2020
- 2021 Flex Rates
Flex Rates give you the very best available price
for the motorhome you want to rent. If you book early
and there are plenty of motorhomes available, you
will pay a much lower price. If you book closer to
departure date or book for a high demand period then
the rate will be higher.
However, once booked, should you need to amend the
dates, the prevailing rates will apply. We get advised
of new flex rates each week. Therefore each quote
only valid until the end of each week.

Rates
are calculated per calendar day
The
flex rate for the entire duration of the rental is determined
by the date of pick-up, location and date of booking.
The daily rate will not change within one booking.
Amendments prior to the vehicle collection date will be re-calculated at the
flex rate applicable on the date of amendment. This applies to changing the
vehicle type, reducing the number of rental days, changing pick-up dates and/or
changing the pick-up or drop-off location. Where the number of rental days
is being extended prior to pick-up (days are being added on at the end of the
rental with no change to the original pick up date), or the bonus pack is being
added
to or removed from the booking, the original flex rate, which applied at the
time of the original booking, will apply.

For
Your Protection - Vehicle Excess
Personal Injury is covered in most cases
through Registration Third Party Insurance.
Britz does not accept any liability for personal
injuries sustained during the rental. Except
where such loss or damage is caused by Britz’s
(or that of its employees or agents) own
negligence or breach of this Agreement, Britz
does not accept liability for any loss or
damage to any personal belongings or
property of the Customer (or any person or
entity related to the Customer). Britz strongly
recommends that the Customer takes out
personal travel insurance to cover any injury
or loss.
If the Liability Reduction Option is not taken, the renter is liable for an excess of AUD $5,000 (for Hitop and Voyager), AUD $8,000 (for 4WD Vehicles) or AUD $7,500 (for all other 2WD campervans) per incident for vehicle damage in the event of an accident. This applies to any material damage to third-party property of the rental vehicle, regardless of who causes the accident. This liability remains in place no matter what until a third party admits liability and makes a payment to cover costs incurred.
In Australia, it is not compulsory for the locals to have third-party insurance. In the event of an accident or if someone flees the scene the renter is liable for any damage caused within the limit of the excess.
You can reduce the level of the excess or waive it as follows:
- The All Inclusive option can be booked in advance with us (see 'Inclusions' above - only available in advance - not at the depot). This option includes the 'Liability Reduction Option' insurance supplement.
- Alternatively, you have the option of purchasing the following insurance option locally as outlined below.

BRITZ STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS
TAKE THE BUNDLE (IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
LIABILITY REDUCTION OPTION) OR THE BRITZ
INCLUSIVE PACK, AND IN THE CASE OF 4WD
VEHICLE HIRE, 4WD MAX COVER FOR TRAVEL
WITH COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND.
Insurance Exclusions
All insurance cover is null and void if the terms of the Britz Australia rental agreement are breached. Any damage that is caused when the renter acts outside of the rental company conditions is not covered by any insurance.
The insurance does not cover water / saltwater damage, including damage resulting from vehicle submersion, the vehicle being stranded in a water area, driving through causeways or beach driving.
Any damage caused by the vehicle rolling over where the renter is at fault is not covered by the insurance, unless you purchase the All Inclusive option. A vehicle rollover is deemed to have occurred where damage to the vehicle results from the vehicle rolling or tipping to such a degree that any or all tyres lose normal contact with the road surface.
Unless you have booked the All Inclusive Option or purchase the Liability Reduction Option locally, any damage to the underbody, roof or roof appendages is not covered. For hires with the 4WD vehicles, any damage to the underbody, roof or roof appandages is not covered unless you purchase the '4WD Max Cover' insurance supplement locally.
Any personal property that is damaged or stolen during an accident, vandalism or theft is not insured. Private insurance should be purchased in your home country to cover any such issues. In order to avoid theft of personal items from the vehicle it is advised not to leave any valuables in the vehicle.
In the cases listed below, the renter is fully liable for damage to the rental vehicle and third-party property, i.e. no insurance cover whatsoever is provided:
- 1) Any Damage due to vehicle use in
contravention of our terms ‘Use of Vehicle’;
- 2) Any Damage caused by wilful misconduct
(e.g. sitting or standing on the bonnet or
roof of the Vehicle) and driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs and negligence
resulting in Damage to the hired Vehicle or
third party vehicle/property;
- 3) Any Damage where the Customer is charged
by local authorities for being careless,
showing gross negligence or wilfulness in
failing to abide by the local road rules,
resulting in Damage to the hired Vehicle or
third party vehicle/property;
- 4) Retrieving or recovering a Vehicle which
may include, but is not limited to a Vehicle
that has become bogged, submerged,
caught, trapped, stuck or restricted in any
way and/or has been abandoned;
- 5) Replacing keys which have become lost,
stolen, or retrieval of keys which have been
locked in the Vehicle;
- 6) Any overhead and underbody Damage to
the 4WD Vehicle however caused – except
where 4WD Max Cover has been purchased;
- 7) Any overhead and underbody Damage to
the 2WD Vehicle however caused - except
where the Liability Reduction Option has
been purchased;
8) Any single Vehicle rollover (as described in
clause 18.1 (a)), except where The Bundle
(in conjunction with the Liability Reduction
Option) or the Britz Inclusive Pack has been
purchased;
- 9) Any towing and Vehicle recovery costs (up
to AUD $8,000) from a 4WD road where
permission is required in advance from Britz
in order to travel (refer to road restrictions
in clause 18.3 (c) for a full list of these roads)
where the Customer has not purchased
4WD Max Cover;
- 10) Damage caused to the Vehicle because total
load (kg) has exceeded recommended load
as stated in vehicle manual;
- 11) Damage caused by 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 learner or
probationary licence;
- 12) Any Damage caused to the Vehicle due to
the incorrect use of snow chains;
- 13) Any Damage associated with the incorrect
use of fuel (fuel being diesel or petrol), this
includes Biofuel which should not be used,
or water or other contamination of fuel;
- 14) Any Damage caused to the Vehicle due to
part or total submersion in water;
- 15) The Customer fitting accessories (as
provided by Britz or otherwise) to the
Vehicle incorrectly or otherwise in a manner
which causes Damage to the Vehicle, the accessories or any other vehicle or
property; and
- 16) using the Vehicle in contravention of any
legislation or regulation controlling
vehicular traffic.
Whilst we appreciate accidents may occur, there are also clearly cases of driver negligence where any insurance coverage is voided. This includes incidents where the driver is found to be in breach of the law in terms of speed, alcohol, drugs, or is found by the police or investigating authority to have been driving in a dangerous or negligent manner. In all such instances, Britz reserves the right to pursue full recovery from the renter.

Ferry reservations can be difficult to manage during high season. We recommend that a reservation is made for a 7.7m vehicle on the ferry, irrespective as to the size of the motorhome reserved, to avoid complications due to possible upgrades.
Vehicle Availability
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by vehicle category.
Britz will endeavour to supply the vehicle
category selected, however should the vehicle
booked be unavailable through unforeseen
circumstances, Britz reserve the right to
substitute an alternative vehicle without prior
notification. The alternative vehicle shall be as
close a substitute for the booked vehicle as
possible.

Should the Hirer decide to voluntarily
downgrade their vehicle category from that
booked, they will not be entitled to a refund.

Please note: no animals are to be
carried in the Vehicle, excluding registered
guide dogs. Britz reserves the right to charge
the Customer’s credit or debit card a cleaning
fee in the amount of AU$250 for any animal
related cleaning.
Shortening of Rental Period:
If a renter shortens their hire period by more than a week - it may be treated as a cancellation of the whole booking and a re-booking. This depends on when the amendment takes place and how many days of hire are being cancelled. Please ensure you always have travel insurance in place.
Cancellation Policy:
- If cancelled up to 91 days prior to pick-up - No Fee
- If cancelled from 90 to 22 days prior to pick-up - 20% of gross rental
- If cancelled from 21 to 7 days prior to pick-up - 30% of Gross Rental
- If cancelled 6 to 1 days prior to pick-up - 60% of Gross Rental
- If cancelled on day of pick up or No-Show - 100% of Gross Rental
- If vehicle is returned early for any reason whatsoever there is no refund available for the unused days.
Booking Amendments
All amendments to bookings are subject to availability of vehicle and/or package. Different rates may apply based on the amendment made.
Amendments prior to the vehicle collection date will be re-calculated at the flex rate applicable on the date of amendment. This applies to changing the vehicle type, reducing the number of rental days, changing pick-up dates and/or changing the pick-up or drop-off location. Where the number of rental days is being extended prior to the vehicle collection date (days are being added on at the end of the rental with no change to the original pick up date), or the Inclusive Pack is being added to or removed from the booking, the original flex rate, which applied at the time of the original booking, will apply.

Britz reserves the right to refuse any rental at its discretion.
