Personal Injury:   
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Apollo strongly recommends that all people travelling in New Zealand take out their own personal travel insurance.

Property Damage:   
The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for the cost of such damage to third party property, or to the rented Vehicle. The Liability applies in respect of each claim, not per rental. In addition to the Liability an administration fee of $75 will be charged per claim.

The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental Period. Apollo reserves the right to charge the renter for any vehicle damage including Third Party property damage not reported on return of the vehicle.

Standard Liability:   
Apollo’s rental charge includes a Standard Liability of $5,000 for the Hitop Campervan and Euro Tourer. For all other vehicles a $7,500
Standard Liability applies. 

A Bond of $5,000/$7,500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract.  Payment of this Bond is only accepted by credit card.  The bond will be debited to the credit card account immediately.  An administration fee equal to the merchant surcharge applies.

The Standard Liability can be reduced by purchasing one of the following Reduction Options:
