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 7th 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 on www.motorhomebookers.com 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 Sunday.

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
- Change of pick-up or drop-off location (depot)
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change
- Change of flex rate through Cheapa Campa or introduction of special offers afterwards

If you decide to extend your hire by 2 days and this is approved (a change of drop-off date, not location or vehicle) the additional rental days will be charged according to the flex rate that applied when the booking was originally made. From 3 days or more the normal rules regarding changes apply as outlined above.

If a change is made to your booking with in 14 days of the pick-up date no rental days will be refunded if the hire is shortened. All rental days will be charged as originally booked.

Booking amendment fee:
The first change only is at no charge. The second and subsequent changes are at NZ$ 25 per aspect, per change.

The cancellation fees apply as stated in Motorhome Bookers' booking conditions.
If the vehicle is collected later than the pick-up day booked, or returned earlier than booked no refunds will be provided.

For important information on this subject please refer to the section 'Equipment & Extras' below.
If you require a baby seat or booster seat please let us know the child's age and weight when you book. You need to book the seats in advance.

NOTE: If you have a baby between 0-6 months of age you can not rent a vehicle from Cheapa as they do not allow baby capsules to be fitted to any of their vehicles. Baby and booster seats can only be fitted in the Cheapa 4-berth and 6-berth vehicles.

If you book the All Inclusive Option with us, these seats are included in the total price (pending availability, if requested with the booking and as long as the seats are suitable for the vehicle in question).

- Cheapa 4-Berth and 6-Berth: NZ$ 8.02 per 100 kilometres driven

For all amounts payable locally in NZ$ the following sales taxes are charged: 15% GST.

We have sought to provide this information as accurately as possible. However, we cannot accept responsibility for any changes such as new additional fees charged by the rental company at pick-up time or sudden local tax increases that may be made by the New Zealand government.

The standard insurance with insurance cover up to NZ$ 5 million and an excess of NZ$ 3,500 (Hitop, Endeavour and 2-Berth vehicles) or NZ$ 5,000 (4- and 6-Berth 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 Campa.

The renter's excess that comes with the standard insurance is NZ$ 3,500 (Hitop, Endeavour and 2-Berth vehicles) or NZ$ 5,000 (4- and 6-Berth 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 New Zealand 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 the excess reduction insurance options with Cheapa Campa locally:

Hitop/Endeavour/2-Berth vehicles

 
4- and 6-Berth vehicles

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 Campa if the vehicle is unable to be rented out due to necessary repairs.

*Tyre damage or damage to the windscreen, awning, underbody and overhead have to be paid by the renter in full. 

If the All Inclusive Option was booked in advance damages to overhead superstructures (incl. aerials) and underbody are insured and it is possible to purchase a single vehicle roll over insurance locally at NZ$ 5.50 per rental day (min. NZ$ 50).

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.

In the event of any damage/accidents caused by the renter or one of the registered drivers on a ski field or camping ground access road but not involving a third party the renter will be liable for an additional excess of NZ$ 3,500 (Hitop, Endeavour and 2-Berth vehicles) or NZ$ 5,000 (4- and 6-Berth vehicles).

With the standard insurance the deposit (which covers the amount of the excess - depending on which insurance option you opt for) is deducted from a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners Club are accepted), at pick-up. 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 or you purchase the All Inclusive Option with Motorhome Bookers in advance the deposit of NZ$ 250 will be authorized.

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 reimbursement of the deposit 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 New Zealand 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 excess (in the form of the deposit provided at pick-up time) is banked 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 New Zealand third party liability 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 applies 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 New Zealand 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 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.

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 in the following cases:
- 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 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 the 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
- Personal property that is damaged in an accident or is either stolen or damaged during theft is also not insured
- Wilful damage and damage caused by negligence
- Damage to windscreen and tyre damage is not covered and need to be paid by the renter in full

The following incidents are insured if an additional insurance is booked: 
-damage due to vehicle roll over
-damage to underbody and overhead (superstructures)

Important note: Should the vehicles be equipped with an awning for resale (partially - only New Zealand), the use of it is not possible and strictly prohibited.

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 New Zealand Dollars.

All payments made by credit card - e.g. if you purchase any optional extras at pick-up time, will incur the following surcharges:
- Visa/Mastercard: 2%
- American Express/Diners Club: 2.8%
This fee is non-refundable. 

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 external fees.

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.

It is compulsory to have a valid national driving licence in order to be allowed to drive in New Zealand. If your national licence does not include the relevant details in English, an international driving licence will also be required along with your national licence. An accredited English translation will be accepted in lieu of an international driving permit. Photocopies are not accepted.

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 whole lenght of the rental.

It is a legal requirement in New Zealand - in the case of a random police check- that any renter who possesses a national driving licence in any other language other than English is also able to present either an international driving licence or an officially authorised English translation of their license. This must be presented along with the national licence and one is not valid without the other.

The minimum age for the renter and other registered drivers is 21 years. All drivers are required to have held a full and valid driving licence for at least 2 years and to be present at pick-up time.

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

However, it reserves the right, if due to unforeseen circumstances it has to provide either a vehicle of the same or a higher value without upgrade costs if the model booked is not available for any reason. 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. Even though all vehicles have similar equipment and designs small differences in vehicle design may exist. All measurements and size indications are approximate values and are based on the information provided to us by the rental company. We can not accept responsibility for any mistakes or human error in the provision of these details. This information on our website can be changed at any time without prior notice.

If you hire a Cheapa 4-Berth or 6-Berth Motorhome, we recommend booking a ferry based on a 7.7m in length vehicle.
The ferry crossing takes approx. 3 hours and is an enjoyable experience. You can find detailed information including on how to book it directly on the internet by visiting the Interislander website.
