11. Pets:
I will not allow any animals to be carried in the Vehicle, unless otherwise agreed with Just go and an additional security deposit paid and the Just go dog policy adhered to.
12. Insurance (provided all the personal information supplies is correct)
The Vehicle is insured for damage to the Vehicle and the property of a third party; but does not include any personal insurance for the customer (including death or bodily injury to the driver) or their personal possessions. The vehicle insurance is provided by Aon New Zealand Ltd. The hire rate quoted includes a standard excess of NZ$2000.00. In the event of any damage to either the vehicle or third party property, the hirer will be liable for the first NZ $2000.00. The hirer will also be fully liable for all overhead damage, damaged deemed as gross negligence and replacement or repair of windows and windscreens or tyre damage.
13. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
CDW at $45.00 per day will reduce the $2000.00 excess for damage due to a collision (i.e. reported accident) to either the vehicle or third party property to $0.The hirer will however be fully liable for any Overhead damage, replacement or repair to windows and windscreen, tyre damage or damage costs caused through gross negligence. Applies in respect of each incident and or claim, not Rental. Minimum term for CDW is 5 days in winter and 7 days during the summer. Should the Terms and Conditions not be adhered to, the CDW will be void and the customer will be liable in full for all damages. Please note that the CDW Insurance is completely optional and can be decided upon collection of your vehicle. After the hire has commenced, CDW insurance cannot be taken out.
14. Overhead Damage
All drivers must be aware of the (unusual) height of the motorhome and are responsible for all damage if driven under an obstruction that is too low for it to clear – the obvious examples are low bridges and height restrictions into car parks etc. In this event neither the Basic Insurance nor Collision Damage Waiver Insurance will apply and the hirer will be responsible for the repair of all damages. Overhead damage is deemed as any damage to any part of the vehicle which occurs above 6 feet (1.83 metres) and or any third party property.
15. Security Deposit
There is a refundable NZ$2000.00 Security deposit payable by cash, credit card or Eftpos. Should the security deposit be paid by credit or debit card, the amount will be debited from your account immediately. This is fully refundable within seven days of return of the vehicle to the agreed location, on the agreed date and time, in the same condition as it was let out, with the toilet empty, the interior clean including all cooking appliances and the fuel tank and fresh water tanks full. Just go reserves the right to increase the security deposit for specific events e.g. World Cup events, Festivals, clients travelling with pets or any other hire where the Motorhome is carrying 4 or more adults to $3000.00 a) On taking delivery of the Vehicle, I agree to pay the Security Deposit b) I irrevocably authorise Just go NZ Ltd to deduct from the Security Deposit any amounts due by me to Just go arising out of this Agreement. c) The security deposit will be refunded within 7 working days of the vehicle being returned to the correct location, undamaged, with a clean interior and a full fuel tank. We reserve the right to retain a cleaning fee if the motorhome is not returned with the interior in a clean condition. Also the toilet and waste water tank must be emptied prior to the return of the vehicle or an additional $250.00 soiling fee will be retained. d) Should any damages exceed the security deposit the customer will be responsible to settle all additional costs over and above the security deposit value within 7 days of your hire end date. Note: Where the hirer has opted for the CDW option, no excess will be charged in the event of a collision, but they should be aware that the $2000.00 security deposit will be used to fund any loss or damage what so ever to equipment, fixtures and fittings, windows, tyres or negligent damage to the vehicle. Should these damages exceed $2000.00 the customer will be liable for the total cost and the difference will need to be settled within seven days of returning the Motorhome.
