CarHireExcess.co.uk offers Collision Damage Waiver up to $100,000.
What is Collision Damage Waiver?
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is included as standard in the Worldwide Car Hire Excess Insurance policy, whether it's an Annual or Daily policy. It applies on trips around the USA and Canada, as well as the Caribbean, South and Central America. This cover provides protection against losses incurred as a result from damage to the rental vehicle caused by fire, vandalism, accident or volcanic ash cloud. It also offers cover for theft, including unrecoverable theft, which is called Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) as well.
Do I Need Collision Damage Waiver?
Car hire insurance is not always required by law in the USA and Canada, as well as other countries in North, Central and South America. Still, it's highly beneficial to have appropriate Collision Damage Waiver cover in place before you travel. This way, you don't take the risk of being left with hugely expensive bills for certain damages and losses in case you get involved in a car accident.
