TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This document contains a summary of some of the Rental Conditions. For full detailed Conditions refer to the
Rental Agreement on pick-up. Please note all prices quoted in this document are in
New Zealand dollars. Rates and Conditions quoted in our brochures and/or documentation are subject to
change without notice.
RENTAL DURATION
- Minimum rental period is 5 days. Minimum rental period 10 days for hires between 23 December 2006 and
10 January 2007. Minimum rental period is subject to change during peak periods.
- Rental days are calculated on a calendar day basis. When calculating the number of days a vehicle is
rented, the day of pick-up is counted as day one of the rental, regardless of pick-up time. The day of the
vehicle’s return is counted as the final day of the rental.
- When a rental moves from one rate season into the next, the calculation is based on both rates.
- Special rates are available for rentals of more than 90 days. Discounts available on application only.
- Late Pick-up or early return of vehicle, does not entitle the hirer to any refund of the unused portion of the
rental.
- Late returns will be charged on a per day basis. Failure to obtain authorisation for a rental extension will
result in a daily fee of NZ$150 in addition to the daily rate.
ONE-WAY RENTALS
- One-way rentals are available between all branch locations.
- A one-way rental fee of NZ$150 is charged for rentals between the North and South Island (and vice
versa), where pick-up is between 01 October 2008 and 31 March 2009.
MULTIPLE RENTALS
Should a customer have more than one rental, they can be combined to qualify for longer term hire discounts.
Campervan and car hire in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa for both Britz and Maui can be combined to
qualify if travel is completed within a 3 month period.
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 taken, if applicable.
If multiple hires are within the same country and total days exceed 50 days only the maximum charge applicable
to excess reduction or the Maui Premium Package will apply. Contact reservations for more information.
The one-way fee (if applicable) and charges for additional products and services (refer to page 2) will be
charged per vehicle rented.
CHANGE OF DROP-OFF DESTINATION
If the customer wishes to change the drop-off destination after the Rental has commenced, they must first
obtain authorisation from Reservations. Subject to the change being approved, an additional charge of up to NZ$500 will apply.
RENTAL EXTENSION
If the customer wishes to extend the rental whilst on hire, they must first obtain authorisation from
Reservations. This is subject to availability. The extra cost of an extended rental must be paid by credit card
over the telephone on confirmation of the rental extension.
Failure to obtain authorisation will result in a daily fee of NZ$150 in addition to the daily rate.

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 first NZ$7,500 (“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. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs
(demurrage). 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.
Please see the ‘Exclusions’ section below, whereby all Excess Reduction cover will be made void.
This NZ$7,500 excess can be reduced, in most circumstances, by the purchase of Excess Reduction Option 1
or Excess Reduction Option 2.

rental rate for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs (demurrage). The excess applies in respect
of each claim, not rental.
