Insurance - Standard Rates
All United Vehicle Rentals Standard Rates include Standard United Vehicle Rentals Vehicle Insurance. This provides cover for:
- Damage to the United Vehicle Rentals vehicle or third party property.
- Public Liability up to NZ$5,000,000.
. A Bond/Excess of NZ$5,000 must be paid on collection of the vehicle. The hirer will be responsible for the first NZ$5,000 of any costs incurred due to damage to the hired vehicle or third party property.
. The hirer will be fully liable for the repair or replacement of damaged windscreens.
. This Bond/Excess may be paid by cash, travellers cheques or credit card. United accepts Visa and Mastercard. If a credit card is used as the method of payment then NZ$5,000 will immediately be debited from the credit card account. United Vehicle Rentals will not be responsible for any losses incurred due to interest charges or currency fluctuations.
. The Bond is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed drop off Depot, on the due drop off date, in a clean undamaged condition, with no damage incurred to third party property, and with a full tank of fuel and empty toilet cassette.
United Vehicle Rentals offers two options to either reduce or waive this standard Bond/Excess of NZ$5,000:
CDW OPTION 1 - Payment of NZ$20 per day [maximum NZ$1,200 for any one hire] at the commencement of the hire will reduce the Bond/Excess to NZ$1,200 [NZ$2,400 for hirers under the age of 25 years].
. The hirer will be responsible for the first NZ$1,200 [NZ$2,400 for hirers under the age of 25 years] of any costs incurred due to damage to the hired vehicle or third party property.
. The hirer will be fully liable for the repair or replacement of damaged windscreens.
. If a credit card is used as the method of payment then credit card details will be taken by United and held on file.
No amount will be debited against the credit card on pick up. However, in the event of an accident, the full bond of NZ$1,200 [NZ$2,400 for hirers under the age of 25 years] will be uplifted immediately and any balance refunded only after full and final costs have been established and deducted.
. The Bond is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed drop off Depot, on the due drop off date, in a clean undamaged condition, with no damage incurred to the hired vehicle or third party property, and with a full tank of fuel and empty toilet cassette.
CDW OPTION 2 - Payment of NZ$32 per day [maximum NZ$1920 for any one hire] or NZ$44 per day for hirers under the age of 25 years [maximum NZ$2640 for any one hire] will completely waive the Bond/Excess.
. The hirer will not be responsible for any costs incurred due to damage to the hired vehicle or third party property, or for the repair or replacement of damaged windscreens.
Please note: details of a credit card will still be taken for a fuel and cleaning deposit to a maximum of NZ$100. This deposit is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed drop off Depot, on the due drop off date, in a clean undamaged condition, and with a full tank of fuel and empty toilet cassette.
