Insurance ExcessExcess amount: NZ$3,000 Excess note: Many of our hirers choose to take out ‘excess waiver insurance’ which can reduce the maximum liability right down to nil (dependent on your age and the insurance option taken). Remember, this is completely optional. Please note that optional excess waiver insurance is only available to hires of 7 days or more in length. If the insurance excess waiver option is taken, it is valid for the first incident or accident only. * The liability is capped but all insurance is waived if the vehicle is being driven in a manner which is outside the agreed terms of our contract e.g. Drunk driving, negligence leading to loss etc. In such instances, the hirers can be held liable for all costs associated with any accident or loss. What is excess? Insurance excess (also known as deductible) is the dollar amount that the hirer must contribute towards the replacement or repair costs of a vehicle during an insurance claim. This means that if an insurance claim is made, the hirer must pay the first portion of the replacement or repair cost. The excess is the maximum amount that the hirer needs to contribute.
