To qualify, renters typically must carry an active personal auto insurance policy that includes comprehensive, collision, and liability coverage. Renters who do not have qualifying personal auto insurance may still be eligible to rent from PC Elite Rentals LLC and may be required to purchase PC Elite Rentals' optional Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) and/or Collision Damage Waiver (CDW).
LDW / CDW Daily Pricing
LDW
Loss Damage Waiver
$25/day
CDW
Collision Damage Waiver
$20/day
LDW + CDW Bundle
Save $5 per rental day
LDW costs $25 per rental day. CDW costs $20 per rental day. Purchased separately, both cost $45 per rental day. The recommended LDW + CDW Bundle applies a $5 per rental day discount for a discounted price of $40 per rental day.
When the applicable LDW/CDW is purchased, PC Elite Rentals LLC may waive the renter's responsibility for covered physical damage to the rental vehicle, subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, exclusions, and requirements of the applicable waiver and Rental Agreement. The applicable commercial insurance policy may respond to covered damage subject to the policy's terms, conditions, exclusions, limits, and applicable deductible. The LDW/CDW is a contractual damage waiver and is not personal automobile insurance. It does not automatically provide bodily injury liability coverage, personal injury protection, or coverage for damage to third-party vehicles or property unless specifically stated in the applicable agreement or coverage. All renters must meet PC Elite Rentals LLC's eligibility requirements, provide valid identification and a valid driver's license, and comply with all Rental Agreement rules. By purchasing the LDW/CDW, the renter acknowledges that the waiver is subject to its written terms and does not eliminate responsibility for excluded losses, prohibited use, unauthorized drivers, intentional or reckless conduct, driving under the influence, failure to secure the vehicle, or other violations of the Rental Agreement.

Vehicle damage & financial responsibility
The renter is responsible for the vehicle while it is in their possession and may be responsible for reasonable costs resulting from damage caused by the renter, an authorized or unauthorized driver, negligence, misuse, abuse, prohibited use, or violation of the rental agreement. Depending on the circumstances, this may include reasonable costs for:
- Vehicle repairs
- Towing and roadside recovery resulting from renter-caused damage or misuse
- Lost, stolen, or damaged keys/remotes
- Tire or wheel/rim damage
- Interior damage
- Excessive cleaning caused by the renter
- Smoking or vaping in the vehicle
- Damage caused by an unauthorized driver
- Damage resulting from prohibited or unauthorized use
- Applicable insurance deductibles when the renter is responsible
- Reasonable administrative expenses associated with processing a damage claim
- Reasonable loss of use/downtime while the vehicle is unavailable for rental because of renter-caused damage
Normal wear and tear and mechanical failures unrelated to the renter's conduct are not considered renter-caused damage.
Loss of use / vehicle downtime
If the vehicle is damaged or otherwise rendered unavailable for rental because of damage for which the renter is responsible, PC Elite Rentals LLC may charge a reasonable loss-of-use/downtime amount for the period the vehicle is unavailable for rental, subject to applicable law.
Kia K5 standard loss-of-use rate: $87 / day
Representing the vehicle's applicable daily rental rate.
The loss-of-use period begins when the vehicle is removed from service because of renter-caused damage and ends when the vehicle has been reasonably repaired, inspected, and returned to service. PC Elite Rentals will not intentionally extend the repair or downtime period for the purpose of increasing charges. The daily loss-of-use amount may be updated if rental rates change; the amount applicable to the renter is the rate stated in the rental agreement or applicable rental terms.
Documentation
When applicable, damage and loss of use may be documented through:
- Photos and videos
- Vehicle inspection reports
- Repair estimates
- Repair invoices
- Body-shop records
- Towing invoices
- Dates the vehicle was removed from service
- Dates the vehicle was returned to service
Upon request, reasonable supporting documentation may be provided to the renter.
Insurance / LDW / CDW
Current optional coverage pricing is $25 per rental day for LDW, $20 per rental day for CDW, or $40 per rental day for the recommended LDW + CDW Bundle. The bundle's regular combined price is $45 per rental day and includes a $5 per rental day discount.
If the renter purchases or has access to insurance, a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), or another protection product, coverage is subject to its specific terms, conditions, limitations, exclusions, and applicable deductible. A damage waiver or insurance product does not automatically eliminate responsibility for loss of use, deductibles, towing, administrative expenses, or other charges unless the applicable coverage specifically provides otherwise. LDW/CDW is not personal auto insurance and does not automatically provide bodily injury, personal injury protection, or third-party liability coverage unless specifically stated in the applicable policy or protection product.
No duplicate recovery
PC Elite Rentals will not seek duplicate recovery for the same loss. If an insurer or another responsible party pays PC Elite Rentals for a particular repair cost or loss-of-use amount, that payment will be credited or otherwise accounted for against any corresponding amount owed by the renter.
Unauthorized use
If damage occurs while the vehicle is being used in violation of the rental agreement, including but not limited to:
- Unauthorized drivers
- Racing or speed-related events
- Reckless driving
- Off-road use
- Intentional abuse
- Prohibited commercial use
- Use in violation of the mileage terms
- Any other prohibited use stated in the rental agreement
the renter may remain responsible for applicable damages and reasonable loss-of-use charges to the extent permitted by law.
