Damage cover protects you in the event of accidental damage or theft of the vehicle. It is generally included in your rental cost (DW) and means that your financial liability is limited in the event of a problem. Without taking out a DW, all damage (in the event of an accident) or the value of the vehicle (in the event of theft) will be charged to you.
If you want to reduce this amount (known as the "deductible"), you can take out additional cover, EP, which lets you reduce your deductible to 0 €.
