Collision Damage Waiver Collision Damage Waiver–Theft Protection (CDW-TP) is not insurance. The purchase of CDW is mandatory and is required in order to rent a vehicle.

You may purchase mandatory CDW-TP for an additional fee. If you purchase CDW-TP, we agree, subject to the actions listed on the rental agreement that invalidate CDW, to contractually waive your responsibility for all or part of the cost of damage to, loss or theft of the vehicle. A CDW-TP deductible of $2000 apply.

CDW-TP is mandatory unless renter's credit card has CDW coverage. In order to decline CDW-TP, proof of credit card coverage is required. If CDW-TP is declined, renter is responsible for the full value of damage to the vehicle.
