Minimum rental period 5 days
Vehicle rentals are calculated on a per calendar day basis, the day of pick up or drop-off is always counted as a full day irrespective of what time it is collected or dropped off.
Late pick up or early return of vehicle does not entitle the hirer to any refund of the unused portion of the rental.
The vehicle must be returned to the Warkworth or Christchurch depots by 4 pm or other prearranged place by 3pm on the day of drop off. Late returns will incur the charges set out below.
Late returns will be charged on a per day basis. A charge of $50 per extra hour applies (maximum charge of the daily rental rate). Failure to obtain authorisation for a rental extension will result in a daily fee of $150.00 in addition to the daily rate.
When a rental moves from one rate season into the next, the calculation is based on both rates.
Special conditions apply for rentals of more than 50 days
The cancellation fees are:
Deposit you have paid is non refundable
• If cancelled up to 28 days prior to pick up = deposit
• If cancelled from 27-6 days prior to pick up = deposit + 20% of gross rental
• If cancelled 5-1 day before pick up = deposit + 50% of gross rental
• If cancelled on day of pick up or no show = deposit + balance of gross rental
• If vehicle is returned early = no refund available
If the hirer wishes to change the drop-off destination after the rental has commenced, they first must obtain authorisation from Eurocampers. Subject to the change being approved, the one way rental fee of $150.00 may apply.
