Supplemental Liability Insurance is not available at this location.

Acceptance of Loss Damage Waiver relieves the renter and authorized additional drivers of financial responsibility if the Budget car is damaged or stolen while under rental contract.  Using the vehicle in violation of any of the use restrictions listed on the rental agreement could void LDW and leave the renter fully responsible for any damage to the vehicle.
LDW is not available in all states and certain restrictions may apply in some states.  At the time of rental, the customer must initial whether he/she accepts or declines the LDW and/or other optional services.  LDW and other optional services must be signed for at the rental counter.
If LDW is not accepted, the customer may be responsible for up to the full fair market value of the car if it is damaged, vandalized or stolen during the rental.  The customer may also be responsible for reimbursing Budget for the revenue lost by not being able to use the car while it is being repaired or not recovered due to theft (referred to as Loss Of Use) and any diminished value resulting from the accident.

Budget accepts most major credit cards as credit identification at the time of rental.  The renter's name must be on the credit card.
