Insurance

The vehicle has comprehensive insurance cover in case of accident damage or loss of contents (excluding personal belongings). The hirers liable up to the excess/deductible for the cost of damage to third party property or to the rented vehicle, including single vehicle accident, windscreen and tyre damage, overhead and underbody damage, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break in or vandalism. The Liability applies in respect of each claim, not per rental. In addition to the Liability, and where our Bond Waiver has been purchased, an administration fee of $150 will be charged per claim. Otherwise, the fee is $450.00 per claim.

Bond

When you collect your vehicle we take an impression of your credit card as the bond for your excess/deductible.  This is the insurance excess for any single accident which may occur during your holiday. The impression of your credit card covers your accident-damage bond liability plus any extra costs such as fuel fill-up, emptying of the toilet at the end of hire, or any traffic infringements, losses or breakages. A credit card imprint must be on all rental agreements and must be the credit card of the main hirer unless prior arrangements have been made. We do not deduct the bond from the credit card, but merely hold the authority to deduct it in the unfortunate event of an accident. Where a credit card is not available, a cash bond will be held by Freedom Campers for 28 Days following hire.

Please Note: For customers who are using debit cards for the security deposit, due to the limitations within Terms of Use for Debit Cards these are treated as cash and the full excess will be debited unless the Bond Waiver is purchased and then a signed imprint will be taken.

Path Seeker, Path Blazer and Path Explorer's – There is an excess of NZ$5,000 (NZ$5,500 for drivers aged under 25 years)  included within our standard rates.

Path Finder’s 2/3 and 4+1There is an excess of NZ$4,000 (NZ$4,500 for drivers aged under 25 years) included within our standard rates.

Optional Coverages

In addition to the insurance cover set out above, the hirer may also choose the Bond Waiver Insurance (BWI) options or Windscreen/Tyre Insurance (WTI) by so indicating on the Rental Document.  The amount of that excess and the daily rate payable in respect of BWI is dependent upon the age of the hirer and the type of vehicle hired.

The excess can be reduced by purchasing one of the following Reduction Options:

Reduction Option 1:

Road User Charges related to Diesel Vehicles 

The New Zealand government imposes a road user charge on users of diesel vehicles. The Customer must therefore pay a road user charge recovery fee on return of the Vehicle to Freedom. The road user charge recovery fee payable by the Customer will be calculated on return of the Vehicle based on the kilometres travelled during the hire and the category of Vehicle booked by the Customer.

The vehicle rates per 100kms are as follows

  • 2+1 and 4+1 Pathfinder, 2 Berth S/T $7.60
  • 4 - 6 berth $8.00

We reserve the right to amend the Road User Charge Recovery Fee in response to changes in Government Road User Charges.

Accessories

Accessories are available to hire off Freedom Campers. It is best to pre order these to guarantee availability. You can still order the accessories at pick up but your first choice may not be available. Please note the Hirer is fully liable for all costs if the accessories are lost, damaged or stolen regardless of what Excess Reduction Option was taken.

Vehicles must be collected and returned to our branches (not airports). A transfer to the Freedom branch from the Airport and vice versa is provided free of charge. This also includes airport area accommodation. Please advise Surname, Reservation Number, Arrival Terminal or hotel name and Number of Passengers requiring collection when you contact us. Our courtesy collection is normally within 30 minutes and operates up to 1 - 1.30 hour prior to close.

Multiple rentals are treated as separate rentals under the one way fee and minimum rental period conditions.

Ferry reservations

Weather by land or sea, Freedom has you covered.  You'll save heaps getting to the other island with rates from our friends at Bluebridge Cook Strait Feries

The two main islands of New Zealand, the North Island and South Island, are separated by sea and require a ferry trip. If you wish to hire from Auckland to Christchurch or vice versa you will require a ferry. The ferry trip takes approx. 3.5 hours and there are several sailings per day in each direction.
During the peak tourist months, November to March, reservations are highly recommended. Ferry pricing is based on the length of the campervan/motorhome. Please consult our vehicle pages for the length of the vehicle.

Travel restrictions

Freedom vehicles can only be driven on public roads sealed/unsealed. No vehicle is to be driven on the following roads: Skippers Canyon Road in Queenstown, The Crown Range Road/Cardrona Valley Road (between Arrow Junction to Cardrona), Ball Hutt Road near Mount Cook, 90 Mile Beach in Northland, Cape Colville to Port Jackson Road in Coromandel.

Vehicles are not permitted on all ski field access roads in both the North and South Islands from 01 June to 31 October. This means you cannot drive your vehicle up to a ski field car park and/or any part of the access road to the ski field. You will be responsible for all damage if travelling on these roads.​

Receipts must be submitted for any repair or the claim will not be paid.

Customer care on road assistance

Any problems associated with the vehicle, including equipment failure, must be reported to Freedom as soon as possible and within 24 hours in order to give Freedom the opportunity to rectify the problem during the rental. Failure to do so will compromise any claims for compensation. Freedom do not accept liability for any claims submitted after this period.
