Insurance Coverage Requirements

Hawaii law requires collision damage coverage for every rental. There are three ways to prove you have it: pick whichever works for you.

Quick version: When you submit a reservation, you'll typically upload your insurance card, but a card alone proves liability only, not collision coverage. Below are the 3 ways you can satisfy the collision requirement, so you don't get stuck at pickup.

Your 3 options for proving collision coverage

OPTION 1

Insurance Declarations Page

Free from your insurance carrier. Shows your full coverage, including collision. Usually available in your insurer's app or by calling your agent.

OPTION 2

Insurance Card + Qualifying Credit Card

Many major credit cards include a free Collision Damage Waiver when you use them to pay for the rental. You still must provide your insurance card to prove liability coverage.

OPTION 3

Insurance Card + Purchase CDW from Baba

You only have to submit a valid insurance card that has your name on it. No credit card required. Add Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) coverage for $15.70/day

How it works →

Option 1: Insurance Declarations Page

A "declarations page" (often called a "dec page") is the one-page summary your insurance company issues with every policy. It lists your vehicle, covered drivers, and the specific coverages you carry, including collision and comprehensive, which are what we need to see. It's free.

How to request it from any carrier: Call your agent or look in your insurer's mobile app for "declarations page," "policy declarations," or "dec page." Most insurers can email or text it to you in minutes.

Don't see your carrier? Every U.S. auto insurance carrier issues a declarations page. The name might vary ("policy declarations," "dec page," "coverage summary"). Call your agent or look in your insurer's app. If they push back, ask specifically for "the document that lists my collision and comprehensive coverage." It's free and takes minutes to send.

Option 2: Insurance Card + Credit Card with Built-in CDW

Many major credit cards include a free Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) when you use that card to pay for the full rental. You'd still upload your insurance card (for liability), and your credit card provides the collision side. For the most current information on your credit card's coverage, check directly with your credit card provider: call the benefits line on the back of the card or log in to your issuer's website. Policies change frequently.

⚠️ Important: verify with your card issuer: Credit card benefits change frequently. The information below is based on what we've confirmed as of early 2026, but terms can be updated at any time. Before relying on card CDW for your rental, call the benefits line on the back of your card or check your issuer's current benefits guide online to confirm coverage is active on your specific card.
Issuer Card CDW Coverage
American Express Platinum Yes (primary option available)
Capital One Quicksilver (World Elite Mastercard) Yes, 31 days
Platinum No coverage
Chase Freedom Unlimited Yes, 31 days
Freedom Flex Yes, 31 days
Sapphire (Preferred / Reserve) Yes, primary coverage
Discover All Discover cards No coverage
Navy Federal Platinum Yes, 15 days
GoRewards Yes, 15 days
cashRewards & cashRewards Plus Yes, 15 days
cashRewards Secured Yes, 15 days
Navy Federal AMEX Yes, 31 days
Flagship Rewards Yes, 15 days
Wells Fargo Active Cash Yes, 15 days
USAA All USAA credit cards Yes, 31 days
Visa Visa Platinum Yes, 15 days
Apple Apple Mastercard No coverage
Important: Credit Card CDW benefits are supplemental, not a substitute for liability insurance. You must upload your insurance card as proof of liability coverage. Use the qualifying card to pay for the rental. That's what activates the coverage. For the most current information on your specific credit card, always check with your credit card provider: call the benefits line on the back of the card or visit your issuer's website.
