A. You are not obliged to purchase DEW (Damage Excess Waiver) when you book your car but, for peace of mind, we strongly advise it. If you are unfortunate enough to damage your car, even slightly, you could be liable to pay the Excess on the insurance. DEW covers the excess amount you may be liable for. You may have to pay the exess to the rental company if the car is damaged but you can fully reclaim the amount upon your return on production of a completed accident report form supplied by the car rental partner.
