Our Standard insurance excess is $2000.00 + GST and may be reduced to $1000.00 + GST by way of payment of an optional insurance waiver.

This option is not available for our mini buses and Class 4 vehicles and only applies to fully licenced drivers 25 years of age or older.

The insurance excess is payable if there is any damage to the hire vehicle or third party.

Drivers falling into any of these categories will need to pay the excess amount upfront as a bond - fully refunded upon return of undamaged vehicle.
