Booster seats again depending on the child's size are commonly used for children between 3 and 8 years of age. All child restraint equipment is to be fitted by the hirer facing forward, in the appropriate seat/s and cannot be situated on side facing seats. Diesel Tax Recovery Fee
The Diesel Tax Recovery fee is included in the Britz bonus pack. If the bonus pack has not been

Britz reserves the right to amend the Diesel Tax Recovery Fee upon Government intervention. For Your Protection - Vehicle Excess / Insurance
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Britz strongly recommend that
all people travelling in New Zealand take out personal travel insurance.
All vehicles are insured for the damage to the vehicle or to the property of a third party. The hirer is responsible for ('the excess') of the cost of damage to third party property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of the 'exclusions' (see below). This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs. The excess is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident report is completed, not at the completion of the rental. The excess will be refunded if Britz are successful in recovering the cost of the damages from the third party. Please note that third party claims can take months to resolve. The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. Please see the 'exclusions' below, whereby all insurance cover will be made void. Excess Reduction Option 1 When Excess Reduction 1 has been purchased the hirer is responsible for the (the excess) of the cost of damage to third party property or to the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of the 'exclusions'. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs. The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. Please see the 'exclusions' section below, whereby all insurance cover will be made void. Excess Reduction Option 2 When Excess Reduction 2 has been purchased, the hirer will have no excess at all for 2wd vehicles with the exception of the 'exclusions'. In the event of the vehicle hired being a 4wd the hirer will be responsible for (the excess) of the cost of damage to third party property or to the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of the 'exclusions'. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs. The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. Note: Excess Reduction Option 2 is included in the Britz Bonus Pack. No Worries Cover Option (PCO2) The No Worries Cover Option is a one off fee. The No Worries Cover Option is only available when excess reduction 2 has been purchased. Note the No Worries Cover option is included in the Britz Bonus Pack. With the No Worries Cover Option, the hirer will not have to pay any excess at all for any damage to the vehicle or property of a third party with the exception of the 'exclusions'. This will include accidental overhead or underbody damage to the vehicle. Please note overhead and underbody damage cover is excluded unless the No Worries Cover Option has been purchased. Tyre & Windscreen Damage Where the hire has a nil excess up to one windscreen and two tyres will be covered for accidental damage. Should these amounts be exceeded the cost to repair or replace the items will not be covered and will be the responsibility of the hirer. BRITZ STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE NO WORRIES COVER FOR TRAVEL WITH COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND. Exclusions All insurance cover will be made void if any of the following exclusions are breached:
Vehicle Security Deposit Upon vehicle collection, a security deposit is required. The amount is determined by the excess reduction option selected. For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a vehicle security deposit. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the vehicle security deposit upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle. All debited bonds are subject to a 1.5% credit card surcharge in addition to the bond amount. This surcharge is refunded when the bond is refunded. If a bond is retained the surcharge is retained. If an excess reduction option is not selected, the security deposit is NZ$ 5000.00 or NZ$ 1800.00 if the rented vehicle is the Britz Rookie payable by credit card. This debited to the hirer's credit card when the vehicle is collected. For this reason it is important that the hirer have the funds available on the credit card and that the amount does not exceed the hirer's daily withdrawal allowance available on the credit card. If Excess Reduction Option 1 has been taken the security deposit is debited to the hirer's credit card when the vehicle is collected. For this reason it is important that the hirer have the funds available on the credit card and that the amount does not exceed the hirer's daily withdrawal allowance available on the credit card. If Excess Reduction Option 2 is selected with or without No Worries Cover or the package booked is the Bonus Pack the security deposit applies. The amount is taken as an imprint to the hirer's credit card when the vehicle is collected. The security deposit is fully refundable provided the vehicle is returned on time, to the correct location, undamaged, with a clean interior and with full fuel tanks (fuel being petrol or diesel) and gas bottle. Except where the customer has purchased PGO (PGO is included in the Britz bonus pack) and/or Pre Purchase Fuel (PPF), failure to return the vehicle with full petrol or diesel tanks and/or a full LPG bottle will result in refill charges, which will be advised upon return of the vehicle. Soiling Fee Britz reserves the right to retain a cleaning fee if the vehicle is not returned with the interior in a clean condition. The toilet and waste water tank must be emptied prior to the return of the vehicle, or an additional soiling fee will be retained. Cheques Cheques are not an acceptable method in which to supply a vehicle security deposit and will not be accepted. In the instance where the hirer does not hold a credit card for the purpose of the vehicle security deposit or the credit card holder will not be present upon vehicle collection Britz does provide the option to leave the security deposit via cash or travellers cheques or can arrange for a credit card to be debited prior to the rental commencing. It must be advised to Britz at least 14 working days in advance of vehicle collection that a cash or travellers cheque vehicle security bond or a prior credit card debit is required. This cannot be arranged upon vehicle collection. Please note strict guidelines and criteria must be met for cash/travellers cheques vehicle security deposits and prior credit card debits. Please contact reservations for more information if required. FOR SECURITY PURPOSES BRITZ STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF CREDIT CARDS FOR VEHICLE SECURITY DEPOSITS. Exchange Rates All credit card transactions are conducted in New Zealand dollars. Due to exchange rate fluctuations and/or bank transaction fees there could be some variance in the amount refunded compared to the amount initially charged. Britz does not accept any liability for variances up or down. Credit Cards The credit card holder will be jointly and severally liable as a customer. Accepted credit cards are Visa Card, MasterCard and American Express. A non-refundable 1.5% surcharge will apply to all credit card transactions. The exception to this is credit card surcharges, which apply to debited security bonds. In this instance, the surcharge is refunded when the bond is refunded. If a bond is retained the surcharge is retained. Personal / Company Cheques Personal and company cheques will not be accepted as payment for rentals at the time of pick-up. These must be received by Britz 14 working days prior to commencement of the hire/s. Calculation Errors Britz will not honour calculation errors. Should a calculation error occur Britz will charge for the shortfall. Licence A current and full motor vehicle driver's licence is required and must be produced upon vehicle collection. Should a foreign licence be in a language other then English it must be accompanied by a current international driving permit issued in the same country as the driver's licence was issued.

Additional Products / Services To be booked at time of reservation:
Rental Duration Rental days are charged per calendar day. When calculating the number of days a vehicle is rented, the day of pick-up is counted as day one of the rental. The day of the vehicle's return is counted as the final day of the rental. Vehicles are required to be collected and returned within business hours unless arranged otherwise. Minimum rental period is 5 days with the exception of the Britz Rookie which has a minimum rental period of 3 days when the pick up and return location are the same. Hires with a collection date between 23 Dec and 10 Jan, which require a minimum rental period of 10 days. Minimum rental period is subject to change during peak periods. These rates and terms may not apply to rentals exceeding 100 days, which includes multihires. Requests for quotes/bookings of more than 100 days should be directed first to reservations. Late pick-up or early return of vehicle does not entitle the hirer to any refund of the unused portion of the rental. If a customer wishes to extend the rental whilst on hire, they must first obtain authorisation from reservations or any of the Britz branches. The rental extension is subject to vehicle availability. The cost of an extended rental must be paid by credit card over the telephone on confirmation of the rental extension. The rate charged will not reflect the original rate booked. Failure to obtain authorisation will result in a daily fee in addition to the daily rate. Road Restrictions 2wd campervans can only be driven on sealed/bitumen or well-maintained roads. 4wd campervans can also be driven on some recognised unsealed roads, please contact reservations for more information. No vehicle shall be driven on Skippers Road (Queenstown), Ninety Mile Beach (Northland), Ball Hut Road (Mt Cook) and North of Colville Township (Coromandel Peninsula), and Tapu-Coroglen Road (Coromandel Peninsula).

Subject to the change being approved, an additional charge may apply. Booking Amendments All amendments to bookings are subject to availability of vehicle and/or package. Different rates may apply based on the amendment made. Multiple Rentals Should a customer have more than one consecutive rental they can be combined to qualify for longer-term hire discounts off the vehicle rate. Consecutive campervan hire in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and/or consecutive car hire in New Zealand for both Britz and Maui can be combined to qualify if the vehicle collection date/s are within a 3-month period. For all rentals to qualify each booking needs to be made at the same time. If a customer makes another booking at a later time, the new booking can be combined to qualify if the vehicle collection date/s are within a 3-month period however, the original booking/s will only qualify for a discount if the booking/s are not already travelling or travelled. Note that 2wd car hire in Australia cannot be combined with any campervan or New Zealand car hire to qualify for longer-term discounts. Longer-term discounts must be requested at the time of booking. For campervans that pick up and drop off on the same day, the less expensive rental day will be free of charge. This also applies to the excess reduction option or the Britz bonus pack if applicable. If multiple hires are within the same country and total days exceed 50 days only the maximum charge applicable to the excess reduction option or the Britz bonus pack will apply. If combining a vehicle hire with another Britz vehicle that has a more expensive bonus pack or excess reduction option, the more expensive bonus pack/excess reduction maximum cost is applied. In the instance where a Britz hire is being combined with a Maui hire and the packages have either the bonus pack or the premium pack these components cannot be combined to have a maximum charge applied however the vehicle rate can have a longer-term discount applied if applicable. Special rates may be available for hires of more than 50 days upon application. If multiple hires total more than 100 days these rates and terms do not apply. Requests for quotes/bookings of more than 100 days should be directed first to reservations.

The administration fee per fine, in addition to the fine, will apply. Customer Care / On-Road Assistance Any problems associated with the vehicle, including equipment failure, must be reported to Britz as soon as possible and within 24 hours in order to give Britz the opportunity to rectify the problem during the rental.

For amounts over a pre-determined amount Britz will need to be informed in advance. Repairs will be approved provided the customer was not directly responsible for the damage. Receipts must be submitted for any repair or the claim will not be paid.
