What
exactly is Flex?
Flex Rates allows us to offer flexible pricing, which gives you the opportunity
to secure the best possible rental rate. The Flex Rates are based on a very
simple system of supply and demand. So when there are a large number of vehicles
available for hire from a particular branch then the rental rate is lower.
This way you can benefit from the lower rates offered. Generally, this means
that the earlier you book the cheaper the rate! There will also be great Standby
Rates!

New Zealand can be combined to obtain a long-term discount
rate, providing travel is within a 3 month period. If
drop off of a vehicle and pick up of a new vehicle occurs
on the same day then a day each will be charged per respective
vehicle. Multiple rentals are treated as separate rentals
under the one way fee and minimum rental period conditions.
Ferry
Reservations
Ferry reservations can be difficult to manage during high season. We recommend
that a reservation is made for a 7.3m vehicle on the ferry, irrespective as
to the size of the motorhome reserved, to avoid complications due to
possible upgrades.
Travel
Restrictions:
Two Wheel Drive Vehicles can only be driven on sealed/bitumen roads. The only
exception to this is the last remaining kilometres of loose road surface on
any major ski field access roads or any recognised campground access road less
than 12 kilometres in length.
No vehicle shall be driven on Skippers Road (Queenstown), Ninety Mile Beach
(Northland), Ball Hut Road (Mt. Cook), Bluff Road that runs between Kuatunu
and Mataurangi and North of Colville Township (Coromandel Peninsula).
Cheapa Campa reserves the right at its sole discretion to restrict vehicle
movements in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions.
Rental
Extension
If the customer wishes to extend the rental whilst on
hire, they must first obtain authorisation from Cheapa
Campa
Reservations. This is subject to availability. The extra
cost (Gross Rate) of an extended rental must be paid
by credit
card over the telephone or at a Cheapa Campa Branch immediately
on confirmation of the rental extension.
Whilst
on hire if you decide to extend your rental
duration (changing the drop-off date)
by 2 days the same lex rate is used that
applied on the day when you made your
original booking. If you extend by 3 days
or more, the booking change rule applies
as outlined above.
Failure to obtain authorisation will result in the renter being charged double
the daily applicable rental rate.
Repairs:
Although we run late model vehicles, it may happen that small repairs are required.
Repairs up to NZD $100 may be
affected without authorisation and will be reimbursed unless the damage is
caused by the renter. For amounts over NZD $100, Cheapa Campa will need to be informed
in advance. All vehicles are enrolled in the New Zealand Automobile Association
and 24hr emergency roadside assistance is available.
Infringements
and Administration Fees:
We reserve the right to charge the renter for any speeding, toll way or parking
fines not reported on return of the
vehicle. In addition to these costs, Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge
for associated administration costs for processing the fines (irrespective
of excess). An administration fee of NZD $75 will be applicable.
Change Of Vehicle:
Should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen circumstances,
we reserve the right to substitute an alternative vehicle without prior notification
and at no extra cost. This shall not constitute a breach of contract and does
not entitle the renter to a refund.
Vehicle
Category:
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by vehicle category.
Voluntary Downgrade:
Should the renter decide to take a lesser vehicle than booked within 14 days
of pick up or during the rental then they will not be entitled to any refund.
Limit of Liability:
In the event of no alternative vehicle being available to the renter our liability
is limited to a refund of the hire charge or in the case of mechanical failure
(unless caused by the renter) the remaind of the hire period.
Important:
We reserve the right to refuse any rental at our discretion.

Service dogs are permitted to travel in our vehicles with prior permission
from Cheapa. No other animals are permitted in our vehicles.

Booking
Amendments:
If you wish to make any changes to your booking the booking will be calculated
by using either the original flex rate or the flex rate that is valid at the
time of the booking change, depending on whichever rate is higher. There are
no exceptions to this rule. The following situations are classified as booking
alterations:
- Change of date for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of location (depot) for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change
If you decide to extend your rental duration (changing the drop-off date) by
2 days the same flex rate is used that applied on the day when you made your
original booking. If you extend by 3 days or more, the booking change rule applies
as outlined above.
If an amendment is made to the rental dates within 14 days of collection, no
refund will be made if the length of hire is shortened (that is; the rental will
be charged at the number of days originally booked). A relocation fee may apply
if the collection or return location is amended within 14 days of vehicle pick
up or if notification occurs during the hire.
Travel Insurance:
We strongly recommend that renters ensure they take out the highest level of
Travel Insurance.
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Personal Injury:
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Chepa
Campa strongly recommends that all people travelling in New Zealand take out
their own personal travel insurance.
Property
Damage:
The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third
party. However the renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable
Liability for the cost of such damage to third party property, or to the rented
Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of demurrage for the period
the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability applies in respect
of each claim, not per rental. In addition to the Liability an administration
fee of NZD $75 will be charged per claim.
The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid
at the time the accident is reported to Cheapa Campa, not at the completion
of the rental Period. Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge the renter
for any vehicle damage including Third Party property damage not reported on
return of the vehicle.

Bond:
For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a Bond. With
the Standard Liability and Liability
Reduction Option 1 the bond will be debited to the credit card account immediately.
An administration fee equal to the merchant surcharge applies. With Liability
Reduction Option 2 the Bond is payable to Cheapa Campa by an open signed credit
card imprint with an authorisation obtained (sufficient funds must be available)
for NZD $250. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the Bond
upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable
for any damage to the rental vehicle.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location
on time, is full of fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been
complied with. If there is damage to the vehicle on its return, the Bond will
be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the amount of the relevant Liability.
However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and the Bond is insufficient
to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
Bond
Roll Overs are permitted for Cheapa
Campa multi hires only within the same
country when the bond is banked.
Full
Responsibility:
At all times the renter is responsible for:

- Damage
caused due to use of incorrect or contaminated
fuel.
- Damage
to the awning, overhead or underbody
of the Vehicle.
Shortening of Rental Period:
If a renter shortens their hire period by more than a week - it may be treated as a cancellation of the whole booking and a re-booking. This depends on when the amendment takes place and how many days of hire are being cancelled. Please ensure you always have travel insurance in place.
