damage waiver
Rental protection document
A damage waiver is an agreement where one party gives up the right to claim compensation for damage.
Most commonly encountered when renting vehicles or equipment: I paid extra for the damage waiver so I wouldn't be liable if I scratched the car.
The waiver typically costs a fee and releases the renter from responsibility for accidental damage, though exclusions often apply for negligence or prohibited use.
