2011
- 2012 Flex Rates
Valid from 01 April 2011 - 31 March 2012
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.

a 3 month period. If drop off of a vehicle and pick up of a new vehicle occurs
on the same day then a day each will be charged per respective vehicle. Multiple
rentals are treated as separate rentals under the one way fee and minimum rental
period conditions.
Travel Restrictions:
Cheapa Campa reserves the right at its sole discretion to restrict vehicle
movements in certain areas due to adverse
road or weather conditions.
Death Valley and other
desert areas:
Vehicles are not allowed to operate in
Death Valley and other desert areas during
the months of May to September.
At other times clients visit these areas
at their own risk and are thus responsible
for all recovery and other charges.
During certain periods these areas are
not habitable and could pose a danger to
the driver and passengers.
Mexico,
Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories & Newfoundland:
Travel to Mexico, Alaska, Yukon and Northwest
Territories & Newfoundland is strictly
prohibited.

propane gas and parking, vehicles with
propane are not permitted in

through any underground or underwater tunnels.

for travel to the Burning Man Festival.
Colorado
Road Safety Fee
A surcharge of $2.00 per night (maximum
$90.00 per booking) applies to all rentals

Change of Drop Off Destination:
If the renter wishes to change the drop
off destination after the rental has commenced,
they first must obtain
authorisation from the Cheapa Campa Head
Office. Subject to the change being approved,
a minimum additional
charge of $500 will apply.
Rental Extension:
If the customer wishes to extend the rental
whilst on hire, they must first obtain authorisation
from Cheapa Campa
Reservations who will advise of the additional
costs. Rental extension is subject to fleet
availability. The extra cost
(Gross Rate) of an extended rental must be
paid by credit card over the telephone or
at a Cheapa Campa Branch
immediately on confirmation of the rental
extension.
Failure to obtain authorisation will result
in the renter being charged double the daily
gross rental rate.
Repairs:
Although we run late model vehicles, it may
happen that small repairs are required. Repairs
up to $100 may be
affected without authorisation and will be
reimbursed unless the damage is caused by
the renter. For amounts over
$100, Cheapa Campa will need to be informed
in advance. All vehicles are covered for
24hr emergency roadside
assistance.
Traffic Infringements:
We reserve the right to charge the renter
for any speeding or parking fines, traffic
infringements or road toll fines. An
additional administration fee of $75 per
fine will apply to cover the costs of processing.
Change Of Vehicle:
Should the vehicle booked be unavailable
through unforeseen circumstances, we reserve
the right to substitute an
alternative vehicle without prior notification
and at no extra cost. This shall not constitute
a breach of contract and
does not entitle the renter to a refund.
Vehicle Category:
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model,
only by vehicle category.
Voluntary Downgrade:
Should the renter decide to take a lesser vehicle
than booked within 14 days of pick up or during the
rental then they
will not be entitled to any refund.
Limit of Liability:
In the event of no alternative vehicle being available
to the renter our liability is limited to a refund
of the hire charge
or in the case of mechanical failure (unless caused
by the renter) the remainder of the hire period.

We reserve the right to refuse any rental at our
discretion.

Travel Insurance:

PROTECTION PACKAGE
Public Liability Insurance:
The public liability insurance is included in
the daily 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.
Liability
Reduction Option (LRO):
A $0 (zero) Liability applies. This Option can
be purchased by paying to Cheapa Campa $15 per
day. The maximum
amount payable for this Option per rental is
$375 – i.e.
25 days rental.
LRO protects against:
-
Accidental
damages
-
Windscreen
and other glass damage
-
Protection
against theft and vandalism
-
Protection against uninsured motorists
Bond:
A Bond of $1,000 will be collected at the
time of entering into the Rental Contract.
The $1,000
will be debited to the
credit card account immediately. An administration
fee of $20 applies.
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.

or salt water.
