What benefits does my USAA membership bring to me in the event of an accident in U.S. in an Avis vehicle?

If the terms of the rental agreement are not violated and the vehicle has been rented from a participating location in the contiguous United States , the following benefits will apply:

In the event of damage to a rental vehicle, the renter's liability for damage to the rental vehicle is limited to the first $5,000 of damage without purchase of a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW).

Avis provides primary liability coverage of $100/$300/$25: $100,000 bodily injury coverage or death per person, to a maximum of $300,000 bodily injury or death for any one accident, and $25,000 property damage for each accident. The liability that will apply to a rental will be whichever is higher, the $100/$300/$25 (listed above) or the state limits.

Avis waives collection of Loss of Use fees. If a vehicle is involved in an accident, the renter is typically responsible for paying for the days their rental vehicle is "out of service". Avis has waived the right to collect these fees for USAA customers renting under the USAA program.

Avis waives collection of Administrative fees. If a vehicle is involved in an accident, the renter is typically responsible for paying a claim processing charge. Most insurance companies do not pay these fees, leaving the renter responsible for payment. Avis has waived the right to collect these fees for USAA customers renting under the USAA program.

Avis waives collection of Diminutions of Value costs. If a vehicle is involved in an accident, the renter is typically responsible for paying for the diminution of vehicle value as caused by the accident. Avis has waived the right to collect these fees for USAA customers renting under the USAA program.
