What Influences Our Rental Prices?
-
Rental Duration: The longer you rent, the more value you get. We offer discounted rates that make extended rentals more affordable than daily car hires.
-
Vehicle Type: Compact cars are more affordable, while larger vehicles may come at a higher rate.
-
Seasonal Demand: Prices may change during peak travel periods such as summer holidays or long weekends due to higher demand.
-
Included Services: Our rental prices cover comprehensive insurance, routine maintenance, and 24/7 roadside assistance.
Deposit and Insurance Coverage
-
Prepay: When you book, the first 56 days of your rental (plus any mandatory fees such as one-way charges) are payable upfront. The refundable bond/deposit is only taken when you collect your vehicle.
-
Insurance: Comprehensive vehicle insurance and protection against third - party liability is included with all hires.
-
Liability Reduction: You can reduce your excess liability from $1,200 to $600 by paying a small daily fee. This will also lower the deposit required and cap the maximum amount payable in case of damage.
