For your protection
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Supplier does not accept any liability for personal injuries sustained during the rental, nor for any loss or damage to any personal belongings or property of the Customer (or any person or entity related to the Customer). Supplier strongly recommends the Customer takes out personal travel insurance to cover any injury or loss.
Vehicle damage – Liability and Liability Reduction Option
The Customer understands that:
(a) the Vehicle is insured for third party vehicle and property damage;
(b) the Customer will have to pay for the first NZ$5,000 for the HiTop and Voyager or NZ$7,500 for all other campervans of the cost of any Damage incurred whilst the Vehicle is in the Customers possession (or the total cost of Damage, if below clause applies);
(c) the Customers liability for Damage may be reduced by taking out the Liability Reduction Option.
The Customer will be responsible for the total cost of any Damage, and the Liability Reduction Option (if taken) will be void, if:
(a) the Customer breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, and that breach is the cause of or contributes to the relevant Damage; or
(b) the Damage is covered by any of the exclusions set out below
If the Liability Reduction Option is not taken, the Customer must pay the Liability Deposit to cover the first NZ$5,000 for the HiTop and Voyager or NZ$7,500 for all other campervans of the cost of any Damage.
The customer must provide a valid credit card to pay the Liability Deposit and the amount will be debited to the customer’s credit card on the day of vehicle collection. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the Liability Deposit upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle. Any type of pre-paid travel card is not acceptable as a means to provide a Liability Deposit.
The Liability Deposit is subject to a 2% credit card administration fee in addition to the Liability Deposit amount when the credit card used is either a Visa or MasterCard, or 4.6% when the credit card used is American Express. The credit card administration fees are subject to change.
The Liability Deposit is fully refundable, including the credit card surcharge, if the card used to provide the Liability Deposit is a Visa or MasterCard credit card, provided the Vehicle is returned undamaged. Britz recommend that customers use a Visa or MasterCard credit card for the Liability Deposit, as the credit card administration fee that applies when using American Express is not refundable.
If the Customer does not take out the Liability Reduction Option then, where the Customer is at fault, the Customer is responsible for the cost of the Damage (up to NZ$5,000 for the HiTop and Voyager and NZ$7,500 for all other campervans) at the time the accident report is completed, not at the completion of the Rental Period. An amount equal to the cost of the Damage will be deducted from the Liability Deposit (which would otherwise be refundable). Upon written request, Supplier will provide the Customer with an itemised bill of any amounts deducted from the Liability Deposit.
If the Customer does not take out the Liability Reduction Option then, if it is not clear at the time the
accident report is completed whether the Customer was at fault, no amounts will be deducted from the Liability Deposit at that time but the Liability Deposit will:
(a) be held by Supplier and only refunded to the Customer upon a determination by the relevant insurance company that the Customer was not at fault in relation to the Damage;
(b) be deducted by Supplier in the amount equal to the cost of the Damage caused by the Customer upon a determination by Suppliers insurance company that the Customer was at fault in relation to the Damage.
The Customers liability for the first NZ$5,000 for the HiTop and Voyager or NZ$7,500 for all other campervans of the cost of any Damage applies in respect of each claim, not each rental.
Damage includes any and all damage to third party property, and any and all damage to the rented Vehicle including windscreens, tyres, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break in or vandalism. The costs of any damage will include the cost of repairing the damage, and the cost of the daily rental rate for the period the vehicle is being repaired. In addition to the costs associated with the damage, a processing fee of NZ$60 and associated damage assessment fees will be applicable per claim.
If the Customer has a complaint in relation to any monies deducted by Supplier from the Liability Deposit under clause 21, the Customer is invited to contact Supplier or by sending an email
Supplier takes customer complaints seriously and is committed to dealing with all complaints in a fair, objective, unbiased and timely manner.
SUPPLIER STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE THE BUNDLE (IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LIABILITY REDUCTION OPTION) OR THE INCLUSIVE PACK FOR TRAVEL WITH COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND.
