Excess options also do not cover the cost to replace keys which have been lost or the
cost of retrieval of keys which have been locked inside a vehicle. All excess options are void if the terms of the rental agreement are breached.

INSURANCE EXCLUSIONS
a) Water submersion or salt-water damage is not covered by any insurance option.
b) Personal belongings are not covered. We recommend the hirer does not leave valuables in the vehicle and should take out personal insurance.
c) All Excess Reduction is void if the terms of the Rental Agreement are breached. The hirer will be responsible for the total cost of any damage. This will also include any damage caused by wilful conduct (e.g sitting or standing on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle) and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
d) The vehicle is wilfully or recklessly damaged by the hirer or any other person named in the Schedule to this agreement or driving the vehicle under the authorisation of the hirer, or is lost as the result of wilful or reckless behaviour of the hirer or any such person. (Note: Punctures, damage to tyres, rims, burning out a clutch and any damage arising from using the vehicle to
propel any other vehicle are regarded as wilful or reckless damage).
e) None of the insurance options cover the incorrect use of fuel (fuel being diesel or petrol). The hirer will be responsible for any associated costs.
f) The hirer will be responsible for the cost to retrieve or recover a vehicle, which has become bogged, regardless of the insurance options taken.

k) The vehicle is operated outside of the hire or any agreed extension of that term.
l) It is agreed between the owner and the hirer that section 11 of the Insurance Law Reform Act 1977 shall apply with respect to the above exclusions as if this clause constitutes a contract of insurance.
m) The hirer acknowledges that he/she shall be liable in respect of the first of the damage or loss referred to in the insurance cover specified in this clause to the amount of the excess shown in the Schedule. This applies to damage or loss resulting from the theft or conversion or attempted theft or conversion of the vehicle.

BOND
a) A bond is required for all hires. You will be asked to sign a separate security bond in the form of a credit card imprint. This bond is held by the owner and is NOT banked; it is our guarantee that the hirer will return the vehicle on time and in the condition that it was hired in.
b) The owner reserves the right to bank the bond excess for a period of up to 3 months after the termination of the hire agreement to cover the cost of un-notified parking or speeding infringements or damage to third parties or their property.
c) Where the third party causes damage, the hirer is liable for damages as specified in their rental agreement. As insurance is not compulsory in New Zealand there is no guarantee that these damages will be recovered, therefore the bond may be banked and not refunded.
d) Where the car has been returned during or outside office hours and the vehicle has undiscovered damage to the windscreen or body of the car not covered by insurance, the client will be charged and sent a letter summarizing the cost of repairs.
e) A bond shall be taken for each accident. In the event of a replacement vehicle being dispatched, the bond will be twice that of the original vehicle.
