2011
- 2012 Flex Rates
Valid from 01 April 2011 - 31 March 2012
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.

What exactly is Flex?
Flex Rates allows us to offer flexible pricing, which gives
you the opportunity to secure the best possible rental
rate.
The Flex Rates are based on a very simple system of supply
and demand. So when there are a large number of
vehicles available for hire from a particular branch then
the rental rate is lower. This way you can benefit from
the
lower rates offered. Generally, this means that the earlier
you book the cheaper the rate! There will also be great
Standby Rates!

each will be charged per respective vehicle. Multiple rentals
are treated as separate rentals under the one way fee
and minimum rental period conditions.
Ferry Reservations
Ferry reservations can be difficult to manage during high
season. We recommend that a reservation is made for a
7.3m vehicle on the ferry, irrespective as to the size
of the motorhome reserved, to avoid complications due to
possible upgrades.
Travel
Restrictions:
Two Wheel Drive Vehicles can only be driven on sealed/bitumen
roads. The only exception to this
is the last remaining kilometres of loose road surface
on any major ski field access roads or any
recognised campground access road less than 5 kilometres
in length.
No vehicle shall be driven on Skippers Road (Queenstown),
Ninety Mile Beach (Northland), Ball Hut
Road (Mt. Cook), Bluff Road that runs between Kuatunu
and Mataurangi and North of Colville
Township (Coromandel Peninsula).
Cheapa Campa reserves the right at its sole discretion
to restrict vehicle movements in certain areas due
to
adverse road or weather conditions.
Rental
Extension
If the customer wishes to extend the rental whilst on
hire, they must first obtain authorisation from Cheapa
Campa
Reservations. This is subject to availability. The extra
cost (Gross Rate) of an extended rental must be paid
by credit
card over the telephone or at a Cheapa Campa Branch immediately
on confirmation of the rental extension.
Failure to obtain authorisation will result in the renter
being charged double the daily applicable rental rate. Repairs:
Although we run late model vehicles, it may happen that
small repairs are required. Repairs up to NZD $100 may
be
affected without authorisation and will be reimbursed unless
the damage is caused by the renter. For amounts over
NZD $100, Cheapa Campa will need to be informed in advance.
All vehicles are enrolled in the New Zealand Automobile
Association and 24hr emergency roadside assistance is available.
Infringements
and Administration Fees:
We reserve the right to charge the renter for any
speeding, toll way or parking fines not reported on return
of the
vehicle. In addition to these costs, Cheapa Campa reserves
the right to charge for associated administration costs for
processing the fines (irrespective of excess). An administration
fee of NZD $75 will be applicable.
Change Of Vehicle:
Should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen
circumstances, we 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
renter to a refund.
Vehicle
Category:
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by
vehicle category.
Voluntary Downgrade:
Should the renter decide to take a lesser vehicle than
booked within 14 days of pick up or during
the rental then they will not be entitled to any refund.
Limit of Liability:
In the event of no alternative vehicle being available
to the renter our liability is limited to a refund
of the hire charge or in the case of mechanical failure
(unless caused by the renter) the remaind
of the hire period.

We reserve the right to refuse any rental at our discretion.

Booking Amendments:
If you wish to make any changes to your booking the booking
will be calculated by using either the
original flex rate or the flex rate that is valid at
the time of the booking change, depending on
whichever rate is higher. There are no exceptions to
this rule. The following situations are
classified as booking alterations:
- Change of date for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of location (depot) for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change
If you decide to extend your rental duration (changing the drop-off date) by
2 days the same flex rate is used that applied on the day when you made your
original booking. If you extend by 3 days or more, the booking change rule applies
as outlined above.
If an amendment is made to the rental dates within 14 days of collection, no
refund will be made if the length of hire is shortened (that is; the rental will
be charged at the number of days originally booked). A relocation fee may apply
if the collection or return location is amended within 14 days of vehicle pick
up or if notification occurs during the hire.
Travel Insurance:
We strongly recommend that renters ensure they take out
the highest level of Travel Insurance.
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Personal Injury:
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal
injury. Chepa Campa 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 renter is also responsible for the cost of
demurrage
for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to
repairs. The Liability applies in respect of each claim,
not per rental. In addition to the Liability an administration
fee
of NZD $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
Cheapa
Campa, not at the completion of the rental Period. Cheapa
Campa reserves the right to charge the renter for any
vehicle damage including Third Party property damage not
reported on return of the vehicle.
