As the rental-car companies -- at least in the U.S. -- are quick to point out, LDW (loss/damage waiver) is not insurance; it is simply a waiver of the rental-car company's right to pursue the renter in the event that loss or certain types of damage occur while the car is rented to the renter.

See, for example:

and

(Again, I have no idea if LDW is treated differently in Europe.)
