If CDW/TP is not included in the reservation, the renter has liability for up to the full market value of the vehicle. CDW/TP is available for purchase if not included in the booking.

If included in the reservation, the excess amounts range between 600 EUR and 3500 EUR depending on the car class. Excess will be charged every time that a vehicle is damaged.

Before purchasing CDW/TP, it is advisable to determine if the renter's personal coverage is adequate to cover damage, theft, loss of revenue, administration fees, diminishment of value, and any towing, storage or impound fees. If CDW/TP is declined, the renter will be required to pay these charges and seek compensation through their carrier of personal coverage. You must comply with all the rental terms and conditions to receive the benefits of CDW/TP. CDW/TP is not insurance.
