Protect your interests on the road from just $5.45/day!

What does CDW cover?

We know that accidents are costly, even with accident-related costs coverage. That’s why we’ve introduced Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), exclusively for our GrabRentals hirer-partners!

From 18-Mar-2021, hirer-partners who sign a contract with GrabRentals and opt-into the CDW scheme will see accident-related costs and other relevant amounts payable reduced by 93%, which means you could possibly pay as low as $203.74. No more hefty costs!

We will also provide you with a free replacement vehicle, subjected to availability.

All these from just $5.45/day!

Main-hirer or relief driver under 21 years old:

The main hirer or authorized relief driver who is under the age of 21 years old will have to pay an additional $1,635 on top of the charges stated above.

In the event of a vehicle breakdown:

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Vehicle Damage Protection Scheme (VDP) are add-on services covered throughout the entire period of rental contract. In the event of vehicle breakdown, there will be no reimbursement for add-on services.
