For Your Protection
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. We 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'.

The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. 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 we are successful in recovering the cost of the damages from the Third Party. Please note that Third Party Claims can take months to resolve.

Insurance Options
You are required to take one of the following insurance options:
  • Option 1 : Insurance excess applies
  • Option 2 : Insurance excess reduced, Pay an additional fee per day
  • Option 3 : Insurance excess further reduced, Pay an additionalfee per day
  • Additional Tyre/Windscreen Waiver: Pay an additional fee per day
(Note: Options 1 & 2 do not cover window and tyre damage; Option 3 covers all damage including windows and tyres)

Please see the 'Exclusions' section, whereby all Excess Reduction cover will be made void.

Exclusions
Standard Excess, Excess Reduction Option 1 & 2 for Vehicles, do not cover:
  • a) Water submersion or salt-water damage is not covered by any insurance option
  • b) Personal belongings are not covered. We recommend the hirer does not leave valuables in the vehicle and should take out personal insurance
  • c) All Excess Reduction is void if the terms of the Rental Agreement are breached. The hirer will be responsible for the total cost of any damage. This will also include any damage caused by wilful conduct (e.g sitting or standing on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle) and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • d) The vehicle is wilfully or recklessly damaged by the hirer or any other person named in the Schedule to this agreement or driving the vehicle under the authorisation of the hirer, or is lost as the result of wilful or reckless behaviour of the hirer or any such person. (Note: Punctures, damage to tyres, rims, burning out a clutch and any damage arising from using the vehicle to propel any other vehicle are regarded as wilful or reckless damage)
  • e) None of the insurance options cover the incorrect use of the vehicle, its accessories or fuel (fuel being diesel or petrol). The hirer will be responsible for any associated costs
  • f) The hirer will be responsible for the cost to retrieve or recover a vehicle, which has become bogged, regardless of the insurance options taken
  • g) If the vehicle is operated in any race, speed test, rally or contest, insurance is void
  • h) The hirer is not a body corporate or department of State and the vehicle is driven by any person not named in the Schedule to this agreement
