Liability Reduction Options

thlTravel Info

When renting a campervan with Mighty Campers in Australia or New Zealand, it’s important to understand your liability options to ensure peace of mind on the road. Accident liability is the maximum amount you’re responsible for per incident, covering damage to the rental vehicle and third-party property. Below, we outline the liability reduction options available in both countries to help you choose the best coverage for your trip. 

Understanding Liability and Deposits

What is Accident Liability? 

This is the maximum amount you’re responsible for per accident, including damage to the campervan or third-party property. The liability amount depends on the vehicle model and the liability reduction option selected. 

What is the Liability Deposit?

 In Australia, a deposit is required upon vehicle collection, which will be debited from a valid credit or debit card. The amount varies based on the liability reduction option chosen. The deposit is fully refundable if the vehicle is returned on time, to the correct location, undamaged, clean, and with full fuel tanks and gas bottle, provided the card used is Visa or MasterCard. American Express surcharges are non-refundable. In New Zealand, a deposit is not debited, but a credit card authority for the liability amount will be recorded at the time of pick-up. 

Important Note

 If the rental agreement is breached or damage has occurred by not adhering to the applicable exclusions (e.g. water submersion, incorrect use of fuel, driving on restricted roads), you may be responsible for all damages, regardless of the liability option chosen. Always review the Mighty Campers Rental Agreement

Recommendations

Mighty Campers strongly recommends purchasing a liability reduction option to minimize financial risk. Additionally, consider personal travel insurance to cover personal injuries, lost/stolen belongings, or other travel disruptions, as Mighty does not cover these. Purchasing personal travel insurance does not directly release you from the liability associated with hiring a Mighty Camper.
