Partial Collision Damage Waiver (PCDW) for your car rental in Martinique

When you rent a car in Martinique, an excess may remain payable if the vehicle is damaged. This is the maximum amount you could have to pay for covered damage. With Partial Collision Damage Waiver (PCDW), you can reduce this amount if the option is available for your chosen vehicle, subject to the terms of your rental agreement.

Why choose Partial Collision Damage Waiver?

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) already limits your financial liability if the vehicle is damaged. PCDW lets you further reduce the amount that could remain payable for damage covered by the option.

This allows you to choose your level of protection before you set off, knowing the excess amount associated with your booking.

Which costs could you still have to pay?

PCDW reduces the excess but does not remove it. If covered damage occurs, an amount may therefore remain payable, up to the excess applicable to your rental.

Certain situations and types of damage remain excluded from this protection, including:

  • lost keys or keys locked inside the vehicle, and any resulting costs;

  • damage caused by using the wrong fuel;

  • damage to tyres, including punctures;

  • damage to the upper or underside of the vehicle;

  • damage resulting from use of the vehicle that breaches the rental terms and conditions.

For full details of the applicable exclusions, please read the rental terms and conditions and the information shown for your vehicle during booking.

How do you choose Partial Collision Damage Waiver?

When booking on the Europcar Martinique website, select your vehicle and go to the “Protections & options” step. If PCDW is available for your chosen vehicle category, you can select it from the additional protections.

The daily price and reduced excess amount are displayed before you confirm your booking. You can also view the details of the protection to check what is covered and what could remain payable.
