Coverage: Choosing the Right Protection for Your Rental
Driving a truck or larger van can take a little getting used to, especially if it’s your first time behind the wheel of something bigger. Having the right level of coverage in place can give you one less thing to think about while you’re on the road.

Every Thrifty booking automatically includes Basic Protection, which covers damage to the rental vehicle as well as third-party property loss ( damage caused to someone else’s vehicle or property). Glass and tyre coverage and basic theft protection are also included.
For extra peace of mind, you can add a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or Maximum Damage Waiver (MDW). An LDW reduces the amount you may be liable to pay if the vehicle is damaged or lost, while an MDW reduces that liability even further. The amount varies depending on the type of vehicle you hire.
For example, if you were involved in an accident that damaged both your rental vehicle and another car, Basic Protection limits how much you may have to pay, while LDW or MDW can reduce that amount further. Coverage is subject to the rental terms and exclusions, so it’s important to check what applies to your booking.
