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

FOR 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”) or AU$2,500 (“the excess”) in the case of the rented vehicle being the Britz Rookie) 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 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. .

Excess Reduction Option 1
Vehicle Cost per day Excess reduced to
2WD AU$25 (max charge AU$1,250) AU$2,500
4WD AU$30 (max charge AU$1,500) AU$3,500*

When Excess Reduction 1 has been purchased the hirer is responsible for the first AU$2,500 (“the excess”)
in the event of the vehicle being a 2WD and AU$3,500 (“the excess”) in the event of the vehicle being a
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).

Please see the ‘exclusions’ section below, whereby all insurance cover will be made void.

Excess Reduction Option 2
Vehicle Cost per day Excess reduced to
2WD AU$42 (max charge AU$2,100) NIL
4WD AU$49 (max charge AU$2,450) AU$500*

When Excess Reduction 2 has been purchased, the hirer will have no excess at all for 2WD vehicles with the
exception of the ‘exclusions’. If the vehicle hired is a 4WD the hirer will be responsible for the first AU$500 (“the excess”) 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.

Note: Excess Reduction Option 2 is included in the Britz Bonus Pack.

*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).

Please see the ‘Exclusions’ section below, whereby all insurance cover will be made void.

4WD Easy Cover Option (4WDEASY)

The 4WD Easy Cover Option is a one-off fee of AU$250 per hire. The 4WD Easy Cover Option is only
available with 4WD hires and when Excess Reduction 2 or the Bonus Pack has been purchased.

The 4WD Easy Cover Option extends the cover available with Excess Reduction 2 or the Bonus Pack for 4WD’s to include a NIL excess, cover for accidental damage to the overhead and underbody sections of the 4WD vehicle (this does not include single vehicle roll-over), unlimited tyre and windscreen cover and towing and vehicle recovery costs in the event towing and vehicle recovery is required from 4WD roads where permission from Britz is required to travel in advance (see road restrictions section for a list of these roads). Clients requiring vehicle towing and vehicle recovery from a road listed within this section will be responsible for up to AU$7,500 for towing and vehicle recovery in the event of not having this cover irrespective of the Excess Reduction Cover Option or Bonus Pack the customer may
have.

Tyre and Windscreen Damage– Where a nil excess is present, unlimited windscreen and tyres will
be covered for accidental damage. This applies to both 2WD and 4WD hires.

2. Overhead and underbody damage to the 2WD vehicle - except where Excess Reduction 2 or the

5. Any water related damage which includes, but is not limited to:
a) any vehicle submersion

vehicle).
8. A single vehicle roll over occurs.
9. Damage caused to the vehicle by snow chains.
10. Any damage caused while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
11. The Customer will be liable for any costs associated with the incorrect use of fuel or the use of Bio-

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.

All amendments to bookings are subject to availability of vehicle and/or package. Different rates may apply
based on the amendment made.

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

vehicle collection date/s are within a 3-month period. For all rentals to qualify each booking needs to be
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.

Transfers
Britz clients will need to make their own way to and from the Britz branch, at their own expense.

Airport Concession Fee
An airport concession fee may be charged for hires with pick-up or drop-off from airport locations. An airport
pick-up fee of AU$16.50 per hire (Campervans) or 8.5% of the total hire cost (per 4WD Car) will apply for hires
with pick-up at Hobart airport. This fee is subject to change and new airport charges may arise.

Infringements and Administration Fees
Britz reserves the right to charge the hirer for any speeding, toll way or parking fines and/or vehicle damage
including Third Party property damage not reported on return of the vehicle. In addition to these costs, Britz
reserve the right to charge for associated administration costs for processing the fines (irrespective of excess)
and/or all insurance claims in the event of the customer not having a NIL excess. In addition to the costs
associated per fine and/or insurance claim, an administration fee of $60 will be applicable.

Customer Care On-Road Assistance
Any problems associated with the vehicle, including equipment failure, must be reported to Britz as soon as
possible and within 24 hours in order to give Britz the opportunity to rectify the problem during the rental.
Failure to do so will compromise any claims for compensation. Britz do not accept liability for any claims
submitted after this period.


Repairs
Repairs up to AU$200 may be effected without authorisation and will be reimbursed upon presentation of a
receipt. For amounts over AU$200, Britz will need to be informed in advance. Repairs will be approved
provided the customer was not directly responsible for the damage. Receipts must be submitted for any
repair or the claim will not be paid.


Change of Vehicle
Should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen circumstances, Britz reserve the right to
substitute an alternative vehicle without prior notification and at no extra cost. This shall not constitute a
breach of contract and does not entitle the hirer to a refund.

Vehicle Category
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by vehicle category.

Voluntary Downgrade
Should the hirer decide to take a lesser vehicle than booked they will not be entitled to any refund.
