Insurance and Bond Waiver
Standard insurance is compulsory. Unless stated in supplementary documentation this is
to be paid on pick up. A credit card imprint or cash bond is required on all hires to
cover the Vehicle Security Guarantee regardless of level of insurance taken. 21-24 year
olds have the option to take level 2 if they choose Insurance levels 2 and 3 are capped to
a maximum of 50 days. Please note this insurance is charged per incident not per hire.
Therefore the excess (all or part thereof) will be charged per incident. Bankcard not
accepted
Vehicle Security Deposit
(Effective for travel commencing 1 September 2006)
Clients are responsible for the first NZ$4,500 of vehicle damage and/or loss of the
motorhome contents. This vehicle security deposit is to cover the application of an
insurance excess for damage to the vehicle, third party or property damage in the event of
an accident, a bond to ensure that the vehicle is returned undamaged to the correct
location, on time, refuelled, in a clean and tidy condition with no missing or damaged
items, emptying the waste water and toilet and as security against any traffic
infringements and associated costs.
Refer to (2) below for a waiver option available for the insurance excess only.
A credit card imprint (this is an imprint only, no funds are taken from the clients
account unless there is damage or loss) is required on all rental agreements regardless of
the waiver option being taken. In the absence of a credit card, the operator requires a
cash security deposit of NZ$4,500 for all rentals regardless of age.
This credit card imprint or cash will be held for 21 days after the return of the
motorhome.
