Additional hire charges and conditions of hire

A day pass is available at the time of hire for $16 which will provide you with unlimited usage of toll roads throughout your hire. If the toll pass option is declined at the start of the rental but toll roads and/or bridges are used during the rental period, the hirer will be charged each toll fee plus an administrative fee of $30 per toll incurred.
All drivers must be 21 years or older and hold a full manual/auto drivers licence. Sorry, no ‘L’, ‘P’ or 'E' plate licence holders due to insurance purposes.

KM charges shall be applied at the below listed rates for distance travelled beyond the allotted KMs at the conclusion of the hire.

For all hourly rates (excluding 1HR Ute hire which has 15KMs free) KMs shall be charged at a rate of 39c per KM.

For all day rates (outside of the included 100KMs) KMs shall be charged at the rate of 25c per KM.

All hirers need to pay a deposit on a credit/credit-debit account only on commencement of the hire and are required to have the physical card present. The credit card holder must be present to sign for the credit card on commencement of hire and will need to be present with the same credit card on completion of hire in order to refund the deposit. Standard deposit for hourly hire rates $200; longer time hires of a day rate or longer, interstate or overseas license is $500.
Estimated rental charges are to be paid on the commencement of hire. If a hirer wishes to extend their hire period, they must contact the place of hire and obtain prior approval to ensure the vehicle is not otherwise booked. The extended period must be paid in advance in order to comply with our terms and conditions of hire and for continued insurance cover.
All vehicles must be refuelled to the same level when taken. E.g. hired with full tank, return with full tank. Sighting of your fuel receipt will be requested to ensure vehicle has been refuelled with correct grade of fuel. If hirer does not refuel, additional charges will be incurred.
Our rates are inclusive of one driver. If there will be additional drivers, they must be noted on the hire agreement and a charge of $10 per additional driver per day applies. Should a person other than the noted drivers drive our vehicle, they will not be covered under insurance.
All hires include our standard excess of $5500. This is included on all hires unless insurance waiver has been paid.
The standard excess of $5500 may be reduced by paying a waiver fee of $42 per day; for drivers aged 21-25yrs this will reduce the excess to $1500, for drivers 25-75yrs this will reduce the excess to $1100, for drivers over 75yrs this will reduce the excess to $1750. The insurance excess waiver charge includes the tyre and windscreen cover for the hire period.
This is an additional $2000 excess that is not waiverable and relates to where another driver or vehicle cannot be identified. Permissible weight loading’s are exceeded or overhead and/or underbody damage incurred. This excess is also applicable if the vehicle is impounded.
Applies in the event of any damage to our vehicle and/or any accident/incident our vehicle may have been involved in whilst on hire, regardless of fault.
The hirer is responsible for any tyre and/or windscreen damage that occurs whilst the vehicle is in the hirers possession and will be responsible for the payment to fix/replace any damaged tyres or windscreens. This liability is waived by the hirer by paying the insurance excess waiver (above) of $42 per day to reduce the insurance excess and cover the windscreens and tyres during the hire period.
All vehicles must be returned in a clean and presentable condition. If the vehicle is returned dirty and/or there is cigarette or unpleasant odours in the cab, a cleaning fee will be charged.
