PRICE NOTES
Vehicle types and/or layouts may vary due to unforeseen circumstances without prior notification.
† Special Offer - 1 Aug - 15 Sep 08
Minimum hire of 7 days (any hire of 5 or 6 days must be booked at the normal rate). This 20% discount offer cannot be used in conjunction with other special offers.
- Minimum hire period is 7 days for 4 & 6 berths and 5 days for all 2 berths and Spirit 4WD (except for hires between 15 Dec 08 - 5 Jan 09 when a 7 day minimum applies for all rentals).
- Minimum rental periods are subject to change during peak periods.
- All one way rentals have a 7 day minimum hire period.
- Minimum age for drivers is 21 years. Drivers aged 75 or over require a medical certificate stating they are fit to drive.
- A full driver's licence is to be presented at the time of rental. For new style 2 part UK licences both the photocard and paper counterpart are required, but an older paper licence is sufficient with a form of photo identification such as a passport (if it is a foreign licence in a language other than English, then an international driving permit issued in the same country as the driver's licence was issued is also required).
- Hire is calculated on a calendar day basis, i.e. no matter what time the vehicle is picked up or dropped off, this is calculated as one day's hire. If your rental covers 2 or more seasons, each day's cost is calculated according to the season in which that day falls.

ONE WAY HIRES
Minimum rental period for one way hires is 7 days. One way hires are allowed between all branch locations for a charge of AUS $220 (payable locally). No one way fee is charged where an individual rental is 21 days or more. However if multiple rentals add up to 21 days or more one way fees do still apply.
INSURANCE/EXCESS
The vehicle is insured, however an excess of AUS $7500 does apply. This is the maximum a renter is liable for in the event of loss or damage to the vehicle or third party, provided the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement.
A Vehicle Security Deposit is required for the excess and is held from pick up until the completion of the hire and can only be paid for by credit card. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the security deposit upon vehicle collection. A 1.75% credit card surcharge applies to Visa/Mastercard credit card transactions and 4.5% for American Express. This deposit is fully refundable if the conditions of the contract are met: vehicle must be undamaged; contents must be clean and in a reasonable condition; fuel tank must be full; gas bottle must be full; toilet and waste water must be empty and agreed drop off depot and time must be adhered to. American Express deposits will have the 4.5% fee retained no matter what - we recommend you not to use this type of card. Clients may reduce the level of excess by taking out one of the following insurance policies at the start of the hire:
Excess Reduction Option 1 costs AUS $20/day (AUS $25/day for 4WD) to a maximum of AUS $1000 per rental (AUS $1250/rental for 4WD) and reduces the excess level to AUS $2500 but clients must still pay a reduced compulsory Vehicle Security Deposit of AUS $2500 (see above).
Excess Reduction Option 2 costs AUS $38/day (AUS $47/day for 4WD) to a maximum of AUS $1900 per rental (AUS $2350/rental for 4WD) and reduces the excess level to nil (AUS $440 4WD) but clients must still have a reduced compulsory Vehicle Security Deposit of AUS $220 (AUS $440 4WD) (see above) authorised on a credit card. When purchasing this option an additional 'No Worries Cover' is also available for a one off fee of AUS $50 per hire (AUS $120 4WD) which extends the cover for accidental damage to include the overhead and underbody sections of the motorhome. In both cases the excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. Trailfinders recommends you take the Maui Premium Package for travel with complete peace of mind.
INSURANCE EXCEPTIONS
Overhead and underbody damage to the vehicle are not included unless 'No Worries Cover' or Maui Premium Package has been purchased. No vehicle may be driven off sealed roads. If any vehicle comes into contact with salt water, rivers or causeways all insurance policies become null and void and the hirer is responsible for total replacement of the vehicle. Cover is also null and void in the case of single vehicle rollovers and using the incorrect fuel.
RENTALS IN BROOME
An additional remote location fee of AUS $450 is payable on all rentals picked up or dropped off in Broome (only one fee per rental). This is in addition to the one way fee if applicable.
CAMPGROUNDS
There are lots of holiday parks throughout Australia offering motorhome sites. The holiday parks range from full facility sites where you link to mains water, electricity and drainage and which may have a swimming pool, general store or laundry to the more natural National or State Park campgrounds without these facilities. On collection of your vehicle from Maui you will receive a comprehensive booklet containing detailed information on where to stay, how to get there and what to see. You will also receive a free book of discount vouchers offering fantastic savings on a wide range of accommodation, tours and attractions all over the country!
You may wish to pre-book some of the holiday parks - we suggest you look at the website www.big4.com.au.
