When driving in the US it is essential to be adequately insured. In order to be adequately protected we recommend you purchase the Collision Damage Waiver and Extended Protection included in our Comprehensive and Fully-Inclusive Car Insurance options.

Extended Protection (EP) provides up to $1m for claims made against authorised drivers of the rental vehicle for automobile related third party injury/death and property damage. In addition it gives $1m coverage for accidental death or injury to the authorised renter(s) or passengers should they be hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) protects you against damage to or loss of your Alamo car, as long as the terms of the rental contract are not violated.

Insurance can be purchased locally but for your convenience, and for savings of up to £50 on a 2 week holiday, we recommend you pre-purchase our insurance options before you go.

Pre-book our Gold option to pre-purchase up to 3 extra drivers and a tank of fuel, in addition to Taxes, CDW and EP.

If the car or van type of your choice is not showing available in our system, please call our reservation professionals on 0844 557 4040 for assistance.
