Collision Damage waiver and theft protection- CDWTP- is offered at the time of rental for an additional daily charge ranging between 20 CHF and 30 CHF per day plus vat and an excess amount. If the renter purchaces CDWTP, Alamo reduces the renters responsibility for theft, loss of, or damage to, the rental vehicle including but not limited to – towing, storage, loss of use, administrative and-or diminished value of the rental vehicle – subject to the terms and conditions of the rental agreement and applicable laws. CDWTP is not insurance. The purchase of CDWTP is not a required condition of rental. The protection provided by CDWTP may duplicate the renters existing coverage and Alamo is not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the renters existing coverage. Therefore, the renter should examine their personal credit card protections, automobile insurance policies or other sources of coverage which may duplicate the protection provided by CDWTP. In all cases, CDWTP does not cover the renter for damages caused by driver negligence or legal violation. In these cases the renter will be liable for the entire financial loss incurred by the lessor.
