CDW Insurance for Car Hire

Can it be bought in Sweden?

I'm hiring a car in Sicily at the end of the month. They want to charge me €17 per day for CDW cover. In the UK you can buy CDW cover for any car hire for about €5 per day (see link) but you must hold a UK driving license. I surrounded mine for a Swedish one last year.

Are there any Swedish companies that offer similar policies?

Check with the car hire company - some include CDW automaticallly as in Sweden this has to be included in the price

I one had this argument with Alamo hire cars at Heathrow London - CDW seemed to be a nice little earner for the office there - yet my Swedish contract stated clearly that it was included in the (very cheap) price cool.gif

Thanks Puffin.

I found a UK insurer that offers a blanket annual policy for about £39 for all EU citizens. As you state most car hire companies see this a method of increasing their margins.,
