Campervan Insurance

Insurance under Standard Rates

All Standard Rates include Insurance. This provides cover for:

- Damage to the United Vehicle Rentals Ltd vehicle or third party property.

- Public Liability up to NZ$5,000,000.

• A Bond/Excess of NZ$5,000 must be paid on collection of the campervan. The hirer will be responsible for the first NZ$5,000 of any costs incurred due to damage to the hired vehicle or third party property.
• The hirer will be fully liable for the repair or replacement of damaged windscreens.
• This Bond/Excess may be paid by cash, travellers cheques or credit card. United Vehicle Rentals Ltd accepts Visa and Mastercard. If a credit card is used as the method of payment then NZ$5,000 will immediately be debited from the credit card account. United Vehicle Rentals Ltd will not be responsible for losses resulting from bank charges, lost interest or currency fluctuations.
• Payment of the NZ$5,000 Bond is per incident and should damage be incurred to the hired vehicle or third party property a further Bond payment will be required.
• The Bond is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed drop off depot, on the due drop off date, in a clean undamaged condition, with no damage incurred to third party property, and with a full tank of fuel and empty toilet cassette.
• Any refund of the Bond by credit card may take up to three working days to process by the bank or credit card company.

United Vehicle Rentals Ltd offers two options to either reduce or waive this standard Bond/ Excess of NZ$5,000:

• The hirer will be responsible for the first NZ$1,200 (NZ$2,400 for hirers under the age of 25 years) of any costs incurred due to damage to the hired vehicle or third party property.
• The hirer will be fully liable for the repair or replacement of damaged windscreens.
• If a credit card is used as the method of payment then details will be taken by United Vehicle Rentals Ltd and held on file. No amount will be debited against the credit card on pick up. However, in the event of an accident, the full Bond of NZ$1,200 (NZ$2,400 for hirers under the age of 25 years) will be uplifted immediately and any balance refunded only after full and final costs have been established and deducted. As the Bond is applicable per incident further credit card details will be taken for a new NZ$1,200 Bond.
• The credit card details held by United Vehicle Rentals Ltd will be deleted, and no deductions made, provided the vehicle is returned to the agreed drop off depot, on the due drop off date, in a clean undamaged condition, with no damage incurred to the hired vehicle or third party property, and with a full tank of fuel and empty toilet cassette.

• The hirer will not be responsible for any costs incurred due to damage to the hired vehicle or third party property, or for the repair or replacement of damaged windscreens.
• Please note: details of a credit card will still be taken for a fuel and cleaning deposit to a maximum of NZ$150. This deposit is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed drop off depot, on the due drop off date, in a clean condition, and with a full tank of fuel and empty toilet cassette.

Insurance under All Inclusive Rates

Comprehensive insurance as detailed in OPTION 2 (above) is included in the All Inclusive Rates, and NO excess applies. This applies to all eligible hirers over 21 years with hires of 7 days or over. Please note: details of a credit card will still be taken for a fuel and cleaning deposit to a maximum of NZ$150. This deposit is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed drop off depot, on the due drop off date, in a clean condition, and with a full tank of fuel and empty toilet cassette.
