CDW included
CDW is included in the quote. The renter remains responsible up to the category-specific excess for covered damage.
CDW compared with FDW
Two cover choices with different excess
FDW optional
FDW costs €12 per rental day and provides zero excess for damage covered by the agreement.
No deposit blocked
The insurance excess is not blocked as a card security hold. Payment-method requirements are confirmed separately.
Important limitations
Zero excess does not mean every type of damage is covered
Tires, wheels, the underside, interior damage, off-road or prohibited-track use and damage connected to traffic-law violations are excluded. The written quote and rental agreement remain the final description of cover.
For a broader explanation, read the insurance and excess guide and the collection-document guide.
Deposit and payment
Keep the insurance hold separate from the payment method
No deposit blocked means the category excess is not frozen on a credit card. It does not automatically promise every payment method. Cash, debit-card or pay-on-arrival requests must be confirmed in writing.
The website does not collect card details or take online payment. Read the no credit-card hold guide and no-deposit explanation.
