Britz Campervan Rentals NZ insurance
FOR YOUR PROTECTION – VEHICLE LIABILITY#
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Britz strongly recommend that all people travelling in New Zealand take out personal travel insurance.
# In the USA a liability is referred to as the “deductible”.
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 liability”) of the cost of damage to Third party property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident (does not include single vehicle roll over), 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 liability 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 liability will be refunded if Britz is successful in recovering the cost of the damages from the Third Party. Please note that Third Party claims can take months to resolve.
The liability applies in respect of each claim, not rental.
Please see the ‘Exclusions’ section below, whereby all liability cover will be made void.
This NZ$7,500 liability can be reduced, in most circumstances, by the purchase of Liability Reduction Option 1 or Liability Reduction Option 2 (note Liability Reduction Option 2 is included in the Bonus Pack).
Liability Reduction Option 1
Cost per day Liability reduced to
NZ$29(max charge NZ$1,450) NZ$2,500
When Liability Reduction Option 1 has been purchased the hirer is responsible for the first NZ$2,500 (“the liability”) of the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle accident (does not include single vehicle roll over), 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 liability applies in respect of each claim, not rental.
Please see the ‘exclusions’ section below, whereby all liability cover will be made void.
Liability
Reduction Option 2
Cost per day Liability reduced to
NZ$45 (max charge NZ$2,250) NIL
When Liability Reduction Option 2 has been purchased, the hirer will have no liability at all with the exception of the ‘exclusions’.
Note: Liability Reduction Option 2 is included in the Britz Bonus Pack
Please see the ‘Exclusions’ section below, whereby all liability cover will be made void.
Tyre and Windscreen Damage Cover – Where a nil liability is present unlimited windscreen and tyres will be covered for accidental damage.
Additional Protection Coverage
Vehicle Cost
All NZ$89 per rental
Where the hirer purchases Additional Protection Coverage the cost of damage resulting from a single vehicle roll over will be covered.
Please note:
Additional Protection Coverage can only be purchased in conjunction with Liability Reduction Option 2 or the Bonus Pack.
BRITZ STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE THE BONUS PACK WITH ADDITIONAL PROTECTION COVERAGE FOR TRAVEL WITH PEACE OF MIND.
EXCLUSIONS:

1. Overhead and underbody damage to the vehicle - except where Liability Reduction 2 or the Bonus Pack has been purchased (does not cover single vehicle roll over).
2. Damage caused to the vehicle because total load (kg) has exceeded recommended load as stated in vehicle manual. Vehicles are not to be used for the purpose of transporting and haulage of goods other than what might be reasonably expected of a leisure rental.
3. Any water related damage which includes, but is not limited to:
a) any vehicle submersion
b) creek or river crossing
c) driving through flooded areas
d) beach driving
4. Personal belongings. Britz recommend the hirer does not leave valuables in the vehicle and that they have travel insurance to cover for the loss/damage of personal belongings.
5. Any damage caused by willful misconduct (e.g. sitting or standing on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle).
6. A single vehicle roll over occurs except where Additional Protection Coverage has been purchased.
7. Damage caused to the vehicle by snow chains.
8. Any damage caused while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

10. The cost to retrieve or recover a vehicle, which may include, but is not limited to a vehicle that has become bogged, submerged, caught, trapped, stuck or restricted in anyway and/or has been abandoned.
11. The cost to replace keys, which have been lost or retrieval of keys, which have been locked in a vehicle.
12. The vehicle rented may only be used to carry the maximum number of passengers as dictated by the vehicle type. If more passengers are carried than what is allowed Britz does not accept any liability.
13. Drivers not identified on the rental agreement and/or drivers that have a licence that has been cancelled or suspended and/or drivers who have a licence that is classified as a learners or probationary licence.
VEHICLE SECURITY DEPOSIT
Upon vehicle collection, a vehicle security deposit is required. The amount is determined by the Liability 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. Any type of pre-paid travel card is not acceptable as a means to provide a vehicle security deposit.
Debited vehicle security deposits are subject to a 2% credit card administration fee in addition to the vehicle security deposit amount when the credit card used is either a Visa or MasterCard or 4.5% for American Express.
If a Liability Reduction Option is not selected, the security deposit is NZ$7,500 payable by credit card.
The NZ$7,500 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 Liability Reduction Option 1 has been taken the vehicle security deposit is NZ$2,500.
The NZ$2,500 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 Liability Reduction Option 2 is selected or the package booked is the Bonus Pack the vehicle security deposit is NZ$220.
The NZ$220 is taken as an imprint to the hirer’s credit card when the vehicle is collected. An imprint simply records a figure against the hirer’s credit card of NZ$220 that Britz can then debit if required.
The security deposit is fully refundable, including the credit card surcharge if the card used to provide the vehicle security deposit is a Visa or MasterCard, provided the vehicle is returned on time, to the correct location, undamaged, in a clean condition 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.
Britz reserves the right to retain an NZ$220 cleaning fee if the vehicle is not returned in a clean condition. This includes smoking related cleaning, as smoking is not permitted in the vehicle. The toilet and waste water tank must be emptied prior to the return of the vehicle, or an additional NZ$125 soiling fee will be retained.
FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, ONLY THE HIRERS CREDIT CARD CAN BE USED FOR VEHICLE SECURITY DEPOSITS. |
