Standard Excess Policy

All the operators  Campers vehicles come with comprehensive insurance cover. A standard excess of $5,000.00 applies in the event of any damage to either our vehicle or third party property. The renter will also be fully liable for replacing or repairing damaged windscreens and tyres. A security bond of $5,000 will be taken on vehicle collection. The security bond can be paid by cash, traveller's cheque or credit card. Should the bond be paid by credit card the amount will be debited to your account immediately, any currency fluctuations are not the responsibility of the Operator . The bond is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed location, on the agreed date, with no damage incurred to the operators Campers vehicle or third party property and the toilet cassette and waste water tank has been emptied and no items are lost or damaged.

The Operator Campers offer the following two (2) options to reduce or waive the Standard Excess:

Excess Reduction 1

Excess Reduction 1 at $25.00 per day, $30.00 per day (4WD) will reduce the excess for any damage to either vehicle or third party property to a maximum of $2,000.00. The renter, however, will be fully liable for replacing or repairing damaged windscreens and tyres. The bond of $2,000.00 can be paid in cash, traveller's cheques or credit card: a manual imprint of the credit card will be taken. This is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed location, on the agreed date, with no damage incurred to the Operators Campers vehicle or third party property and the toilet cassette and waste water tank has been emptied and no items are lost or damaged. The total insurance charge is limited to a maximum of 50 days or $1,250.00 and $1,500.00 respectively.

Excess Reduction 2

Excess Reduction 2 at $35.00 per day and $40.00 per day (4WD) will waive the excess for any vehicle damage and third party property damage and the cost of replacing or repairing windscreens and tyres. However, a security deposit of $250.00 is payable at the time of pickup to ensure that the vehicle is returned to the agreed location, on the agreed date in clean condition and the toilet cassette and waste water tank has been emptied and no items are lost or damaged. The total insurance charge is limited to a maximum of 50 days or $1,750.00 and $2,000.00 respectively.
