What It Is
The Damage Protection Waiver (DPW) is an optional protection plan automatically applied to your rental order at 10% of the rental subtotal. This waiver relieves you of financial responsibility for accidental damage to rented equipment during normal use.
You may decline the DPW at checkout. If declined, you will be fully responsible for all repair and replacement costs.
The DPW is not insurance. It is an optional protection plan that covers accidental damage to rented equipment.
