Is Hertz LDW worth it?

Is a loss damage waiver worth it? Yes, a loss damage waiver has the potential to save you both time and money if an accident were to occur during your rental. Without a loss damage waiver, in most states, the renter will be responsible for any loss or damage to the car, even if the damage is not your fault.
