What is the cost of the Collision Damage Waiver insurance (CDW) options and are they recommended?
Third party insurance is not compulsory in New Zealand so we recommend the Collision Damage Waiver option for total peace of mind. The CDW on cars is NZ$10.00 per day and for 4WD and People movers this is NZ$15.00 per day and reduces the insurance excess (deductible) liability to zero and also covers the windscreen.
