Only

2010
- 2011 Flex Rates
Valid from 01 April 2010 - 31 March 2011
Flex Rates give you the very best available price for the motorhome
you want to rent. If you book early and there are plenty of motorhomes
available, you will pay a much lower price. If you book closer to departure
date or book for a high demand period then the rate will be higher.
However, once booked, should you need to amend the dates, the prevailing
rates will apply. We get advised of new flex rates each week. Therefore
each quote only valid until the end of each week.
Please Contact us for this weeks Great Flex Rates
|

Rates are
calculated per calendar day.
The flex rate for the entire duration of the rental is
determined by the
date of pick-up, location and date of booking. The daily
rate will not
change within one booking.
Amendments prior to the vehicle collection date will be
re-calculated
at the flex rate applicable on the date of amendment. This
applies to
changing the vehicle type, reducing the number of rental
days,
changing pick-up dates and/or changing the pick-up or drop-off
location. Where the number of rental days is being extended
prior to
pick-up (days are being added on at the end of the rental
with no
change to the original pick up date), or the bonus pack
is being added
to or removed from the booking, the original flex rate,
which applied
at the time of the original booking, will apply.

and to heat the hot water in vehicles with a hot water
facility. With the Safari 4WD PGO refers to four butane gas

is used to pull a vehicle from a bogged position with the
aid of another vehicle. The D shackles secure the snatch
strap
to a rigid anchor point.

between 4 and 7 years of age. All child restraint equipment

YOUR PROTECTION – VEHICLE EXCESS
Personal injury is covered in most cases through Registration
Third Party insurance. Britz strongly recommends
that all people travelling in Australia 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 AU$7,500 (“the excess”)

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 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 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 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 excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental.
Please see the ‘Exclusions’ section below,
whereby all insurance cover will be made void.
This AU$7,500 excess or the AU$2,500 excess (AU$2,500 excess
applicable to the Britz Rookie only) can be
reduced, in most circumstances, by the purchase
of Excess Reduction Option 1 (not available if the rented
vehicle is the Britz Rookie), Excess Reduction Option 2
or the 4WD Easy Cover Option. .

4WD of the cost of damage to Third Party property or to
the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle
accident, 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 excess applies in respect
of each claim, not rental.
*4WD hirers who have not purchased the 4WD Easy Cover will
be responsible for up to AU$7,500 for
towing and vehicle recovery costs in the event that towing
and vehicle recovery is required from a 4WD
road where permission was provided from Britz in order to
travel on the roads (refer to the road
restrictions section for a list of these roads where permission
is required before travel).

whereby all insurance cover will be made void.
Excess Reduction Option 2

2WD AU$42 (max charge AU$2,100) NIL
4WD AU$49 (max charge AU$2,450) AU$500*

for the first AU$500 (“the excess”) of the
cost of
damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle.

hire. The 4WD Easy Cover Option is only

Vehicle
Security Deposit
Upon vehicle collection, a security deposit is required.
The amount is determined by the Excess 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.
Debited bonds are subject to a 2% credit card administration
fee in addition to the bond amount when the
credit card used is either a Visa or MasterCard or
4.5% for American Express.
If an Excess Reduction Option is not selected, the
security deposit is AU$7,500 payable by credit card. The AU$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 Excess Reduction Option 1 has been taken the security deposit
is AU$2,500 for 2WD vehicles and
AU$3,500 for 4WD vehicles.
The AU$2,500/$3,500 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 Excess Reduction Option 2 is selected with or without 4WD
Easy Cover or the package booked is the Bonus
Pack the security deposit is AU$220 for 2WD vehicles or $AU500
for 4WD vehicles.
The AU$220/$500 is taken as an imprint to the hirer’s
credit card when the vehicle is collected. An imprint
simply records a figure against the hirers credit card of AU$220/$500
that Britz can then debit if required.
The
security deposit is fully refundable provided the vehicle
is returned on time, to the correct location,
undamaged, with a clean interior 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 AU$220 cleaning fee
if the vehicle is not 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 AU$125 soiling fee will be
retained.
FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, ONLY THE HIRERS CREDIT CARD CAN
BE USED FOR VEHICLE SECURITY
DEPOSITS.
Exchange
Rate / Currency Variations
All credit card transactions are conducted in Australian
dollars. Due to exchange rate fluctuations and/or
bank transaction fees there could be some variance in the
amount refunded compared to the amount initially
charged. Britz does not accept any liability for variances
up or down.
Credit Cards
The credit card holder will be jointly and severally liable
as a customer. Accepted credit cards are Visa
Card, MasterCard and American Express. A non-refundable
2% administration fee will apply to all Visa and
MasterCard transactions or 4.5% for American Express. Credit
card administration fees also apply to
debited security bonds and only the hirer’s credit
card is acceptable to use for the purpose of the security
bond.
Personal and Company Cheques
Personal and company cheques will not be accepted as payment
for rentals at the time of pick-up. These
must be received by Britz 14 working days prior to commencement
of the hire/s.
Calculation Errors
Britz will not honour calculation errors. Should a calculation
error occur Britz will charge for the shortfall.
Licence
A current and full motor vehicle driver’s licence
is required and must be produced upon vehicle collection.
Should a foreign licence be in a language other then English
it must be accompanied by a current
international driving permit issued in the same country
as the driver’s licence was issued. An accredited
English translation will be accepted in lieu of an international
driving permit.
Age Restrictions
Drivers must be 21 years of age or over. For drivers 75
years of age or over, a medical certificate stating that
the customer is fit to drive for the duration of the hire
is required upon vehicle collection.

made at the same time. If a customer makes another booking
at a later time, the new booking can be
combined to qualify if the vehicle collection date/s are
within a 3-month period however, the original
booking/s will only qualify for a discount if the booking/s
are not already travelling or travelled.
Note that 2WD car hire in Australia cannot be combined
with any campervan or New Zealand car hire to
qualify for longer-term discounts.
Longer-term discounts must be requested at the time of
booking.
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
or the Britz Bonus Pack if applicable.
If multiple hires are within the same country and total
days exceed 50 days only the maximum charge
applicable to the Excess Reduction Option or the Britz
Bonus Pack will apply. If combining a vehicle hire
with another Britz vehicle that has a more expensive Bonus
Pack or Excess Reduction Option, the more
expensive Bonus Pack/Excess Reduction maximum cost is applied.
In the instance where a Britz hire is
being combined with a Maui hire and the packages have either
the Bonus Pack or the Premium Pack these
components cannot be combined to have a maximum charge
applied however the vehicle rate can have a
longer-term discount applied if applicable.
If multiple hires total more than 100 days these rates
and terms do not apply. Requests for
quotes/bookings of more than 100 days should be directed
first to Reservations.
