If you decline CDW, you are responsible up to the full market value of the vehicle. CDW does not cover any third party`s or unauthorized driver’s. Theft, glass, tires, acts of God, and fees associated with the collection of the damages are not covered. Any incidents must be reported to local Police and a case number provided. Failure to do so will void CDW. CDW does not have a deductible.

Online travel sites and Credit Cards offer their own version of CDW and/or Liability Coverage. If you choose to select one of these products, please bring confirmation or proof of coverage to show at the counter.
