Read our full Rental Terms and Conditions before choosing your protection option.

All amounts are in NZD. Premium Protection is optional at $35 per calendar hire day, including pickup and return days, capped at $3,500 per booking. It must be selected, paid and confirmed before the hire begins. Paying the hire balance alone does not add Premium Protection.

Essential requires a $7,500 card pre-authorisation at pickup. Premium removes that security bond and reduces customer liability to $0 for covered accidental damage. When Premium is selected, paid for the full hire and confirmed before pickup, New Zealand Campervans pays for accidental windscreen chip repair or replacement during the hire. You pay $0 for this windscreen benefit, subject to the rental terms and hirer obligations. This benefit is provided by New Zealand Campervans and does not depend on reimbursement by our insurer.

Except for the separate Premium windscreen benefit described above, covered damage means accidental damage within the applicable policy and rental agreement. Protection remains subject to exclusions and hirer obligations. Excluded damage and other charges remain payable. Ordinary tyre punctures and wear are not covered by Premium; tyre damage may be covered where it forms part of an accepted insured accident.

24/7 roadside assistance: call 0800 888 247 and quote the vehicle registration. Assistance services and additional costs are subject to the provider’s conditions. Fuel, replacement tyres, keys or locksmith work, additional towing, and accident or bogged-vehicle recovery may cost extra. Contact the assistance service first.

Customer liability limits, security bonds and protection fees are contractual arrangements with New Zealand Campervans and are separate from our insurer’s policy excess. Personal belongings are not covered by our campervan policy; we recommend separate travel insurance.
