2024
/ 2025 Flex Rates
Flex Rates allows us to offer flexible pricing, which gives you the opportunity to secure the best possible rental rate. The Flex Rates are based on a very simple system of supply and demand. So when there are a large number of vehicles available for hire from a particular branch then the rental rate is lower.
This way you can benefit from the lower rates offered. Generally, this means that the earlier you book the cheaper the rate! There will also be great Standby Rates! |

Liability and Comprehensive Insurance Protection:
The renter bears the costs of any damage that occurs
during the rental period while using the vehicle in accordance
with the contract up to NZD $7,500 per
case of damage.
If the damage is caused by
intent or gross negligence, especially if the renter was
unable to drive due to the consumption of drugs or alcohol,
the liability limitation does not apply. The same applies
to any damage caused by not observing traffic sign 265 (maximum
vehicle height on a road). Despite the agreed limitation
of liability, the renter is moreover fully liable for any
damage caused by failure to observe the vehicle dimensions
(vehicle height and width), by improper loading and unloading
and by the load or by driving backwards without being directed.
The renter is liable for any
damages claimed by a third party against him/her or against
McRent that the renter has caused to a third party during
the use of the object of rental. The renter is liable for
all fees, levies, fines, and punishments that are imposed
on the lessor in connection with the use of the vehicle unless
they are caused by fault of the lessor.
There are two liability reduction
options available.
CDW Insurance Option 1 - NZD $39 per day to reduce the excess to NZD $1,000 per damage. *
CDW Insurance Option 2 - NZD $69 per day to reduce the excess to NZD $500 per damage * (RUC & AdBlue included).
* Limited for the first collision only. Applies only in case of accident. Deductible for any following collisions is NZD $7,500 per claim.
Awning:
An awning is affixed to all McRent motorhomes in New Zealand, but the handle to operate it is not included unless requested. Please be aware that awning damages are not covered by our insurance and a NZD $2,000 liability applies outside of the standard security deposit to cover any damages found at the end of hire.
Authorised Drivers:
The vehicle may only be driven by the renter himself / herself and by the drivers
specified in the rental contract.
Visa New Zealand:
We would like to inform you that all customers from visa waiver countries, who travel to New Zealand on or after 1st October 2019, must apply for an eTA before they leave.
Detailed information about the NZeTA can be found here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/nzeta.
Hirer's can apply for an eTA online on the following website: https://nzeta.immigration.govt.nz/ Or via the NZeTA mobile app.
Substitute Vehicle:
In case the reserved vehicle cannot be made available at the rental station,
the lessor reserves the right to provide a vehicle that is comparable in
size and equipment or bigger. That will not cause any additional rental costs
for the renter. If a smaller vehicle is offered and accepted by the renter,
the price difference of both vehicles is reimbursed. If the provision of
a bigger vehicle causes higher ancillary costs, such as ferry charges and
tolls or operating costs, such costs are to be borne by the renter.

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.
Amendments:
The Hirer may request free date amendments to a confirmed booking up to 40 days prior to the date of the agreed commencement of the rental period subject to the Rental Company having alternative capacityand booking dates available.
The rental rates are based on the current price list valid at the time of the change, unless the hire rate for the alternative dates decreases, in which case the original rental rate will apply. Amendments within 30 days prior to commencement of the rental period are treated as per the following cancellation terms.
