2012
- 2013 Flex Rates
Valid from 01 April 2012 - 31 March 2013
Flex
Rates give you the very best available
price for the motorhome you want to rent.
If you book early and there are plenty of motorhomes available, you
will
pay a much
lower price. If you book closer to departure date or book for a high
demand period
then the rate will be higher.
However, once booked, should you need to amend the dates, the prevailing
rates
will apply. We get advised of new flex rates each week. Therefore
each quote only
valid until the end of each week.

What happens
if there is an amendment to the booking
?
If you wish to make any changes
to your booking the booking will be calculated
by
using either the original flex rate
or the flex rate that is valid at the time
of the booking change, depending on whichever
rate is higher. There are no
exceptions to this rule. The following situations
are classified as booking alterations:
- Change of date for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of location (depot) for vehicle
pick-up or drop-off
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change
If you decide to extend your rental duration
(changing the drop-off date) by 2 days the
same flex rate is used that
applied on the day when you made your original
booking. If you extend by 3 days or more,
the booking change rule
applies as outlined above.
If an amendment is made to the rental dates
within 14 days of collection, no refund will
be made if the length of hire
is shortened (that is; the rental will be
charged at the number of days originally
booked). There is no refund for late
pick up or early return of vehicle. A relocation
fee may apply if the collection or return
location is amended within 14
days of vehicle pick up or if notification
occurs during the hire.

PROTECTION PACKAGE
Public Liability Insurance:
The public liability insurance is included in
the nightly rental rate. Cheapa Campa
is insured for
damages to third parties
and/or their property up to a limit of US$1 million.
The public liability insurance that covers
the registered drivers is
only up to the statutory limit as stipulated
by law of the State you are in at the time.
This insurance
amount is
normally very low.
Top Service Inclusion:
Cheapa Campa has included an additional SLI third
party insurance policy in the rental rates which
increases the
driver’s public liability insurance level
to US$1 million – well above the statutory
limits.
The maximum SLI insurance covers claims made by
third parties against the rental company or the
renter of the
motorhome (for damage to third parties or their
property). Passengers in the rented motorhome
are not counted as
third parties and the driver is therefore not
insured for claims brought by them against him/herself.
Property Damage:
The renter is responsible up to the amount of
$1,000 for the cost of damage to the rented Vehicle.
The
renter is also
responsible for the cost of demurrage for the
period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs.
The
Liability applies in
respect of each claim, not per rental. The Liability
is applicable regardless of who is at fault and
must be paid at the
time the accident is reported to Cheapa Campa,
not at the completion of the rental Period. In
addition to the Liability an administration fee
of $75 will be charged per claim.
Standard Liability:
Cheapa
Campa’s rental
charge includes a Standard Liability of $1,500.
A Bond of $1,500 will be collected at the time
of entering into the Rental Contract. The $1,500
will be debited to the credit card account immediately.
An
administration fee of $30 applies.
Liability
Reduction Option (LRO):
A $0 (zero) Liability applies. This Option can
be purchased by paying to Cheapa Campa $15 per
night.
- The maximum amount payable for this option
per rental is $600 – i.e. 40 nights rental.
- The minimum amount payable for
this option per rental will be based on the minimum
rental
period applicable for your rental (i.e. 7 nights
for rentals during
the High Season).
LRO protects against:
-
Accidental
damages
-
Windscreen
and other glass damage
-
Protection
against theft and vandalism
-
Protection against uninsured motorists
- Tyre
damage (2 tyres covered per rental)
A
Bond of $500 will be collected at the time
of entering into the Rental Contract. The $500
will be debited to the credit card account immediately.
An
administration fee of $10 applies.
Bond:
For security purposes, only a credit card
can be used to provide a Bond. The credit
card
holder
must be present and
able to sign for the Bond upon vehicle collection.
The credit card holder is jointly and severally
liable for any damage
to the rental vehicle.
The
Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is
returned to the correct location on time, is
full of fuel and all other
terms of the Rental Contract have been complied
with. If there is damage to the vehicle on
its
return, the Bond will
be used to cover the cost of such damage up to
the amount of the relevant Liability. However,
if the terms of the
Rental Contract are breached and the Bond is
insufficient to cover the damage then any extra
cost will be
charged.
Full Responsibility
At all times the renter is responsible for:
-
Damage
caused where the terms of Rental Contract have
been breached.
-
Damage
caused by negligence.
-
Damage
caused to the Vehicle in any way by part or

or salt water.

-
Damage
caused due to use of incorrect
or contaminated
fuel.
-
Damage to the
awning,
overhead
or
underbody of the
Vehicle.
Shortening of Rental Period:
If a renter shortens their hire period by more than a week - it may be treated as a cancellation of the whole booking and a re-booking. This depends on when the amendment takes place and how many days of hire are being cancelled. Please ensure you always have travel insurance in place.
Cancellation Fees:
-
If
cancelled 45+ nights prior to pick up and 7
nights or more after the booking date - $250
cancellation fee

50% of Rental Rates (minimum $250)
