FOR YOUR PROTECTION – VEHICLE EXCESS (please refer to full terms & conditions)

New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Maui strongly recommends that all people traveling in New Zealand take out personal travel insurance.

All vehicles are insured for damage to the vehicle or to the property of a Third Party. The hirer is responsible for the first NZ$7,500 (“the excess”) of the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of the ‘exclusions’. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet 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 Maui is successful in recovering the cost of the damages from the Third Party. Please note that Third Party claims can take months to resolve.
The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental.

This NZ$7,500 excess can be reduced, in most circumstances, by the purchase of Excess Reduction Option 1
or Excess Reduction Option 2.

Excess Reduction Option 1
Cost per day NZ$22 (max charge NZ$1,100)

Excess reduced to NZ$2,500

When Excess Reduction 1 has been purchased the hirer is responsible for the first NZ$2,500 (“the excess”) of
the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle accident,
windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of
the ‘exclusions’. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident
repairs.

The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental.

Excess Reduction Option 2 2 berth grande
Cost per day NZ$40 (max charge NZ$2,000)

Excess reduced to Nil

With Excess Reduction 2, the hirer will not have to pay any excess at all for any damage to the vehicle or property of a Third Party with the exception of the ‘exclusions’.

Note: Excess Reduction Option 2 is included in the Maui Premium Package

No Worries Cover Option (PCO2)

The No Worries Cover Option is a one off fee of NZ$50 per hire. The No Worries Cover Option is only available when Excess Reduction 2 has been purchased.

Note the No Worries Cover Option is included in the Maui Premium Package.

The No Worries Cover Option extends the cover available with Excess Reduction 2 to include cover for accidental damage to the overhead and underbody sections of the motorhome.

Please note overhead and underbody damage cover is excluded unless the No Worries Cover Option has been purchased.

TYRE AND WINDSCREEN DAMAGE – Where the hire has a nil excess up to one windscreen and two tyre's will be covered for accidental damage. Should these amounts be exceeded the cost to repair or replace the items will not be covered and will be the responsibility of the hirer.

MAUI STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE NO WORRIES COVER FOR TRAVEL WITH COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND.
