• Personal effects coverage - provides protection against loss or theft of personal belongings from the rental car. You need to check before if it is included in your car rental policy.
• Additional liability insurance is an optional insurance that protects the renter against claims made by third parties.
• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW). If a rental car is damaged, the renter may be responsible for amount of money for damage (the deductible) up to the full price of the car. By purchasing CDW, the renter is released from responsibility of any loss or damage to a vehicle up to the full value of the car.

Determine whether or not you need CDW/LDW before you arrive at the rental counter in San Francisco.
