- 2021 Flex Rates
Valid from 01 April 2020 - 31 March 2021
Flex Rates give you the very best available price for the motorhome
you want to rent. If you book early and there are plenty of motorhomes
available, you will pay a much lower price. If you book closer to departure
date or book for a high demand period then the rate will be higher.
However, once booked, should you need to amend the dates, the prevailing
rates will apply. We get advised of new flex rates each week. Therefore
each quote only valid until the end of each week.

| Re 4WD Vehicles: 4WD Vehicles are only available to and from Broome, Darwin, Alice Springs, Cairns, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth (except for the Scout 4WD which is available for Darwin to Darwin hires only). |
Rates are
calculated per calendar day.
The flex rate for the entire duration of the rental is
determined by the
date of pick-up, location and date of booking. The daily
rate will not
change within one booking.
Amendments prior to the vehicle collection date will be
re-calculated
at the flex rate applicable on the date of amendment. This
applies to
changing the vehicle type, reducing the number of rental
days,
changing pick-up dates and/or changing the pick-up or drop-off
location. Where the number of rental days is being extended
prior to
pick-up (days are being added on at the end of the rental
with no
change to the original pick up date), or the bonus pack
is being added
to or removed from the booking, the original flex rate,
which applied
at the time of the original booking, will apply.

For
Your Protection - Vehicle Excess ( 1.75mb PDF)
Personal Injury is covered in most cases
through Registration Third Party Insurance.
Britz does not accept any liability for personal
injuries sustained during the rental. Except
where such loss or damage is caused by Britz’s (or that of its employees or agents) own negligence or breach of this Agreement, Britz does not accept liability for any loss or damage to any personal belongings or property of the Customer (or any person or entity related to the Customer). Britz strongly recommends that the Customer takes out personal travel insurance to cover any injury or loss.
If the Liability Reduction Option is not taken, the renter is liable for an excess of AUD $5,000 (for Hitop and Voyager), AUD $8,000 (for 4WD Vehicles) or AUD $7,500 (for all other 2WD campervans) per incident for vehicle damage in the event of an accident. This applies to any material damage to third-party property of the rental vehicle, regardless of who causes the accident. This liability remains in place no matter what until a third party admits liability and makes a payment to cover costs incurred.
In Australia, it is not compulsory for the locals to have third-party insurance. In the event of an accident or if someone flees the scene the renter is liable for any damage caused within the limit of the excess.
You can reduce the level of the excess or waive it as follows:
- The All Inclusive option can be booked in advance with us (see 'Inclusions' above - only available in advance - not at the depot). This option includes the 'Liability Reduction Option' insurance supplement.
- Alternatively, you have the option of purchasing the following insurance option locally as outlined below.

BRITZ STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TAKE THE BUNDLE (IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LIABILITY REDUCTION OPTION) OR THE BRITZ INCLUSIVE PACK, AND IN THE CASE OF 4WD VEHICLE HIRE, 4WD MAX COVER FOR TRAVEL WITH COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND.
Insurance
Exclusions:
All insurance cover is null and void if the terms of the Britz Australia rental agreement are breached. Any damage that is caused when the renter acts outside of the rental company conditions is not covered by any insurance.
The insurance does not cover water / saltwater damage, including damage resulting from vehicle submersion, the vehicle being stranded in a water area, driving through causeways or beach driving.
Any damage caused by the vehicle rolling over where the renter is at fault is not covered by the insurance, unless you purchase the All Inclusive option. 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.
Unless you have booked the All Inclusive Option or purchase the Liability Reduction Option locally, any damage to the underbody, roof or roof appendages is not covered. For hires with the 4WD vehicles, any damage to the underbody, roof or roof appandages is not covered unless you purchase the '4WD Max Cover' insurance supplement locally.
Any personal property that is damaged or stolen during an accident, vandalism or 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:
- 1) Any Damage due to vehicle use in contravention of our terms ‘Use of Vehicle’;
- 2) Any Damage caused by wilful misconduct (e.g. sitting or standing on the bonnet or roof of the Vehicle) and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and negligence resulting in Damage to the hired Vehicle or third party vehicle/property;
- 3) Any Damage where the Customer is charged by local authorities for being careless, showing gross negligence or wilfulness in failing to abide by the local road rules, resulting in Damage to the hired Vehicle or third party vehicle/property;
- 4) Retrieving or recovering a Vehicle which may include, but is not limited to a Vehicle that has become bogged, submerged, caught, trapped, stuck or restricted in any way and/or has been abandoned;
- 5) Replacing keys which have become lost, stolen, or retrieval of keys which have been locked in the Vehicle;
- 6) Any overhead and underbody Damage to the 4WD Vehicle however caused – except where 4WD Max Cover has been purchased;
- 7) Any overhead and underbody Damage to the 2WD Vehicle however caused - except where the Liability Reduction Option has been purchased; 8) Any single Vehicle rollover (as described in clause 18.1 (a)), except where The Bundle (in conjunction with the Liability Reduction Option) or the Britz Inclusive Pack has been purchased;
- 9) Any towing and Vehicle recovery costs (up to AUD $8,000) from a 4WD road where permission is required in advance from Britz in order to travel (refer to road restrictions in clause 18.3 (c) for a full list of these roads) where the Customer has not purchased 4WD Max Cover;
- 10) Damage caused to the Vehicle because total load (kg) has exceeded recommended load as stated in vehicle manual;
- 11) Damage caused by drivers not identified on the rental agreement and/or drivers that have a licence that has been cancelled or suspended and/or drivers who have a licence that is classified as a learner or probationary licence;
- 12) Any Damage caused to the Vehicle due to the incorrect use of snow chains;
- 13) Any Damage associated with the incorrect use of fuel (fuel being diesel or petrol), this includes Biofuel which should not be used, or water or other contamination of fuel;
- 14) Any Damage caused to the Vehicle due to part or total submersion in water;
- 15) The Customer fitting accessories (as provided by Britz or otherwise) to the Vehicle incorrectly or otherwise in a manner which causes Damage to the Vehicle, the accessories or any other vehicle or property; and
- 16) using the Vehicle in contravention of any legislation or regulation controlling vehicular traffic.
Whilst we appreciate accidents may occur, there are also clearly cases of driver negligence where any insurance coverage is voided. This includes 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, Britz reserves the right to pursue full recovery from the renter.
Vehicle

If the Liability Reduction Option is not taken, the Customer must pay the Liability Deposit to cover the first AUD $5,000 for the HiTop and Voyager or AUD $7,500 for all other 2WD campervans and the first AUD $8,000 when the Vehicle is a 4WD Vehicle of the cost of any Damage (subject to terms).
The Customer must provide a valid credit or debit card to pay the Liability Deposit and the amount will be debited to the Customer’s credit or debit card on the day of Vehicle collection. The Liability Deposit is fully refundable, including the 1.7% credit card administration fee, if the card used to provide the Liability Deposit is a Visa credit or debit card or MasterCard credit or debit card, provided the Vehicle is returned without Damage.
Britz recommends that customers use a Visa credit or debit card or MasterCard credit or debit card for the Liability Deposit, as the credit card administration fee that applies when using American Express credit card is not refundable.

All amendments to bookings are subject to availability of vehicle and/or package. Different rates may apply based on the amendment made.
Amendments prior to the vehicle collection date will be re-calculated at the flex rate applicable on the date of amendment. This applies to changing the vehicle type, reducing the number of rental days, changing pick-up dates and/or changing the pick-up or drop-off location. Where the number of rental days is being extended prior to the vehicle collection date (days are being added on at the end of the rental with no change to the original pick up date), or the Inclusive Pack is being added to or removed from the booking, the original flex rate, which applied at the time of the original booking, will apply.
