I think my credit card package automatically affords me Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) cover so do I need an Odyssey policy?

You should check the policy wording provided by your credit card company carefully. It may not cover the country in which you are intending to hire. It may have an excess. It may not apply in respect of damage to windows, tyres, the undercarriage and the roof.
