Collision damage waiver

How it is used

Often abbreviated CDW; read the agreement for exclusions and any remaining excess instead of assuming all damage is covered.

Example sentences

1. The collision damage waiver reduced our exposure, but the agreement still listed an excess.

   The provision can limit liability without eliminating every possible payment.

2. I asked whether the collision damage waiver included damage to the tyres.

   A specific type of damage may need separate clarification in the terms.
