Important message from Britz

In line with the change to the NZ Government requirements, from Monday 4th April 2022, the vaccination requirement for entry to our branches will no longer apply.  Therefore there is no longer a requirement to show vaccine passes or QR code scanning on arrival at our New Zealand locations.

We do continue to ask that our customers wear a mask and social distance when visiting our branches, as per the government guidance and we will continue to advise this change through our pre-travel comms sent to customers where email addresses have been supplied.

 

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing many customers travelling in New Zealand freely as the normal seems to be getting closer and closer.

Standard Liability & Vehicle Insurance

New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Except where such loss or damage is caused by Britz’s (or that of its employees) own negligence or breach of the Britz Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions, Britz does not accept liability for any loss or damage to any personal belongings or property of the Customer (or any person or entity related to the Customer).  Britz strongly recommend that all people travelling in New Zealand take out personal travel insurance. 

In the USA liability is referred to as the deductible.

All Vehicles are insured for the damage to the vehicle or to the property of a Third Party. The hirer is responsible for the first NZ$7,500 (NZ$5000 Hitop and Voyager) of ANY ACCIDENT COST of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage (does not include single vehicle roll over), towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break in or vandalism with the exception of the exclusions.  Where the damage is the customer’s fault, this also includes the cost of the daily rental rate for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs. The liability applies in respect of each claim, not rental.

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 liability fee will be refunded if Britz is successful in recovering the cost of the damages from the Third Party. Please note that Third Party claims can take months to resolve.

Where a customer chooses the standard liability option, any damage to their motorhome or any third party property during the hire  will need to be paid during the vehicle drop off process. Costs incurred will be calculated and recovered at end of the hire, regardless of any independent cover they may have. Customers choosing a standard liability option will need to allow sufficient time at drop-off to enable a damage inspection.

The maximum public liability is $20,000,000, sub limits may apply. Please note that the maximum public liability may change during the course of the

year for which these terms apply.

The Standard Liability can be reduced by purchasing one of the following:

Liability Reduction Options (LRO)

  Cost per Day Liability Fee Bond Payable
Standard Included in Rental $7,500 $7,500
Standard (HiTop & Voyager) Included in Rental $5,000 $5,000
LRO Option $48 (max $2,400) $0 $250
Stress Free Package $59 (max $2,950) $0 $0

Vehicle Security Deposit or Bond

Upon vehicle collection, a security deposit is required. The amount is determined by the Liability Reduction Option selected. The vehicle security deposit is applicable regardless if the hirer has purchased private travel insurance.

For security purposes, only a credit or debit card can be used for payment of bond. The credit or debit card holder must be present and able to sign for the vehicles security deposit upon vehicle collection. The credit or debit card holder is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle. Any type of prepaid travel card is not acceptable as a means to provide a vehicle security deposit.

Debited vehicle security deposits are subject to a 2.7% credit card administration fee in addition to the bond amount when the credit or debit card used is either Visa or Mastercard or 5.2% for American Express. The credit card administration fees are subject to change.

Britz recommend that customers use a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card for the Liability Deposit, as the credit card administration fee that applies when using American Express is not refundable.

If a Liability Reduction option is not selected, the security deposit is NZ$7,500 ($5,000 HiTop & Voyager) payable by credit or debit card. When no Liability Reduction Option or Option 1 is selected, it is important that the hirer have the funds available on the credit or debit card for the bond amount when the vehicle is collected, and that the amount does not exceed the hirers daily withdrawal allowance available on the credit or debit card.

When Liability Reduction Option 2 is selected, the amount is taken as an imprint to the hirers credit or debit card when the vehicle is collected.

Britz reserves the right to retain an NZ$250 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 NZ$125 soiling fee will be retained.

The 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, with a clean interior and with full fuel tank (Fuel being petrol or diesel) and gas bottle. Except where the customer has purchased the express return pack, 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 returning the vehicle.

For Security purposes, only the hirers credit or debit card can be used for the Refundable Bond.
