Damage

What products reduce the amount I have to pay if the vehicle is damaged during the rental?
If you have Damage Waiver (CDW) and the vehicle, keys, any accessories or any vehicle documents are damaged, the amount you have to pay for the damage will be reduced to no more than the excess stated on your rental agreement meaning you will pay for the cost of repair or replacement plus a damage processing fee of Euro 54.70 (VAT and airport surcharges included) or the excess, whichever is less.

It is agreed that the Waiverable Excess (CDW) will be applied to every single damage found on the vehicle which is clearly identified at check-in and that is not related to any other pre-existing damage. In case of multiple damages related to the same event, customer responsibility will be limited to the amount quoted in the Rental Agreement.
