Do you buy the Lose of use Waiver for rental cars

[Donna M]

Budget charges $25.99 a day for Lose of Use. We never had it before, but we're wondering now if maybe we should get it. If the car were in an accident that lose of use would add up to quite a bit..But paying an extra $26 a day adds up too.

Check your credit card, many include loss of use.

What is covered?
Subject to the terms and conditions in this Guide to Benefit, if you do not have personal automobile insurance or any other insurance covering this theft or damage, this benefit reimburses you for the covered theft or damage as well as valid administrative and loss-of-use charges imposed by the auto rental company and reasonable towing charges that occur while you are responsible for the rental vehicle........

Thanks so much for the info. That could have really added up; now we don't have to buy the coverage.

I just love the Disboards.
