Accident Liability Reduction Options 

What is Accident Liability?
Accident liability is the maximum dollar amount (cost) per accident the hirer is responsible for should there be an accident. This includes damage to the rental vehicle and any third party property. The Accident Liability that will apply can be reduced by selecting from one of the above Liability Reduction options.

What is Security Deposit?
The Security Deposit is required as a deposit upon the collection of your vehicle. The Security Deposit can be a full debit from the credit card supplied (all funds processed against your card) or simply an imprint (a dollar amount recorded against your card with no payment processed). The dollar amount and whether it is to be a debit or an imprint is determined by the Liability Reduction option selected as mentioned above.

Is the Security Deposit refundable?
The security deposit is fully refundable 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 Pre-Purchase Gas Option (included in the Britz Bonus Pack) and/or Pre-Purchase Fuel has been pre-purchased.

Daily Rate Maximum Charge
The maximum charge for any Liability Reduction Option will be the daily rate x 50 days.

This covers damage costs associated with damage from a single roll-over. This cost of damage should a single vehicle roll over occur is not covered unless this level of cover is present, providing no breach of the rental agreement. Only available in conjunction with the purchase of Liability Reduction Option 2 or the Bonus Pack. $89 per rental.

If you purchase Liability Reduction 2 or the Bonus Pack a one-off payment of AU$350* per hire will reduce your accident liability to NIL and covers you for accidental damage to the overhead and underbody sections of the 4WD Campervan, unlimited tyre and windscreen cover and towing and vehicle recovery costs from 4WD roads where permission from Britz to travel on these roads has been granted. Includes single vehicle roll over damage cover.

Please note that when purchasing the Britz Bonus Pack, the 4WD Easy Cover option can only be purchased upon vehicle collection.

All debited bonds (plus any other credit card transactions) are subject to a 2% credit card surcharge for Visa and Mastercard and 4.5% for American Express in addition to the bond amount. This surcharge is refunded when the bond is refunded for Visa and Mastercard holders.  For American Express the 4.5% is not refunded when the bond is refunded.

Don’t forget to check that your credit card has the funds available and that the amount does not exceed your daily withdrawal allowance.
