Insurance

Excess Reduction Option 1

When Excess Reduction 1 has been purchased the hirer is responsible for the first NZ$2,500 of the cost of damage to Third Party property or to the rented vehicle. This includes single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism with the exception of the 'exclusions'. This also includes the cost of the daily rental for the period the vehicle is off fleet for accident repairs.

The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental.

Excess Reduction Option 2

With Excess Reduction 2, the hirer will not have to pay any excess at all for any damage to the vehicle or property of a Third Party with the exception of the 'exclusions'.

Note: Excess Reduction Option 2 is included in the Maui Premium Package.

TYRE AND WINDSCREEN DAMAGE - Where a nil excess is present unlimited windscreen and tyres will be covered for accidental damage.

MAUI STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE THE PREMIUM PACKAGE FOR TRAVEL WITH PEACE OF MIND.
