Insurance offered & what you need to knowCollision Damage Waiver (CDW)/Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)

- 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 EU€0.00.- Can be purchased for EU€28.76 - EU€43.14 per day.
