Every rental day from the 8th day on are counted as a new booking and the flex rate that applies for the 8th day will be used from then on. The flex rate that applies for the 15th rental day will be used from then, etc.

To find out which flex rate is currently valid for the vehicle you are interested in, just click for a price calculation on www.motorhomebookers.com for the desired rental duration and the lowest available price will be applied. The flex rate is calculated by the rental company on the basis of supply and demand and is adjusted every Friday.

For changes to flex rate bookings the following applies:
The booking is calculated by using either the original flex rate or the flex rate at the time of the booking change, depending on which rate is higher. The following situations are classified as booking alterations.

- Change of pick-up or drop-off date

The standard insurance with insurance cover up to AU$ 10 million (depending on the vehicle) and an excess of AU$ 5,000 per incident for the Hitop, Endeavour Campervan and Vivid Camper and AU$ 7,500 per incident for Euro Tourer, Euro Camper, Euro Star, Euro Slider and Euro Deluxe and AU$ 8,000 per incident for 4WD Adventure Camper, 4WD Trailfinder Camper, 4WD Overlander and 4WD X-Terrain is included in the rental rates. This provides cover for damage to the rental vehicle or to third-party property. The renter and passengers are not insured for bodily damage to themselves as there is no passenger insurance provided by Apollo.

The renter's excess that comes with the standard insurance is AU$ 5,000 / AU$ 7,500 / AU$ 8,000 per incident for any property damage incurred by a third party or the rental vehicle, regardless of how the damage occurs or who causes it, which includes accidents that are no fault of the renter.

Exceptions: For a list of uninsured incidents please refer to 'Insurance Exclusions' below.

In Australia, third-party insurance is not compulsory. Therefore, in the event of an accident involving an uninsured driver or if a third party flees the scene of an accident the renter will be liable up to the level of the excess even if he/she is not at fault.

You can reduce or eliminate the excess as follows.
- You can book the All Inclusive Option with us in advance (not available locally) which includes the full VIP Cover Liability Reduction Option 2 with NIL excess (AU$ 500 excess for 4WD vehicles)
- You can select the excess reduction insurance options with Apollo locally:

Hitop, Endeavour and Vivid Camper

Euro Tourer, Euro Camper, Euro Star, Euro Slider and Euro Deluxe

4WD vehicles

4WD Additional Cover:
This additional cover is available for AU$ 299 (or AU$ 199 for 4WD X-Terrain vehicles) when either Liability Reduction Option 2 or the All Inclusive option have been purchased. This is only availalble with the 4WD Adventure Camper, 4WD Trailfinder, 4WD X-Terrain and 4WD Overlander.
Coverage with this offer will protect the renter for:
- Accidental damage to the overhead and underbody sections (except for Single Vehicle Roll Over)
- Unlimited tyre and windscreen cover (not included with 4WD X-Terrain vehicles)
- Damage to the awning
- Damage to the roof tent
- Towing and vehicle recovery costs from 4WD roads where permission from Apollo to travel on these roads has been granted (up to AU$ 2,000 per rental)
- Unlimited kilometres
- NIL excess (with deposit of AU$ 500)

The respective excess is payable for any damage to the rental vehicle, to third party property, in the event of theft, fire, break-ins, vandalism as well as loss of revenue incurred by Apollo if the vehicle cannot be rented out due to necessary repairs.

Tyre damage or damage to the windscreen will need to be paid by the renter in full unless the 'Liability Reduction Option 2' or the All Inclusive option has been purchased (2WD vehicles only). With Option 2 (VIP Cover) 1 windscreen and 2 tyre repairs are covered, but any further costs beyond that are not covered and need to be paid by the renter him/herself. With the All Inclusive Option booked in advance with Motorhome Bookers (and the 4WD Additional Cover locally for any 4WD vehicles except for vehicle type X-Terrain), unlimited windscreen (with Vivid Camper only 1 windscreen) and tyre damages as well as underbody and overhead damages are covered.

Damages to awnings are only covered by insurance if the 4WD Additional Cover has been purchased.
With 2WD vehicles, regardles of any additional insurance option at all times the renter is responsible for any damage to the awning and slide out of the vehicle. Underbody and overhead damage is only covered if you book the All Inclusive Option with Motorhome Bookers.

There is no insurance cover whatsover if the vehicle is wilfully damaged, damaged due to negligence on the part of the rental party or due to illegal activities or forbidden activities as per the rental agreement. Please refer to the section 'Insurance Exclusions' below for further details.

With the standard insurance, the deposit (which covers the amount of the excess - depending on which insurance option you opt for) is deducted from a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners Club are accepted) at pick-up time. Pre-paid credit cards, travellers cheques or cash will not be accepted.

The credit card holder must be present to sign for this and he/she is responsible for any damage to the rental vehicle. The deposit can also only be provided by the renter and not split several ways between members of the travelling party.

If you take just the Liability Reduction Option 1 the deposit of AU$ 2,500 will be deducted from your credit card. If you choose the Liability Reduction Option 2 at pick-up time or you purchase the All Inclusive Option with Motorhome Bookers in advance, the deposit of AU$ 250 for campers and motorhomes and AU$ 500 for 4WD vehicles will be charged.

NOTE: Please ensure that you have sufficient funds on your credit card before departure.

If the vehicle is returned without damage or third party incident the full amount of the deposit will be reimbursed. The refund can take up to 21 working days. Any changes in foreign exchange rates or fees are borne by the renter. All credit card deductions are made in Australian Dollars. Neither the rental company nor the tour operator is responsible for any differences that occur between the cost of a deducted deposit and the reimbursement which result from foreign exchange fluctuations or bank charges.

The deposit will be reimbursed in full as long as the vehicle is returned in the same condition in which it was collected and with full petrol/diesel and gas tanks. The rental company reserves the right to charge a cleaning fee if the interior of the vehicle is excessively dirty at drop-off. The toilet and waste water tank must be completely empty, otherwise a further fee will be charged. Please refer to the section 'Miscellaneous' / 'Post-hire Cleaning' for further details.

In the event of damage to the rented vehicle or to property of a third party a new deposit will be taken in order to cover any further separate incidents of damage.

If an accident occurs the deposit banked to cover the excess in the first instance regardless of who is at fault and is owed to the rental company by the renter even if the damage was not caused by you and is refunded as soon as the rental company receives a payment from a third party. This can of course take some time.

In Australia third party liabitily insurance is not compulsory. If you have an accident with an uninsured driver or the other person flees the scene of the accident you will be liable for the sum of the excess. The excess applicable for the insurance options mentioned above apply to each individual incident and not on a per-rental basis. If a second accident occurs, a further deposit of the same total will be payable.

All insurance cover is null and void if the terms of the Apollo Australia rental agreement are breached. Any damage that is caused when the renter acts outside of the rental company conditions is not covered by the insurance. Any damage resulting from a violation of traffic regulations is also not covered by insurance.

Any damage caused by the vehicle rolling over (single vehicle accident) or water and/or saltwater related damage where the renter is at fault is not covered by the insurance. The insurance does not cover damage in case of vehicle submersion, the vehicle being stranded in water, or resulting from driving on causeways or beach driving.
A vehicle rollover is deemed to have occurred where damage to the vehicle results from the vehicle rolling or tipping to such a degree that any or all tyres lose normal contact with the road surface.

Any personal property that is damaged or stolen during an accident, vandalism or a theft is not insured. Private insurance should be purchased in your home country to cover any such issues. In order to avoid theft of personal items from the vehicle it is advised not to leave any valuables in the vehicle.

In the cases listed below the renter is fully liable for damage to the rental vehicle and third-party property, i.e. no insurance cover whatsoever is provided:
- vehicle submersion or the vehicle being stranded in a water area
- saltwater-related damage
- damage resulting from creek or river crossings, driving on causeways or beach driving
- Recovery cost of the vehicle if it is bogged
- Damage caused whilst the vehicle is being transported over water
- Activities that breach the rental agreement conditions or are against the law, e.g. driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or dangerous driving (especially with regard to trailers and camping appendages). Here, the renter is liable for the full amount of damage caused either to the rented vehicle or to the property of a third party involved.
- Damage caused by the use of the wrong fuel or if water or oil, etc. are not topped up to minimum required levels (causing overheating, frost damage, etc) or where warning signals in the vehicle are ignored
- Costs that arise for towing and recovery of vehicles that have been stranded or submerged as a result of the driver's negligence
- Any costs associated with with losing the fuel, oil or water caps and items in the convenience kits
- Any costs associated with damage or accidents caused by falling asleep whilst driving
- Repairs and towing costs that are incurred because of driving on restricted roads or in forbidden areas
- Costs for vehicle keys that have either been lost or locked in the vehicle
- Damage caused by snow chains
- If anyone who is not registered in the rental agreement drives the car
- Damage to awnings
- Damage to the roof tent
- Damage caused wilfully or through negligence

The following incidents are payable by the renter separate to the insurance, unless you purchase an 'Addtitional insurance option' or the All Inclusive option (see table above):
- Glass damage including unlimited windscreen (with Vivid Camper only 1 windscreen), headlights, other glass
- Damage to tyres or wheels
- Damage to the underbody and overhead of the vehicle
- Damage caused by single vehicle rolling over

Damage to the slide-out of the Euro Slider is never covered by insurance and the renter is responsible for all associated costs.

Whilst we appreciate accidents may occur, there are also clearly cases of driver negligence where any insurance coverage is voided. This would include incidents where the driver is found to be in breach of the law in terms of speed, alcohol, drugs, or is found by the police or investigating authority to have been driving in a dangerous or negligent manner. In all such instances, Apollo reserves the right to pursue full recovery from the renter.

All credit card payments that you make locally at the rental company depot are made in Australian Dollars.

All payments made by credit card locally at pick-up time i.e. for extras/additional items the following surcharges will incur and are non-refundable:
- Visa Credit or Mastercard Credit card: 2%
- American Express/Diners Club: 2.8%

For security reasons, Apollo will only accept credit cards for rental/extras charges paid on vehicle pick-up or drop-off. Cash payments will not be accepted at any branch. The bond is only payable at pick-up by credit card and cannot be paid with a pre-paid credit card.

Neither the rental company nor the tour operator is liable to pay any cost differences that occur between the cost of the deducted deposit and the reimbursement as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations or bank charges.

Where speeding tickets and parking fines and/or accidents (e.g. that have not been mentioned to the rental company) come to light the rental company reserves the right to invoice the customer for these costs in arrears.

The insurance options offered by the rental company do not include luggage insurance, nor do they included cover for any damage to the driver or passengers. It is therefore recommended that you obtain travel insurance that covers accidents, sickness and loss of luggage prior to departure.
