Rental car insurance, explained
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is usually included in the price, but it comes with an excess (deductible): the amount you still pay if the car is damaged. It can easily be over $1,000.
At the counter, you'll be offered extra cover that cuts the excess to zero. It's convenient but often costs a lot per day, so it's worth deciding before you arrive.
Third-party liability covers damage you cause to other people and property. Check the minimum included in your rental, especially for long road trips.
Before you drive away, photograph every side of the car and the fuel level, and keep the photos until your deposit is returned.
