Should I buy the counter insurance?

Rental desks push a super-CDW / excess waiver that is usually the most expensive way to get cover. Check before you reach the desk.

Figures are typical, approximate 2026 benchmarks for a standard car, not quotes. Counter super-CDW, standalone excess policies and card cover vary by supplier, car class and date, so always confirm the exact figure at booking. This tool compares the damage/excess waiver only, not compulsory third-party liability. Built by CarPriceRadar.
