6. Insurance - For your protection:
Personal injury is covered through the Accident Compensation Commission (NZ) and Registration Third Party Insurance (AU) in most cases, however, Maui strongly recommends that all clients take out Personal Injury Travel Insurance. All vehicles are insured for the damage to the vehicle and to the property of the Third Party. This hirer is responsible for the first NZ$/AU$7,500 (‘the excess’) of the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs. The Excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. This NZ$/AU$7,500 excess can be reduced, in most circumstances, by the purchase of Excess Reduction Option 1 or Option 2.
a. Excess Reduction Option 1: Excess Reduction 1 at NZ$25 or AU$25 per day (max charge NZ$1,250 or AU$2,500) will reduce the excess for Third Party
property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage to NZ$2,500 or AU$2,500.
b. Excess Reduction Option 2: Excess Reduction 2 at NZ$42 or AU$42 per day (max charge NZ$2,100 or AU$2,000) will reduce the excess for Third Party
property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage to NZ$0 or AU$0 (nil).

7. Vehicle Security Deposit: On collection of the vehicle, a Vehicle Security Deposit is payable. If you do not take Excess Reduction Option 1 or Option 2, the Security Deposit is NZ$7,500 or AU$7,500.
If Excess Reduction Option 1 is taken the Security Deposit is NZ$2500 or AU $2500 and is debited from the hirer’s credit card.
If Excess Reduction Option 2 is taken The Security Deposit of NZD$220 or AU$220 is taken as an imprint of the hirer’s credit card.
The Vehicle Security Deposit is fully refundable provided the vehicle is returned on time, undamaged, with a clean interior and with full fuel tanks.

8. A non-refundable surcharge 2% (Mastercard/Visa) and 4.5% (American Express) will apply to all credit card transactions. Credit card surcharges also apply to debited security bonds. In this instance, the surcharge is refunded when the bond is refunded. If a bond is retained, the surcharge is retained.

9. Drivers Licence: A full resident country drivers’ licence, held for at least one year, is to be presented at the time of rental. If the licence is not in English format, an international drivers’ licence is also required.

10. Minimum Age Limit is 21 years. Maximum Age Limit is 75 years A medical certificate is required for drivers over the age of 75 years.

11. Multiple rentals can be combined to qualify the renter for our long term rate. Rentals in New Zealand and Australia can be combined to qualify.

12. Change of Vehicle: Should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen circumstances, Maui reserves 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 hirer to a refund.
