Know your costs are under control
At GetGo, we’re always here to support you through every drive. We know incidents can happen, so we offer Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) options to cap your out-of-pocket costs and keep repairs fair and transparent.
Cut your costs with CDW
With CDW, your repair costs are capped, giving you peace of mind every time you drive.
Choose your cover
Pick Standard or Enhanced CDW — two tiers designed to fit your comfort level and budget.
Added cover, added confidence
Auto insurance is required by law, but CDW goes further — adding protection to keep costs under control.
An easy add-on
Just select your preferred CDW tier when booking — simple, fast, and reassuring.
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
An add-on that caps how much you’ll pay for repairs. To help safeguard yourself, we strongly encourage all GetGoers to opt-in for a CDW tier that suits your needs.
If you’re an experienced driver, here’s how your out-of-pocket repair costs will be capped in the event of an accident.
Without CDW
You may pay full repair fees of up to $6,600
Standard CDW
Your repair cost is capped at $2,300
($1,150 for Third-Party Damage and Own Damage each)

Enhanced CDW

CDW does not cover Loss of Use and admin fees. These values are only for experienced drivers driving all vehicle categories except Luxury.
Know how to stay in control
With the Vehicle Condition Report (VCR), it’s easy to capture the car’s condition before and after, so the booking record reflects your drive — not theirs.
Completing it is simple! Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough on how to do it.
Recap for completing your Vehicle Condition Report
Snap before and after
Quickly capture the car’s condition at the start and end of your trip — all through VCR.
Cover all angles
Front, back, and both sides — take clear photos and upload them straight into the app.
Keep a copy
Your photos are saved to your phone automatically, so you’ll always have them handy.
Use your buffer time
Make good use of the 15-minute grace period before and after your booking to complete your VCR.
We review your photos
Our team references your before-and-after photos to assess the car’s condition — keeping the record clear for your trip.
Know what you’re paying for
Transparency is what drives us at GetGo. That’s why our pricing is clear and simple — no surprises, just straightforward costs you can see upfront.
