Additional Motorcycle Liability Reduction:
Our optional Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is $25.00 per riding day (cost not to exceed $300). When you purchase this agreement, you will be responsible for only the first $2,000 of bike damages. If you decline this option you are responsible for all expenses. (Please note that the LDW does not cover personal property damage or bodily injury.) The Loss Damage Waiver will reduce but not eliminate responsibility for damage or theft of the motorcycle. The renter must comply with the terms and conditions in the Rental Agreement. We recommend that you contact your motorcycle insurance carrier to see if you are covered for rental motorcycles.
Loss Damage Waiver examples
- Renter opts in for the Loss Damage Waiver, drops the bike in gas-filled ravine, where it catches on fire. The damage to bike is $18,000. Because the Renter opted in for the Loss Damage Waiver, Renter pays $2,000. Renter who did NOT opt in, pays the full $18,000.
- Renter opts in for the Loss Damage Waiver, drops the bike in the parking lot of hotel. The pegs are scratched and the brake shifter is bent. Damage to the bike is $200. Renter pays $200. Renter who did NOT opt in, pays $200.
