FOR YOUR PROTECTION – VEHICLE EXCESS
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Maui strongly recommends that all people travelling in New Zealand take out personal travel insurance.
All vehicles are insured for damage to the vehicle or to the property of a Third Party. The hirer is responsible for the first NZ$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, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of the ‘exclusions’. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs.
The excess is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident report is completed, not at the completion of the rental. The excess will be refunded if Maui is successful in recovering the cost of the damages from the Third Party. Please note that Third Party claims can take months to resolve.
The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental.
Please see the ‘exclusions’ section below, whereby all insurance cover will be made void.
This NZ$7,500 excess can be reduced, in most circumstances, by the purchase of Excess Reduction Option 1
or Excess Reduction Option 2.
Excess Reduction Option 1
Cost per day Excess reduced to
NZ$20 (max charge NZ$1,000) NZ$2,500
When Excess Reduction 1 has been purchased the hirer is responsible for the first NZ$2,500 (“the excess”) of
the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle accident,
windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of
the ‘exclusions’. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident
repairs.
The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental.
Please see the ‘exclusions’ section below, whereby all insurance cover will be made void.
Excess Reduction Option 2
Cost per day Excess reduced to
NZ$38 (max charge NZ$1,900) Nil
With Excess Reduction 2, the hirer will not have to pay any excess at all for any damage to the vehicle or property of a Third Party with the exception of the ‘exclusions’.
Note: Excess Reduction Option 2 is included in the Maui Premium Package
Please see the ‘exclusions’ section below, whereby all insurance cover will be made void.
No Worries Cover Option (PCO2)
The No Worries Cover Option is a one off fee of NZ$50 per hire. The No Worries Cover Option is only available when Excess Reduction 2 has been purchased.
Note the No Worries Cover Option is included in the Maui Premium Package.
The No Worries Cover Option extends the cover available with Excess Reduction 2 to include cover for accidental damage to the overhead and underbody sections of the motorhome.
Please note overhead and underbody damage cover is excluded unless the No Worries Cover Option has been purchased.
TYRE AND WINDSCREEN DAMAGE – Where the hire has a nil excess up to one windscreen and two tyres will be covered for accidental damage. Should these amounts be exceeded the cost to repair or replace the items will not be covered and will be the responsibility of the hirer.
MAUI STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE NO WORRIES COVER FOR TRAVEL WITH COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND.
EXCLUSIONS:
All insurance cover will be made void if any of the following ‘Exclusions’ are breached:
1. Overhead and underbody damage to the vehicle – except where No Worries Cover has been purchased.
2. Any water related damage which includes, but is not limited to:
a) any vehicle submersion
b) creek or river crossing
c) driving through low plain flooded areas
d) beach driving
3. Personal belongings. Maui recommends the hirer does not leave valuables in the vehicle and that they have insurance to cover for the loss/damage of personal belongings.
4. Any damage caused by willful misconduct (e.g. sitting or standing on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle).
5. A single vehicle roll over occurs.
6. Any damage caused while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
7. The Customer will be liable for any costs associated with the incorrect use of fuel or the use of Bio- Diesel which should not be used (fuel being diesel or petrol), or water or other contamination of fuel.
8. The cost to retrieve or recover a vehicle, which may include, but is not limited to a vehicle that has become bogged, submerged or has been abandoned.
9. The cost to replace keys, which have been lost or retrieval of keys, which have been locked in a vehicle.
10. The vehicle rented may only be used to carry the maximum number of passengers as dictated by the vehicle type. If more passengers are carried than what is allowed Maui does not accept any liability.
11. Drivers not identified on the rental agreement and/or drivers that have a licence that has been cancelled or suspended and/or drivers who have a licence that is classified as a learners or probationary licence.
VEHICLE SECURITY DEPOSIT#
Upon vehicle collection, a security deposit is required. The amount is determined by the Excess Reduction Option selected.
For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a vehicle security deposit. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the vehicle security deposit upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle.
# In the USA a vehicle security deposit is referred to as the “deductible”.
Debited bonds are subject to a 1.75% credit card administration fee in addition to the bond amount when the credit card used is either a Visa or MasterCard. This administration fee is refunded when the bond is refunded. If a bond is retained the administration fee is retained.
Debited bonds are subject to a 4.5% credit card administration fee in addition to the bond amount when the credit card used is an American Express card. This administration fee is not refunded when the bond is refunded.
If you do not take an Excess Reduction Option, the security deposit is NZ$7,500 payable by credit card.
The NZ$7,500 is debited to the hirer’s credit card when the vehicle is collected. For this reason it is important that the hirer have the funds available on the credit card and that the amount does not exceed the hirer’s daily withdrawal allowance.
If Excess Reduction Option 1 has been taken the Security Deposit is NZ$2,500.
The NZ$2,500 is debited to the hirer’s credit card when the vehicle is collected. For this reason it is important that the hirer have the funds available on the credit card and that the amount does not exceed the hirer’s daily
withdrawal allowance.
If Excess Reduction Option 2 is nominated with or without No Worries Cover or the package booked is the Premium Package the security deposit is NZ$220.
The NZ$220 is taken as an imprint to the hirer’s credit card when the vehicle is collected. An imprint simply records a figure against the hirer’s credit card of NZ$220 that Maui can then debit if required.
The security deposit is fully refundable provided the vehicle is returned on time, to the correct location, undamaged, with a clean interior and with full fuel tanks (fuel being petrol or diesel) and gas bottle. Except where the customer has purchased PGO (PGO is included in the Maui Premium Package) and/or Pre
Purchase Fuel (PPF), failure to return the vehicle with full petrol or diesel tanks and/or a full LPG bottle will result in refill charges, which will be advised upon return of the vehicle.
Maui reserves the right to retain a NZ$220 cleaning fee if the vehicle is not returned in a clean condition. The toilet and waste water tank must be emptied prior to the return of the vehicle, or an additional NZ$125 soiling fee will be retained.
FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, ONLY THE HIRERS CREDIT CARD CAN BE USED FOR VEHICLE SECURITY DEPOSITS.
EXCHANGE RATE / CURRENCY VARIATIONS
All credit card transactions are conducted in New Zealand dollars. Due to exchange rate fluctuations and/or
bank transaction fees there could be some variance in the amount refunded compared to the amount initially
charged. Maui does not accept any liability for variances up or down.
CREDIT CARDS
The credit card holder will be jointly and severally liable as a customer. Accepted credit cards are Visa Card, MasterCard and American Express. A non-refundable 1.75% administration fee will apply to all Visa and MasterCard transactions. A non-refundable 4.5% administration fee will apply to American Express cards. Credit card administration fees also apply to debited security bonds and only the hirer’s credit card is acceptable to use for the purpose of the security bond. Please refer to the vehicle security section above for more information.
CALCULATION ERRORS
Maui will not honour calculation errors. Should a calculation error occur Maui will charge for the shortfall.
LICENCE
A current and full motor vehicle driver’s licence is required and must be produced upon vehicle collection. Should a foreign licence be in a language other then English it must be accompanied by a current international driving permit issued in the same country as the driver’s licence was issued. An accredited English translation will be accepted in lieu of an international driving permit.

The rental extension is subject to vehicle availability. The cost of an extended rental must be paid by credit card over the telephone on confirmation of the rental extension.

Consecutive motorhome hire in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and/or consecutive car hire in New Zealand for both Maui and Britz can be combined to qualify if the vehicle collection date/s are within a 3-month period. For all rentals to qualify each booking needs to be made at the same time. If a customer makes another booking at a later time, the new booking can be combined to qualify if the vehicle collection date/s are within a 3-month period however, the original booking/s will only qualify for a discount if the booking/s are not already travelling or travelled.
Note that 2WD car hire in Australia cannot be combined with any campervan or New Zealand car hire to qualify for longer-term discounts.
Longer-term discounts must be requested at the time of booking.
For motorhomes that pick up and drop off on the same day, the less expensive rental day will be free of charge. This also applies to the Excess Reduction Option or the Maui Premium Package if applicable.
If multiple hires are within the same country and total days exceed 50 days only the maximum charge applicable to the Excess Reduction Option or the Maui Premium Package will apply. If combining a vehicle hire with another Maui vehicle that has a more expensive Premium Package or Excess Reduction Option, the more expensive Premium Package/Excess Reduction maximum cost is applied. In the instance where a Maui hire is being combined with a Britz hire and the packages have either the Premium Pack or the Bonus Pack these components cannot be combined to have a maximum charge applied however the vehicle rate can have a longer-term discount applied if applicable.
