When renting a car in Mauritius, one of the most common questions we hear at Liberta Car Rental is about choosing the right insurance coverage, like the Liberta Premium SCDW full insurance cover, to ensure peace of mind during your trip.

“Do I really need to take the Liberta Premium SCDW full insurance cover?”

It’s a fair question.
Insurance often feels like an extra cost — until something unexpected happens.

This article explains honestly, clearly, and without fine print tricks what the Liberta Premium SCDW (Super Collision Damage Waiver) really covers, how it compares to standard insurance, and whether it’s worth it for you.

A Real-Life Scenario (This Actually Happened)

A client was on holiday in Mauritius 🌴
The car was parked normally under a tree.

A large branch suddenly fell on the vehicle, damaging the roof.

No accident.
No reckless driving.
Just nature.

Because the client had chosen Liberta Premium SCDW, the result was simple:

✅ Zero excess
✅ MUR 0 to pay
✅ No stress, no arguments, no holiday ruined

With standard insurance only, the same client would have paid MUR 25,000 excess — even though it wasn’t their fault.

What Is Liberta Premium SCDW (Full Insurance Cover)?

Liberta Premium SCDW is an optional full insurance upgrade that removes the financial risk from the renter in case of damage, theft, or unexpected incidents.

In simple terms:

👉 Standard insurance = you still pay excess
👉 Liberta Premium SCDW = zero excess, zero surprise

It’s designed for people who want to enjoy Mauritius without constantly worrying about the car.

Is Liberta Premium SCDW Worth It?

Short answer:
For most customers — yes.

Especially if you:

Are on holiday and want peace of mind
Are unfamiliar with Mauritian roads
Park in public areas, beaches, hotels, or nature spots

One small upgrade can protect you from big, stressful expenses.
