Information disclaimer
The rates on this website are often heavily discounted. This
is due to our negotiated rates and bulk buying power. On very
rare occasions, a rate may be displayed incorrectly due to our,
or a vehicle supplier's error. In such a case, if you book with
us at a quoted rate that is incorrect, we will notify you of any
price change and give you the option to proceed or cancel. We
make every effort to keep information on our site up to date,
but we cannot guarantee this website is free of errors or omissions
and retain the right to update or change the information published
at any time.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law we/the owners of this website
will not be liable to you or to any third party (whether in contract,
tort, or otherwise) for any direct, indirect or consequential
loss or damage (including but not limited to any accident, injury,
delay or loss of enjoyment) arising out of your reliance upon
information contained on this website, including but not limited
to your use (or inability to use) any products or services described
or procured through this website.
When you pick up your vehicle, you will be required to sign a
rental agreement with the supplier of the vehicle. Your rental
and use of the vehicle will be governed by the terms of the rental
agreement and any other documentation or information provided
to you by the supplier at the time you pick up your vehicle. The
rental agreement is between you and the supplier and we will not
be liable to you or to any third party in relation to the terms
of the supplier’s rental agreement or any other
documentation provided to you by the supplier at the time of pick
up.
While we will make reasonable efforts to ensure we are representing
only reputable suppliers, we make no warranty about the fitness
or suitability of any third party (supplier) product or service
and will not accept responsibility for the quality or fitness
of any vehicle. We welcome feedback from our customers on their
experience with our suppliers. We may, at our discretion, provide
you with reasonable assistance in resolving any dispute you may
have with a supplier.
Our total liability to you in relation to your use of this website
and the information contained on this website will not exceed

bookings cancelled due to inclement weather. Again, we strongly
recommend that you take out travel insurance. Your use of this
website is governed by the laws of New Zealand and the jurisdiction
of the New Zealand courts.
Booking information
To make a booking you must complete our booking form which is
easy to follow and secured with the latest encryption technology.
Once we receive your form, we will, subject to availability, confirm
your booking by emailing you a confirmation voucher and invoice.
The deposit required to secure your vehicle (as shown on the secure
booking page) will only be processed on your credit card when
your booking is confirmed. However at the time of booking we do
check that funds are available on your credit card and hold a
pre-authorisation on the deposit amount, which reserves, but does
not process the amount.
A booking is confirmed when you have been emailed a confirmation
voucher and at this stage the deposit is processed on your card
and becomes non-refundable and any cancellation fees stated in
the supplier's terms apply. Upon receipt of your confirmation,
please check your details carefully and notify us immediately
if there are any incorrect details, as it may not be possible
to make changes at a later date.
If you are booking via phone, please make sure you have read
the terms and conditions of the vehicle you wish to rent first.
Our reservations consultant will ask you if you have read the
terms and agree to them before proceeding. The onus is always
on the renter to ensure they make themselves fully aware of the
terms displayed on our website.
Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose
your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide
the requested rental services.
Amendments
Please note that some suppliers treat an amendment as a new
booking and apply the rate current at the time the amendment is
made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days
changed). If the hire is increased, an additional deposit may
be required, while reduction in rental periods or price may reduce
the total, but the deposit amount will remain unchanged. To request
a change to a confirmed booking, please use the alterations request
link on your confirmation.
Vehicle Capacity and fitness to drive
Under no circumstances are you permitted to carry more passengers
than the vehicle you rent is legally registered to carry, and
if you do your insurance may be invalidated. The number of seatbelts
(and passengers) is indicated next to each vehicle on this website.
Luggage capacity where shown is an indication only and we will
not be responsible should you be unable to fit your entire luggage
into a vehicle. It is your responsibility to choose a journey
that is within your capabilities. A vehicle supplier can refuse
to rent a vehicle to any person who is in their opinion unfit
to drive or does not meet eligibility requirements. In such circumstances
we will have no further liability to you.
