Hassle-Free Walk-Away Hassle-Free Walk-AwayCDW (Collision Damage Waiver) provided by Globe is a hassle-free walk-away coverage. This is the best choice of coverage because it exonerates your responsibility in the event of a collision regardless of fault. Note: you will be subject to $500 deductible unless you choose PAP package which reduces your responsibility to $0. Credit Cards require lengthy claims form, about a dozen supporting documents and average 6 months to settle. Personal Car Insurance requires you to open a claim directly with your car rental insurance company; similar if you had the accident with your own car. You will be also liable for the deductible and risk insurance premium increase the following year (and every year after that). |

Personal Car Insurance also has a limitation based on the value of your personal car. So, if the rented vehicle has a higher value (different class) than your own car, any difference in loss value may fall on the driver. |
