Car Rental Insurance Explained
Understanding insurance is key when renting a car:
- Basic Insurance (CDW): included in most rentals, covers damage but with excess.
- Theft Protection: protects against vehicle theft.

Always check the excess amount and consider full coverage to avoid unexpected charges.
