LDW is not an Insurance. It is an optional coverage; you are not obligated to buy it. LDW releases you from any financial responsibility (except for the amount shown as "responsibility" on the front of your Rental Agreement) by loss of, or damage to, your AVIS car due to collision, theft, vandalism, or any other cause - as long as you are in compliance with the terms of your AVIS Rental Agreement.  If you do not accept LDW, you are responsible for all loss or damage to the rental car due to theft, collision, vandalism, or any cause other than specified on your Rental Agreement. LDW is not available from AVIS in New York. In the state of New York you are responsible up to US$ 100.- towards damage to the AVIS vehicle. Laws may also prohibit AVIS from offering it in other areas of the U.S. If local law, where your Rental Agreement is signed, provides LDW terms that are different than those stated in your Rental Agreement, local law will apply.
