Insurance
Dutch term or phrase: afkoop van eigen risico
'Eigen risico' zou ik vertalen door 'excess', maar hoe zouden jullie de term 'afkoop van eigen risico' vertalen?
Context: 'Brandstofkosten, afkoop eigen risico en eventuele verzekeringen komen voor rekening van de berijder.'

collision damage waiver (CDW)
Explanation:
In terms of car rentals, 'afkoop eigen risico' is a collision damage waiver, often abbreviated to CDW. It is effectively an additional insurance through which you reduce the excess payable in the event of damage to the vehicle to zero (or a low amount).
