  • Transfer the credit to a friend: Give your voucher to a friend. They can take over the payments on your original item or get up to three month off a previously rented item.

    Benefits/LDW

    Liability Damage Waiver (LDW) is an optional program that protects you from liability in the event your rental product is stolen or damaged due to natural disaster, fire or smoke. Without LDW, you are responsible for the cost to repair or replace the stolen or damaged merchandise . By paying a small fee with each rental payment, you pass this responsibility on to Rent-A-Center, so you can breathe easy!
    LDW protects you from a wide range of unexpected events, such as theft, fire, lightning, flooding and other acts of nature. It does not cover loss or damage from abuse or carelessness.
    LDW protection is available to all customers with a current agreement, in all states excluding California
    Most customers still benefit from LDW even if they have homeowners or renters insurance. Many insurance policies have high deductibles and may not cover rental products. We recommend you check if your insurance will cover the cost to replace or repair rental merchandise and consider the amount of your deductible when deciding whether LDW is right for you and your budget.
    In most states, the Liability Damage Waiver is only 10% of your rental payment. Contact your local store for your state's pricing.
    Whether you’re starting a new rental agreement or you’re already a customer, you can opt in to LDW anytime before a loss occurs. Contact your local store to add the Liability Damage Waiver to your agreement. It only takes a few minutes.
    Simply contact your local store . If your product is damaged, we will attempt to repair it. If your product is stolen, we will ask you to provide a police report.
    Yes. If you want to stop payments on your Liability Damage Waiver, just let a store associate know. There are no fees or penalties for changing your mind
    RAC Benefits Plus is an optional add on to your rental agreement. Membership provides a host of money saving opportunities for items you would purchase anyway. Member benefits vary by state, but these are a few examples of what may be available where you live
