Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection – CDWTP: This is an optional coverage which reduces the customer's financial responsibility in case of damage to the hire vehicle or theft/fire, up to the excess amount*. If Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection (CDWTP) is not included in the reservation, the renter has full liability for the vehicle. CDWTP is also available for purchase.
CDWTP does not provide any coverage for damage to the underside of the vehicle, interior of the vehicle, windscreens, mirrors or tyres. The customer is liable for the full cost of the vehicle if this coverage product is not purchased.
A police statement must be presented to the hire company in the event of an accident. Without a police report, the client is fully liable for damages. The customer assumes full responsibility if the damage caused is due to infringement of the road circulation code.
If not included in the reservation and before purchasing CDWTP, 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 CDWTP is declined, the renter will be required to pay these charges up to the Damage Waiver excess amount and seek compensation through their carrier of personal coverage. CDWTP is not insurance.
