We image local superfluid density in single crystals of Pd-intercalated ErTe_{3} below the superconducting critical temperature T_{c}, well below the onset temperature T_{CDW} of (disordered) charge-density-wave order. We find no detectable inhomogeneities on micron scales. We observe a rapid increase of the superfluid density below T_{c}, deviating from the behavior expected in a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor, and show that the temperature dependence is qualitatively consistent with a combination of quantum and thermal phase fluctuations.
