VEHICLE INSURANCE EXCESS

Registration Third Party Insurance covers Personal Injury in most cases; however, Campabout OZ Pty Ltd recommends that all clients take out Personal Injury Travel Insurance. All damage to the vehicle or to the property of a Third Party is fully covered by insurance. The first $4,500.00 (“the excess") of the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle is the hirer's responsibility (includes single vehicle accident, windscreen and/or tyre damage new replacements, overhead and/or underbody damage, towing and/or recovery costs, vehicle theft, fire or break-in). Also included in this expense is the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is unavailable due to accident repairs. The excess applies to each claim, not each rental.

In the event of an accident, regardless of who is at fault, the excess is applicable and must be paid when the accident is reported, not when the rental is completed. If Campabout OZ Pty Ltd successfully recovers the cost of the damages from the Third Party, the excess will be refunded. It should be noted that Third Party Claims can take an indefinite amount of time to be resolved. Campabout OZ Pty Ltd cannot foresee the outcome of these claims as these decisions are made by the Insurance Company and the Third Party, whether they are insured or not.
