What Is a Collision Damage Waiver?

Car rental agencies offer an optional collision damage waiver (CDW), which helps pay for damage to the rented car. This waiver is sometimes called a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or Physical Damage Waiver. The waiver’s cost depends on various factors, including the rental car type and where the vehicle is being driven.

How Does a Collision Damage Waiver Work?

A car rental company will typically offer a collision damage waiver when you reserve the automobile or pick up the rental car. If you choose not to get CDW, you shall stick with the default insurance with excess up to RM5,000.

If you want to purchase a collision damage waiver, you’ll pay an additional 10% daily fee on top of the rental car fee (any promotion price will follow refer to normal rate's 10%).

 

With the waiver, if the car is damaged, the agency waives 90% its fees for repairing the car and any loss of use charges that add up while the rental vehicle undergoes repairs.
