The standard damage and theft cover (DW) is a protection product which reduces the financial responsibility of the renter up to the excess amount specified on the rental agreement.
If this protection product is not included in the reserved rate, the renter has full financial responsibility for the vehicle.
Third-party liability cover is always included as standard, even when DW is not part of the reserved rate.
Depending on the car class*, an excess of between 1,400 EUR and 2,500 EUR per incident is applicable and comprises the following:
- Damage/collision cover
- Theft waiver
If you wish to further lower your excess in the event of damage and/or theft, other optional protection products are available for purchase at an additional cost.
