Driveabout Campers Insurance

Bond Deposit/Vehicle Excess
A bond is required on all vehicles at time of collection. This is determined by the excess reduction option. Your security deposit can be paid by credit card. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the vehicle security deposit upon vehicle collection. The cardholder is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle. The security deposit is fully refundable provided the vehicle is returned on time undamaged in clean order, with a full fuel tank and to the right location. Failure to return the vehicle clean and with all items listed on the signed form undamaged or without a full tank or to the wrong location will incur a fee which will be advised upon return of the vehicle. Where there is a pick up off site the bond must be pre-paid.
In the event of an accident in which you are not at fault, we will hold your bond until the 3rd party agrees to pay our costs . once theses costs are met we will refund to you your bond less admin fees. Where we are unable to recover costs then it is the renter is responsible to recover the excess money from the third party. Please note some insurance claims can take months or even years to resolve.

Vehicle Excess
The renter is responsible for the excess of the cost of damage to the rented vehicle or third party property, including, towing, recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism. This also includes the cost of the daily rentals for the period the vehicle is off road for accident repairs. The excess 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 we are successful in recovering all the cost of the damages from the third party. Please note that insurance claims can take months to resolve. The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. All damage covered is forfeited if the terms and conditions of the rental agreement are breached.
