Licence and Minimum Age
A valid full (non-provisional) national drivers licence is required. Non-English language national drivers licences must be presented in conjunction with an official translation or valid international drivers licence. The minimum age is 21 years – max. 85 years.

Traffic Infringements
The hirer is liable for all fines and penalties in relation to the driver's use of the vehicle or the vehicle itself incurred during the rental period plus an administration fee of AUD $75 for each infringement and AUD $25 for each parking or toll-road infringement that has been redirected by KEA to the hirer.

Standard Excess Insurance Cover
All KEA Campers vehicles come with comprehensive insurance cover. A bond of AUD $7,500 is taken to cover the excess in the event of any damage to our vehicle. The hirer will also be fully liable for demurrage - the daily rental rate for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs (max 14 days) - and for replacing or repairing damaged windscreens and tyres. Overhead and under-body damage on the rented vehicle is not covered. The bond can be paid by cash, traveller's cheques or credit card (see paragraph “Important: Bond Payments By Credit Card”). The bond is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed location, on the agreed date in clean condition with no damage incurred to the KEA Campers vehicle, with a full tank of fuel, the toilet cassette and waste water tank emptied and no equipment lost or damaged.

Important: Bond Payments By Credit Card
If the hirer does not choose to purchase an Excess Reduction option from KEA Campers, a bond of AUD $7,500 is taken. This bond is deducted from the customer’s credit card when they pick up their KEA vehicle. We only accept Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and Diners Club. Visa and Master Card will incur an additional surcharge of 2.0 % on any transaction, AMEX and Diners Club 5.0 % on any transaction. When the vehicle is returned to KEA undamaged and no third party damage occurred, the excess is refunded. Like other currencies, the AU Dollar does fluctuate, sometimes by up to 3 or 4 cents in a period of only 3-5 weeks. Fluctuating exchange rates, the difference between buy and sell rates charged by banks as well as bank fees, may result in the amount refunded being different. KEA Campers is not liable for currency variations or bank transaction fees which may be payable, depending on the credit card provider.

KEA Campers offer the following options to reduce or waive the Standard Excess:

Excess Reduction 1 ( Bronze Cover )
Excess Reduction 1 at AUD $28 (AUD $35 for 4WD vehicle) per day will reduce the excess for any damage to the vehicle to a maximum of AUD $2,000.

Overhead and under-body damage on the rented vehicle is not covered. A bond of AUD $2,000 is payable at the time of pick up and can be paid by cash, traveller's cheques or credit card: a manual imprint of the credit card will be taken.
