Can you use your own insurance for Avis?

What is Avis LDW?
A Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) waives or limits your liability when a car you have rented is lost or damaged. You benefit from maximum protection as long as you comply with the Avis rental agreement. Renters who have paid for an LDW will not have to cover expenses related to the car’s damage.
Can I fix a rental car before returning it?
The result however is that you will be liable for the cost of the repair, either from the rental agent if you return the car damaged, or from having it repaired before you return.
