If you chose a rate that includes CDW Insurance- this cover reduces your financial liability for damage caused to the vehicle from the full value of the vehicle to the value of the excess which will apply at all times, ranging from € 900 to € 1800 depending on the vehicle type. Excess Deductible All vehicles have an excess/deductible amount as follows:
