In the event of an insurance claim, Collision/Excess Damage Waiver – or CDW/EDW, as it is also known – can reduce your deposit/excess, or protect you from losing your deposit all together, depending on the vehicle class you have hired. This can be taken out with an additional payment at the time of hire. Please note, however, that CDW/EDW does not cover you for the loss of, or damage to: tyres, wheels, keys, audio equipment or fuel contamination nor does it cover theft of contents.
CDW/EDW is ONLY available to drivers holding a Full UK licence, aged 25 years and over hiring vans, commercials, cars and 7/9 seaters. CDW/EDW availability is also subject to the driver having a satisfactory driving record. The cost for this option can be advised at the time of hire.
CDW/EDW in NOT available to Non UK licence holders, as we are unable to check for driving endorsements / restrictions.
Collision/Excess Damage Waiver cover is for ONE single incident / accident only, the full deposit will need to be paid should another vehicle be required after an accident / theft.
