Standard Excess Insurance Cover

All KEA Campers vehicles come with comprehensive insurance cover. A standard excess of NZ$ 5,000 applies in the event of any damage to either our vehicle or third party property. The hirer will also be fully liable for demurrage - the daily rental rate for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs (max 7 days) - and for replacing or repairing damaged windscreens and tyres.

A security bond of NZ$ 5,000 will be taken on vehicle collection. The security bond can be paid by cash, traveller's cheques or credit card. Should the bond be paid by credit card the amount will be debited to your account immediately, any currency fluctuations are not the responsibility of KEA Campers.

The bond is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed location, on the agreed date in clean condition with no damage incurred to the KEA Campers vehicle or third party property, with a full tank of fuel, the toilet cassette and waste water tank emptied and no equipment lost or damaged.

KEA Campers offer the following options to reduce or waive the Standard Excess:

Excess Reduction 1

Excess Reduction 1 at NZ$ 25 per day will reduce the excess for any damage to either vehicle or third party property to a maximum of NZ$ 2,000. The hirer, however, will be fully liable for demurrage - the daily rental rate for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs (max 7 days) - and for replacing or repairing damaged windscreens and tyres.

The bond of NZ$ 2,000 can be paid by cash, traveller's cheques or credit card: a manual imprint of the credit card will be taken. The bond is fully refundable on return of the vehicle to the agreed location, on the agreed date in clean condition with no damage incurred to the KEA Campers vehicle or third party property, with a full tank of fuel, the toilet cassette and waste water tank emptied and no equipment lost or damaged. The total insurance charge is limited to a maximum of 50 days or NZ$ 1,250.

Excess Reduction 2

However, a security deposit of NZ$ 500 is payable at the time of pickup to ensure that the vehicle is returned to the agreed location, on the agreed date in clean condition with no damage incurred to the KEA Campers vehicle or third party property, with a full tank of fuel, the toilet cassette and waste water tank emptied and no equipment lost or damaged. The total insurance charge is limited to a maximum of 50 days or NZ$ 1,900..
