Collision Damage WaiverAsk yourself this: Say you were to have an at-fault crash, or not even that, the car gets stolen, a tree falls on it, it is impaled by hail stones, it gets vandalized, or it is hit by an uninsured driver, would you happen to have the money to cover the book value of the car which could easily cost thousands perhaps tens of thousands of dollars? When I rented from Enterprise, my insurance told me that I only had liability to cover other cars in case of an At Fault crash, and any other damage to the car including at fault crash damage would be my responsibility. So check with your credit card companies, some offer collision damage waiver coverage (CDW) as an added benefit or check your current auto insurance company if you have one to see what you are covered under. In my opinion, CDW offers peace of mind because even though you may not damage the car yourself, any damage not caused directly by you will be covered by CDW.

what is the insurance needed when renting a car?

First, if you have comprehensive and collision coverage on your own vehicle then check with your own insurance carrier to see if that will automatically extend to the vehicle you will be renting (as that would save you a lot of money). If it does not extend (and you have liability insurance) then you will need to get the rental company's property damage insurance (sometimes called collision damage waiver).


Is collision damage waiver the same as under insured motorist protection?

CDW/LDW is a waiver, the rental car companies agrees not to go after the renter for any damages to the rental car (regardless of fault) if you purchase the waiver for a daily fee. As long as the renter does not violate the contract. If someone else is at fault they will then go after that person. It only covers the rental car, nothing else is covered
