Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection (CDWTP) is an optional coverage that reduces the liability of the renter in the event of theft, attempted theft or damage to the bodywork of the vehicle, provided that the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. If CDWTP is not included in the reservation, the renter has full liability for the vehicle. CDWTP is available for purchase if not included in the booking. If included in the reservation, the excess amount ranges between 1,500 CHF and 3,000 CHF (excl. VAT) depending on the car class. Excess will be charged every time a vehicle is damaged or the vehicle is stolen. Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection (CDWTP) is not insurance.

All rentals where the vehicle is not returned to the same location as it was collected from will be subject to a one-way fee. The one-way fee varies based on car category, location and pick-up date. The exact amount of the one-way fee will be displayed during the reservation process when entering the dates, desired route and car category.
