Insurance offered & what you need to knowCollision Damage Waiver (CDW)/Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
CDW/LDW waives damage costs with a high excess payable for damages (QAR18,209.97 for cars to QAR27,314.96 for motorhomes.) LDW is CDW + Theft Protection.- Excess payable for any damage is very high.
- CDW is included in your booking.
- Some types of damage are not covered by CDW, for instance some rental companies do not cover windscreens, cracks and chips, tyre punctures & replacements, and damages to headlights and underbody.
- CDW does not cover expensive accident-related fees such as administration, towing and loss of use fees.
Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW)
Super Collision Damage Waiver reduces your remaining excess towards QAR0.00.- Can be purchased for QAR109.26 - QAR163.89 per day.

Cost comparison is in U.S. dollars and is based on online quotes provided by Alamo, Avis and Hertz for an airport pickup and drop-off of a compact car in Boston, Dallas, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Portland for a U.S resident over age 25.
