Name of Operator: Cheapa Campa (Apollo Brand)
Travel Insurance: We strongly recommend that renters ensure they take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.
Rental Charges A Rental Day is determined on a “per night” basis. The pick-up day is counted as the first rental night and there is no charge for the last rental night. Vehicles can be picked and dropped off during office hours. Operator branches are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4.30pm (latest drop off time is 4pm), and Saturday from 9am to 12pm (latest drop off time is 11:00am). Branches will be closed on Sundays and public holidays.
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Public Liability Insurance: The public liability insurance is included in the daily rental rate. Operator is insured for damages to third parties and/or their property up to a limit of US$1 million. The public liability insurance that covers the registered drivers is only up to the statutory limit as stipulated by law of the State you are in at the time. This insurance amount is normally very low.
Top Service Inclusion: Operator has included an additional SLI third party insurance policy in the rental rates which increases the driver’s public liability insurance level to US$1 million – well above the statutory limits.
The maximum SLI insurance covers claims made by third parties against the rental company or the renter of the motorhome (for damage to third parties or their property). Passengers in the rented motorhome are not counted as third parties and the driver is therefore not insured for claims brought by them against him/herself.
Property Damage: The renter is responsible up to the amount of $1,500 for the cost of damage to the rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to the operator, not at the completion of the rental Period. In addition to the Liability an administration fee of $75 will be charged per claim.
Standard Liability: Operator’s rental charge includes a Standard Liability of $1,500.
A Bond of $1,500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. The $1,500 will be debited to the credit card account immediately. An administration fee of $30 applies.
Liability Reduction Option (LRO): A $0 Liability applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to the operator $15 per night. The maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $600 – i.e. 40 nights rental. LRO protects against:
- Accidental damages - Windscreen (1 windscreen covered per rental) - Protection against theft and vandalism - Protection against uninsured motorists -Tyre damage (2 tires covered per rental)
A Bond of $500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. The $500 will be debited to the credit card account immediately. An administration fee of $10 applies.
Bond: For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a Bond. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the Bond upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location on time, is full of fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been complied with. If there is damage to the vehicle on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the amount of the relevant Liability. However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and the Bond is insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
Full Responsibility: At all times the renter is responsible for: • Damage caused where the terms of Rental Contract have been breached. • Damage caused by negligence. • Damage caused to the Vehicle in any way by part or total water submersion or salt water. • Damage caused due to a single vehicle roll over. • Damage caused to the Vehicle by the renter’s willful conduct. • Damage caused to the Vehicle when using the Vehicle in contravention of any legislation or regulation controlling vehicular traffic. • Damage or loss caused to any personal belongings. • Damage caused due to use of incorrect or contaminated fuel. • Damage to the awning, slide out, overhead or under body of the Vehicle.
