Vehicle Hire Excess Insurance is also referred to in the industry as CDW, or Collision Damage Waiver, or sometimes Loss Damage Waiver, or LDW.

This insurance when purchased through the rental company you hire your vehicle from usually comes with a hefty price tag. In the instance of your vehicle being stolen or damaged in an accident, the person who rented the vehicle will be required to pay the first part of the loss, known as the “excess”.
