior damage before leaving the rental lot.
If you notice damage, report it to your rental agent before leaving
the lot.
Coverage Information
Who is eligible for coverage?
You, a person to whom a United States (U.S.) credit card has been
issued (“Cardholder”) and your name is embossed on the card.
4 Questions? Call 1-888-320-9956
You are then covered as the primary renter of the vehicle and any
additional drivers permitted to operate it under the terms of the
rental agreement (“Authorized Person”) are also covered.
When and where am I covered?
The benet is available in the United States and most foreign
countries. Coverage is not available where it is prohibited by law
or by individual merchants, or is in violation of the territory terms
of the rental agreement. Please note: Regulations vary outside
the United States, so we recommend that you check with your
auto rental company and Benet Administrator before you
travel to make sure your Auto Rental CDW will apply.
This benet is in eect while the rental vehicle remains in your
control or in the control of another Authorized Person. Coverage
ends when the rental company reassumes control of the vehicle.
What is covered?
Auto Rental CDW reimburses you for covered losses to the
rental vehicle while it is in your control or in control of another
Authorized Person. The benet only covers vehicle rental periods
that do not exceed or are not intended to exceed thirty-one (31)
consecutive days within or outside of your country of residence.
Covered losses are:
Physical damage and/or theft of the covered rental vehicle
Valid loss-of-use charges assessed by the rental company while
the damaged vehicle is being repaired and is not available for
use, as substantiated in the company’s eet utilization log
Reasonable and customary towing charges related to a covered
loss to take the vehicle to the nearest qualied repair facility.
Auto Rental CDW is primary coverage when renting primarily for
business purposes, renting outside your country of residence for
personal reasons or if you do not have automobile insurance.
Coverage is secondary when renting inside your country
of residence for personal use. Auto Rental CDW provides
reimbursement up to the actual cash value of the vehicle as it was
originally manufactured. Most private passenger automobiles,
minivans, and sport utility vehicles are eligible for coverage, but
some restrictions may apply.
What types of rental vehicles are not covered?
Excluded worldwide are: expensive, exotic, and antique
automobiles; cargo vans; vehicles that have an open cargo bed;
trucks; motorcycles, mopeds, and motorbikes; limousines; and

28 Questions? Call 1-888-320-9956
of the incident, the Benet Administrator may choose to address
your claim in one of two ways:
1. A damaged item may be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced wholly
or in part. A stolen item may be replaced. You will be notied
of the decision to repair, rebuild, or replace your item
within fteen (15) days following receipt of the required
proof-of-theft/damage documentation.
2. You may be reimbursed for the covered item. The
reimbursement will be for no more than the original purchase
price of the covered item as shown on your Account receipt,
less shipping and handling charges, up to a maximum
of ten thousand ($10,000.00) dollars per claim and
fty thousand ($50,000.00) dollars per Account.*
You will only be reimbursed up to the amount charged to your
Account or the program limit whichever is less. Additionally, any
purchases made using rewards points associated with the Account
are eligible for this benet and you will only be reimbursed up to
the dollar amount to replace or repair the item or the program
limit, whichever is less.
Under normal circumstances, reimbursement will take place within
ve (5) business days of receipt and approval of all required
documents.
In either case, the Benet Administrator’s payment, replacement,
or repair made in good faith will fulll the obligation under
the benet.
Do I have to le a claim with my insurance company?
Yes. If you have personal (i.e. homeowner’s, renter’s, or
automobile) insurance, you are required to le a claim with your
insurance company and to submit a copy of any claims settlement
from your insurance company along with your claim form.*
At the discretion of the Benet Administrator, a copy of your
personal declaration page may be sucient when the claim
amount is within your personal insurance deductible.
* Note: Purchase Protection provides coverage on an “excess”
coverage basis. That means it does not duplicate, but pays
in excess of, valid and collectible insurance or indemnity
(including, but not limited to, homeowner, renter, automobile,
or employer insurance policies). After all insurance or indemnity
has been exhausted, Purchase Protection will cover the loss
up to the amount charged to your Account, and subject to the
terms, exclusions, and limits of liability of the benet. Purchase
Protection will also pay for the outstanding deductible portion
of your insurance or indemnity for eligible claims. The maximum
limit of liability is ten thousand ($10,000.00) dollars per claim
occurrence, and fty thousand ($50,000.00) dollars per Account.
You will receive no more than the purchase price as recorded.
Where a protected item is part of a pair or set, you will receive no
more than the value (as described herein) of the particular part
or parts, stolen or damaged, regardless of any special value that
the item may have as part of such a pair or set, nor more than
the proportionate part of an aggregate purchase price of such
pair or set. Purchase Protection is not “contributing” insurance,
and this “non-contribution” provision shall take precedence over
“non-contribution” provisions found in insurance or indemnity
descriptions, policies, or contracts.
Additional Provisions for Purchase Protection: This protection
provides benets only to you, the eligible Cardholder, and
28 Questions? Call 1-888-320-9956 Outside of the U.S., call collect at 1-804-673-1691 29
to whomever receives the eligible gifts you purchase with
your Account.
You shall use due diligence and do all things reasonable to avoid
or diminish any loss or damage to property protected by this
benet. This provision will not be unreasonably applied to
avoid claims.
If you make any claim knowing it to be false or fraudulent in any
respect including, but not limited to, the cost of repair services,
no coverage shall exist for such claim and your benet may be
canceled. Each Cardholder agrees that any representations
regarding claims will be accurate and complete. Any and all
relevant provisions shall be void in any case of fraud, intentional
concealment, or misrepresentation of material fact by
the Cardholder.
After the Benet Administrator has paid your claim of loss
or damage, all your rights and remedies against any party in
respect of this loss or damage will be transferred to the Benet
Administrator to the extent of the payment made to you. You must
give the Benet Administrator all assistance as may reasonably be
required to secure all rights and remedies.
No legal action for a claim may be brought against the Provider
until sixty (60) days after the Provider receives proof of loss.
No legal action against the Provider may be brought more than
two (2) years after the time for giving proof of loss. Further, no
legal action may be brought against the Provider unless all the
terms of this Guide to Benets have been complied with fully.
