Other New Zealand factors to be aware of
- Insurance is not compulsory in New Zealand so even if an accident is not your fault you could still lose your Bond if we are unsuccessful in recovering the costs from the other party involved. This claim process can take months to resolve.
- Roads in New Zealand are hilly, narrow and windy at times. There can also be loose gravel on the side of the roads, which can be flicked up and damage your vehicle or your windscreen. Although this is not your fault unfortunately you will be liable.
- During the summer month’s lots of kiwis tow a boat or trailer behind their car, which slows traffic and encourages people to try and pass where they shouldn’t. They are also more likely to flick stones up into your vehicle and windscreen.
Glass Cover
An additional non-refundable premium of $8 per hire day to a maximum of $320 i.e. 40 days rental will cover you for the loss or breakage of the front windscreen, unlimited stone chips. This cover includes the windows and sunroof also. A windscreen replacement costs $550 and each stone chip costs $75 so we recommend taking Glass Cover if opting for the Standard Bond or upgrade to the All Inclusive which includes Glass Cover.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for full information on insurance options.
