RATE INCLUSIONS

STANDARD EXCESS INSURANCE COVER
All Pacific Horizon Motorhomes come with fully comprehensive insurance cover which insures
against recoverable 3rd party accident damage, theft and break-ins (excluding personal
belongings). A standard excess of NZD$4,500 (per incident) applies in the event of any damage
to either our vehicle or 3rd party property.
Multiple windscreen and tyre damage is also covered in the standard policy as is overhead
and under-body damage on the rented vehicle. A credit card imprint only (no money held or
transferred) will be taken on vehicle collection. The security can be covered by cash, travellers
cheques in NZD or a credit card. Should the insurance excess and the Vehicle Security
Guarantee be covered by credit card the amount will NOT be debited to your account and will
only be done so in case of an accident. We retain the right to hold these details 28 days after
the hire.
Pacific Horizon Motorhomes offer the following options to reduce the Standard Excess:
Street Smart Excess Reduction 1: NZ$21 per day (added to the standard rate) will reduce
the excess for any damage to either the vehicle or third party property to a maximum of
NZ$2,500 (per incident). Multiple windscreen and tyre damage is covered in the standard
policy as is overhead and under-body damage on the rented vehicle. The total insurance
charge is limited to a max of 50 days or NZ$1050. The security can be covered by cash,
travellers cheques in NZD or a credit card. Should the insurance excess and the Vehicle
Security Guarantee be covered by credit card the amount will NOT be debited to your
account and will only be done so in case of an accident. We retain the right to hold these
details 28 days after the hire.
Freedom Plus Excess Reduction 2: NZ$36 per day (added to the standard rate) will waive
the excess for any vehicle and the third party property damage. Multiple windscreen and
tyre damage is covered in the standard policy as is overhead & under-body damage on the
rented vehicle. The total insurance charge is limited to a max of 50 days or NZ$1,800. The
security can be covered by cash, travellers cheques in NZD or a credit card. Should the
insurance excess & Vehicle Security Guarantee be covered by credit card the amount will
NOT be debited to your account & will only be done so in case of an accident. We retain the
right to hold these details 28 days after the hire.
