Car Hire Excess Reduction Options 08-09

Cars (01 April 2008 - 31 March 2009)

All vehicles are insured for any damage to the vehicle or to the property of a third party. The hirer is responsible for the “excess” being the first AU$220.00 of the cost of damage to third party property or to the rented vehicle, including windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism. 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. The excess is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident report is completed, or at the completion of the rental, whichever occurs first. The excess will be refunded to the hirer if Backpacker is successful in recovering the cost.

Please note: for those in the USA, “excess” refers to the “deductible”.

Tyre and Windscreen Cover

The excess includes cover for accidental damage to the tyres and front windscreen. The customer does not have to pay for damage to tyres such as punctures, cuts, abrasions or damage to the front windscreen such as chips, cracks and stars.

Please see the ‘Exclusions’ section, whereby all insurance cover will be made void.
