Hi All,

Flying to San Diego next week and we will be road tripping all over california for 2 weeks. I booked a Group F car with AVIS through BA (bought as a package).

Looking at the voucher, I can see that they have already included CDW. Does this mean that I will be covered with 0 excess for any damage?

I did a similar trip back in 2016 and I remember being taking additional insurance at the counter. Luckily that was very useful as on return, as I racked up about $2k in damages due to hitting some debris on the highway. I ended up just handing the keys back and not having to pay anything as the additional insurance (I think it was the CDW) that covered the damages.

Will I be expected to pay for anything else on pick-up this time?

On my voucher, it states the following inclusions:

Rental Inclusions:
$/Dy Cust. Facility Charge
California Tourism Fee
Fuel Policy Is Full To Full
Veh. License Fee
Third Party Liability (TPL)
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
Unlimited Mileage

I tried contacting AVIS directly but the agent who answered my ticket just kept sending me the same response which didn't answer my questions.

Thanks!
