| All Maui Australia camper rentals
include liability insurance
(i.e. third party) which also covers (although very partially) personal injury to
the client and to members of the client's party).
Meanwhile the included collision and
comprehensive insurance inheres a deductible (a.k.a. excess; applicable no
matter who is at fault) of AUD 7500, but
clients can reduce this by purchasing
one of two optional damage waivers (a.k.a. excess reductions):
These insurance options also have positive effects in terms of the security
deposit charged by Maui upon the pick-up occasion:
the default security deposit is
AUD 7500 to be actually debited, i.e. charged;
damage waiver 1 reduces the amount
to AUD 2500; damage waiver 2 reduces the amount to AUD 220
(or AUD 440 for 4WD) and entails a mere imprint rather than an actual debit.
For security reasons, only a credit card — namely Visa, MasterCard,
or American Express — can be used to provide the
security deposit.
The card holder must be present upon the pick-up
occasion and is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the
rental vehicle.
If the deductible/excess is reduced to zero, one windscreen and two tires are covered for accidental damage.
Damage to the overhead or underbody of the vehicle is not covered unless
the customer buys damage waiver 2 (noted above) and enhances that waiver
by purchasing the …
The term comprehensive above signifies
vehicular damage due to vandalism, fire, theft of the vehicle, break-in, and weather,
as well as towing and recovery costs.
Importantly this term
also signifies the cost of the daily rental for the duration the vehicle
is off fleet for accident repairs (demurrage); which is to say, this cost
is considered a damage. The deductible/excess is applicable
no matter who is at fault;
but if the client is shown to be not at fault
and Maui is successful in recovering damages from the other party, the
client will be refunded appropriately (although such process can take several
months).
Exclusions:
breakdown cover and repairs
For starters, the fleet of vehicles is modern and frequently upgraded,
the average age of a vehicle normally being less than 1 year.
All the vehicles do include 24/7 roadside service nationwide.
Call toll-free 1300 363 800.
Any problems associated with the vehicle, including equipment failure,
should be reported to Maui
as soon as possible and within 24 hours, this to give Maui the
opportunity to rectify the problem as soon as possible. Failure to report
as such will compromise any client claims for compensation.
Maui does not accept liability for claims submitted after this duration.
In the event, please contact Maui toll-free at tel. 1300 363 800.
Repairs costing up to AUD 100 may be effected without authorization from
Maui and will be appropriately reimbursed if the client provides the repair receipt
to Maui. For amounts estimated over AUD 100, the
client should obtain authorization from Maui. Receipts relating to
any repair should be sumbitted to Maui.
Warning
Although motor travel in Australia is not generally considered prohibitively dangerous, there are, of course, associated risks — including death. For quantitative measures of these risks, please see the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT) http://www.asirt.org.
