Collision Damage Waiver Insurance

If you are used to renting cars you will be familiar with Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). If you don't know what it means, in a nutshell CDW will cover you for most damage which occurs to the vehicle. You should however be aware that CDW has a lot of clauses and won't cover certain areas of damage.

CDW Insurance

Collision Damage won't cover you for any damage to the windscreen, tyres, roof or under body of your car; it also won't include any damage caused by fire, vandalism or theft. These are all areas easily damaged in even a minor accident and repair costs may be high. We feel these are pretty important aspects of your car, after all is a car even a car if it doesn't have wheels, a roof, a windscreen or an under body? Our Gold policy includes Loss Damage Waiver which is a more comprehensive form of cover and covers ALL parts of your vehicle should anything happen to it including damage caused by fire, theft or vandalism.
