I rented a car from a car rental company at LAX airport and opted for loss damage waiver insurance. If anything happens to the car, my fault or otherwise, I walk away without any liability. Someone hit the car in a parking lot, and I filed a police report and notified the rental car company. The rental car company said they would investigate and claimed that someone said I hit them. My personal insurance company found that I was not liable but still paid to repair the rental car. At this juncture, is the rental car company required to return my deposit, not require repair through my personal insurance company as I am not liable, and honor the loss damage waiver insurance policy that I opted for? What would you advise?
