One rental day corresponds to one calendar day, regardless of what time you pick up or drop off your vehicle.

The flex rate that is available at the time of booking for the first rental day determines the daily rental rate for the entire rental period up to the 7h day. Every rental day from the 8th day on are counted as a new booking and the flex rate that applies for the 8th day will be used from then on. The flex rate that applies for the 15th rental day will be used from then, etc.

To find out which flex rate is currently valid for the vehicle you are interested in, just click for a price calculation for the desired rental duration and the lowest available price will be applied. The flex rate is calculated by the rental company on the basis of supply and demand and is adjusted every Friday.

For changes to flex rate bookings the following applies:
The booking is calculated by using either the original flex rate or the flex rate at the time of the booking change, depending on which rate is higher. The following situations are classified as booking alterations.

- Change of pick-up or drop-off date

For important information on this subject please refer to the section 'Equipment & Extras' below.

The local GST and the 3% administration fee are included in all payments made to us. 

For all amounts payable locally in AU$ the following sales taxes are charged on top of the base price: 10% GST, 3% administration fee.

We have sought to provide accurate information on taxes. However, we do not accept responsibility for any changes such as new additional fees charged by the rental company at pick-up time or local tax increases made by the local or federal Australian government.

The standard insurance with insurance cover up to AU$ 10 million and an excess of AU$ 3,500 (Hitop, Endeavour and 2-Berth vehicles), AU$ 5,000 (4- and 6-Berth vehicles) or AU$ 8,000 (all 4WD vehicles) per incident is included in the rental rates. This provides cover for damage to the rental vehicle or to third-party property. The renter and passengers are not insured for bodily damage to themselves as there is no passenger insurance provided by Cheapa.

The renter's excess that comes with the standard insurance is AU$ 3,500 (Hitop, Endeavour and 2-Berth vehicles), AU$ 5,000 (4- and 6-Berth vehicles) or AU$ 8,000 (all 4WD vehicles) per incident for any property damage incurred by a third party or the rental vehicle, regardless of how the damage occurs or who causes it, which includes accidents that are no fault of the renter. Any damage to the windscreen or tyres will need to be paid by the renter in full.

Exceptions:
For a list of uninsured incidents please refer to 'Insurance Exclusions' below.
In Australia third-party insurance is not compulsory. Therefore, in the event of an accident involving an uninsured driver or if a third party flees the scene of an accident the renter will be liable up to the level of the excess even if he/she is not at fault.

You can reduce or eliminate the excess as follows.
- You can book the All Inclusive Option with us in advance (not available locally) which includes the Liability Reduction Option 2 (VIP Cover) with NIL excess
- You can select one of the following excess reduction insurance options with Cheapa Campa locally:

4WD Additional Cover:
This additional cover for AU$ 249 is available for hires of the Cheapa 4WD Camper and 4WD Trailfinder vehicles when either Liability Reduction Option 2 (VIP Cover) or the All Inclusive option have been purchased. Coverage with this offer will protect the renter for:
- Accidental damage to the overhead and underbody sections of the 4WD campers (except for a Single Vehicle Roll Over)
- 2 tyres and 1 windscreen cover
- Damage to the awning/roof top tent
- Unlimited kilometres
- NIL liability
- Towing and vehicle recovery costs from 4WD roads where permission from Cheapa to travel on these roads has been granted (up to AU$ 2,000 per rental)

If the All Inclusive Option has been booked in advance a Single Vehicle Rollover insurance can be additionally purchased locally which costs AU$ 5.50 per rental day (at least AU$ 50).

The respective excess is payable for any damage to the rental vehicle including damage to third party property, in the event of theft, fire, break-ins, vandalism as well as loss of revenue incurred by Cheapa if the vehicle is unable to be rented out due to necessary repairs. With the All Inclusive Option damages to the roof (superstructures incl. TV aerials) and to the underbody are insured. 

There is no insurance cover whatsover if the vehicle is wilfully damaged, damaged due to negligence on the part of the rental party or due to illegal activities or forbidden activities as per the rental agreement. Please refer to the section 'Insurance Exclusions' below for further details.

With the standard insurance the deposit, which covers the amount of the excess of the insurance option you have chosen, is deducted from a credit card at pick-up. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners Club cards are accepted. Pre-paid credit cards, travellers cheques or cash will not be accepted.

The credit card holder must be present to sign for this and he/she is responsible for any damage to the rental vehicle. The deposit can also only be provided by the renter and not split several ways between members of the travelling party.

If you take just the Liability Reduction Option 1 the deposit will be deducted from your credit card. If you choose the Liability Reduction Option 2 (VIP Cover) at pick-up time or you purchase the All Inclusive Option with Motorhome Bookers in advance, the deposit of AU$ 250 (or AU$ 500 for 4WD campers) will be charged. 

NOTE: Please ensure that you have sufficient funds on your credit card before departure.

If the vehicle is returned without damage or third party incident the full amount of the deposit will be reimbursed. The refund can take up to 21 working days. Any changes in foreign exchange rates or fees are borne by the renter. All credit card deductions are made in Australian Dollars. Neither the rental company nor the tour operator is liable to make up any differences that occur between the cost of a deducted deposit and the reimbursement which result from foreign exchange fluctuations or external fees.

The deposit will be reimbursed in full as long as the vehicle is returned in the same condition in which it was collected and with full petrol/diesel and gas tanks. The rental company reserves the right to charge a cleaning fee if the interior of the vehicle is excessively dirty at drop-off. The toilet and waste water tank must be completely empty, otherwise a further fee will be charged. Please refer to the section 'Miscellaneous' / 'Post-hire Cleaning' for further details.

In the event of damage to the rented vehicle or to property of a third party a new deposit will be taken in order to cover any further separate incidents of damage. 

If an accident occurs, the deposit banked to cover the excess in the first instance regardless of who is at fault and is owed to the rental company by the renter even if the damage was not caused by you and is refunded as soon as the rental company receives a payment from a third party. This can of course take some time.

In Australia, third party liabitily insurance is not compulsory. If you have an accident with an uninsured driver or the other person flees the scene of the accident you will be liable for the sum of the excess. The excess applicable for the insurance options mentioned above apply to each individual incident and not on a per-rental basis. If a second accident occurs, a further deposit of the same total will be payable.

All insurance cover is null and void if the terms of the Cheapa Campa Australia rental agreement are breached. Any damage that is caused when the renter acts outside of the rental company conditions is not covered by the insurance. Any damage resulting from a violation of traffic regulations is also not covered by insurance.

Any damage caused by the vehicle rolling over (single vehicle accident) or water and/or saltwater related damage where the renter is at fault is not covered by the insurance. The insurance does not cover damage in case of vehicle submersion, the vehicle being stranded in water, or resulting from driving on causeways or beach driving.
A vehicle rollover is deemed to have occurred where damage to the vehicle results from the vehicle rolling or tipping to such a degree that any or all tyres lose normal contact with the road surface.

Any personal property that is damaged or stolen during an accident, vandalism or a theft is not insured. Private insurance should be purchased in your home country to cover any such issues. In order to avoid theft of personal items from the vehicle it is advised not to leave any valuable items in the vehicle.

In the cases listed below, the renter is fully liable for damage to the rental vehicle and third-party property, i.e. no insurance cover whatsoever is provided:
- Vehicle submersion or the vehicle being stranded in a water area
- Saltwater-related damage
- Damage resulting from creek or river crossings, driving on causeways or beach driving
- Recovery cost of the vehicle if it is bogged
- Damage caused whilst the vehicle is being transported over water
- Activities that breach the rental agreement conditions or are against the law, e.g. driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or dangerous driving (especially with regard to trailers and camping appendages). Here, the renter is liable for the full amount of damage caused either to the rented vehicle or to the property of a third party involved.
- Damage caused by the use of the wrong fuel or if water or oil, etc are not topped up to minimum required levels (causing overheating, frost damage, etc) or where warning signals in the vehicle are ignored
- Costs that arise for towing and recovery of vehicles that have been stranded or submerged as a result of the driver's negligence.
- Any costs associated with losing the fuel, oil or water caps and items in the convenience kits
- Any costs associated with damage or accidents caused by falling asleep whilst driving
- Repairs and towing costs that are incurred because of driving on restricted roads or areas
- Damage caused by false use of snow chains
- Costs for vehicle keys that have either been lost or locked in the vehicle
- If anyone who is not registered in the rental agreement drives the car
- Damage to awnings 
- Damage to underbody and overhead/roof superstructures (if no additional insurance option booked)
- Damage caused by the single vehicle rolling over 
- Personal property that is damaged in an accident or is either stolen or damaged during theft is also not insured
- Wilful damage or damage caused by negligence
- Damage to windscreen and tyre damage (if no additional insurance option booked)

Whilst we appreciate accidents may occur, there are also clearly cases of driver negligence where any insurance coverage is voided. This would include incidents where the driver is found to be in breach of the law in terms of speed, alcohol, drugs, or is found by the police or investigating authority to have been driving in a dangerous or negligent manner. In all such instances, Cheapa reserves the right to pursue full recovery from the renter.

All credit card payments that you make locally at the rental company depot are made in Australian Dollars.

All payments made by credit card locally at pick-up time, i.e. for extras/additional items, the following surcharges will incur:
- Visa Credit or Mastercard Credit card: 2.18%
- American Express/Diners Club: 2.8%
These fees are non-refundable.

For security reasons, Cheapa will only accept credit cards for rental/extras charges paid on vehicle pick-up or drop-off. Cash payments will not be accepted at any branch. The bond is only payable at pick-up by credit card and cannot be paid with a pre-paid credit card.

Neither the rental company nor the tour operator is liable to pay any cost differences that occur between the cost of the deducted deposit and the reimbursement as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations or bank charges.

Where speeding tickets and toll way or parking fines and/or accidents (e.g. that have not been mentioned to the rental company) come to light the rental company reserves the right to invoice the customer for these costs in arrears. In addition to these costs, Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge for associated administration costs processing the fines.

The insurance options offered by the rental company do not include luggage insurance, nor do they include cover for any damage to the driver or passengers. It is therefore recommended that you obtain travel insurance that covers accidents, sickness and loss of luggage prior to departure.

Cheapa requires a national driving licence, which must have all details listed in English. If the important details on the national licence are not in English, you are required to bring a valid international driving licence. An accredited English translation will be accepted in lieu of an international driving permit. Photocopies are not enough.

Every driver is required to have held a valid and full driving licence for at least 2 years prior to the pick-up date. The driving licence must be valid for the entire duration of the rental.

The minimum age for the renter and other registered drivers is 21 years.

Additional drivers can be registered at pick-up time for a fee of AU$ 3 per rental day and driver (max. AU$ 45 per rental and driver). This is free with the All Inclusive option. Anyone wishing to drive the motorhome must have their details entered in the rental agreement.

Before you can collect your vehicle you are required to present a valid driving licence, credit card, your passport as well as the Motorhome Bookers voucher at the depot.

Please note carefully the maximum number of passengers allowed per vehicle as per the details provided when you click on the picture of your vehicle and view the vehicle specifications on our website. Please also inform us if there is a change in the number of people travelling in your party.

Baby seats and booster seats are compulsory in Australia for children up to 7 years of age.

It is not permitted to use child seats from UK/Europe or other countries that do not have the appropriate connection apparatus for motorhomes. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted to sit in the front of any vehicle.

Any additional costs such as higher petrol costs or ferry crossings costs, etc will not be refunded. This does not enable the renter to cancel his/her booking and there is no ground for reimbursement.
