Accident Liability Reduction Options 

When you rent a campervan, it's important to know you're protected should the unthinkable happen. All Backpacker campervans are insured for damage to the vehicle or to the property of a Third Party (Standard Cover).

Although all Backpacker Campervan rentals have insurance cover, there are different levels of Accident Liability and Security Deposit that can be selected to reduce the stress when on the road.

Choose your travel period below to see the details of the Accident Liability Reduction Options available.

Terms explained

What is Accident Liability?
Accident liability is the maximum dollar amount (cost) per accident the hirer is responsible for should there be an accident. This includes damage to the rental vehicle and any third party property. The Accident Liability that will apply can be reduced by selecting from one of the above Liability Reduction options.

What is Security Deposit?
The Security Deposit is required as a deposit upon the collection of your vehicle. The Security Deposit can be a full debit from the credit card supplied (all funds processed against your card) or simply an imprint (a dollar amount recorded against your card with no payment processed). The dollar amount and whether it is to be a debit or an imprint is determined by the Liability Reduction option selected as mentioned above.

Is the Security Deposit refundable?
The security deposit is fully refundable provided the vehicle is returned on time, to the correct location, undamaged, in a clean condition and with full fuel tanks (fuel being petrol or diesel) and gas bottle. Except where the Pre-Purchase Gas Option (included in the Smart Pack) and/or Pre-Purchase Fuel has been pre-purchased.

Daily Rate Maximum Charge
The maximum charge for any Liability Reduction Option will be the daily rate x 50 days.
