For Your Protection - Vehicles Liability:
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. maui strongly recommends that
all people travelling in New Zealand take out personal travel insurance.

All vehicles are insured for damage to the vehicle or to the property of a Third Party. The hirer is responsible for
the first NZD $7,500 (“the excess”) of the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident (does not include single vehicle roll over), 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 liability 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 Maui 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 liability applies in respect of each claim, not rental.

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

This NZD $7,500 excess can be reduced in most circumstances, by the purchase of Liability Reduction Option 1 or Liability Reduction Option 2 (note Liability Reduction Option 2 is included in the maui Premium Package).

Excess Reduction Option 1
Cost per day NZD $29 (max charge NZD $1,450) - Liability reduced to NZD $2,500

When Liability Reduction 1 has been purchased the hirer is responsible for the first NZD $2,500 (“the liability”) of
the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle accident (does not include single vehicle roll over), 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 liability applies in respect of each claim, not rental.

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

Excess Reduction Option 2
Cost per day NZD $45 (max charge NZD $2,250) - Liability reduced to nil

With Liability Reduction 2, the hirer will not have to pay any excess at all for any damage to the vehicle or
property of a Third Party with the exception of the ‘exclusions’.

Note: Liability Reduction Option 2 is included in the Maui Premium Package

Tyre and Windscreen Damage
Where a nil liability is present unlimited windscreen and tyres will be covered for accidental damage.

Additional Protection Coverage
All Vehicles - NZD $89 per rental

Where the hirer purchases Additional Protection Coverage the cost of damage resulting from a single vehicle roll over will be covered.

Additional Protection Coverage can only be purchased in conjunction with Liability Reduction Option 2 or the maui Premium Package.

MAUI STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE THE PREMIUM PACKAGE WITH ADDITIONAL PROTECTION COVERAGE FOR TRAVEL WITH PEACE OF MIND.

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

EXCLUSIONS:
All insurance cover will be made void if any of the following ‘Exclusions’ are breached:

• 1. Overhead and underbody damage to the vehicle - except where Excess Reduction 2 or the
  Premium Package has been purchased (does not cover single vehicle roll over).
• 2. Damage caused to the vehicle because total load (kg) has exceeded recommended load as
  stated in vehicle manual. Vehicles are not to be used for the purpose of transporting and haulage of goods other than what might be reasonably expected of a leisure rental.

  a) any vehicle submersion
  b) creek or river crossing

  become bogged, submerged, caught, trapped, stuck or restricted in anyway and/or has been
  abandoned.
• 11.The cost to replace keys, which have been lost or retrieval of keys, which have been locked in a

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. Any type of pre-paid travel card is not acceptable as a means to provide a vehicle security deposit. Visa and MasterCard debit cards are acceptable provided the card is being used as a credit card.

# In the USA a vehicle security deposit is referred to as the “deductible”.

Debited vehicle security deposits are subject to a 2% credit card administration fee in addition to the vehicle security deposit amount when the credit card used is either a Visa or MasterCard and 4.5% when the credit card used is an American Express.

If you do not take a Liability Reduction Option, the vehicle security deposit is NZD $7,500 payable by credit
card.

The NZD $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 Liability Reduction Option 1 has been taken the Security Deposit is NZD $2,500.

The NZD $2,500 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.

If Liability Reduction Option 2 is nominated with or the package booked is the Maui Premium Package the vehicle security deposit is NZD $220.

The NZD $220 is taken as an imprint to the hirer’s credit card when the vehicle is collected. An imprint simply
records a figure against the hirer’s credit card of NZD $220 that Maui can then debit if required.

The vehicle security deposit is fully refundable, including the credit card surcharge if the card used to provide the vehicle security deposit is a Visa or MasterCard, provided the vehicle is returned on time, to the correct location, undamaged, in a clean condition 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 maui Premium Package) 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.

Maui reserves the right to retain an NZD $220 cleaning fee if the vehicle is not returned 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 NZD $125 soiling fee will be retained.

FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, ONLY THE HIRERS CREDIT CARD CAN BE USED FOR VEHICLE SECURITY DEPOSITS.

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.
We do 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 and 4.5% to American Express. Credit card administration fees also apply
to debited vehicle security deposits and only the hirer’s credit card is acceptable to use for the purpose
of the vehicle security deposit.

expensive Premium Package/Excess Reduction maximum cost is applied.
