This summary is provided for your convenience only. It does not purport to constitute legal advice or to provide a comprehensive restatement of the terms of our Vehicle Rental Agreement, a copy of which is available upon request. Please note that the full terms of our Vehicle Rental Agreement will apply to the hire of any of our vehicles, and will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with this summary.

Vehicle Pick-up & Drop-off
Vehicles are available for pick-up at a designated time on the first day of the hire period and must be returned on the agreed date at the nominated depot before 3pm (12pm Saturday). All depots close 12 pm Saturdays and are not open Sundays.

Rental Duration & Extensions
We calculate the rental period by the number of calendar days the campervan has been on the road, regardless of the pick-up time. Extensions may be organised through the sales office, subject to availability, and at the current rental rate. The extension fee must be paid immediately via credit card or in person at a Wicked depot. No refunds will be given for rentals shortened on day of pick up. There is no refund for late pick up or early return.

PLEASE NOTE: A short Hire fee will apply to hires under 14 Days for travel between 14th December 2011 and 14th January 2012.

Taxes
All prices quoted include 10% GST

Fees
Wicked accepts payment via Visa and Mastercard, which attract a merchant surcharge of 1.5%. An additional 2.5% contract fee will be added to the total rental charge as a payment toward our administration costs and any applicable government fees and duties.

Early & Late Returns
Early pick-ups can be organised in advance, subject to availability. Late returns will be charged for additional days. Iif no extension has been authorised, we have the right to report the car stolen and press charges. Administration fees may also apply.

Licence
We need to view and record details of your driving licence on collection of your camper. For international licence holders, the licence needs to have been valid for 6 months and you must be at least 18 years of age. A valid overseas or international driving licence is permitted. We rent Standard vans to overseas drivers under the age of 21 and also rent standard vans to Australian provisional licence holders.

Unlimited Km's
We do offer unlimited km's, however this is still subject to minimum hire period and areas of use.

Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption varies according to vehicle type, driving conditions and the how the vehicle is driven. Wicked Campervans run approx 6-12km/ L (subject to wind conditions and speed). All vehicles are serviced and mechanically fit at the beginning of every hire and as such our vehicles are fuel efficient. Wicked Campers does not refund any hire costs related to excess fuel consumption.

Cancellations
Before collecting the vehicle: If cancelled anytime after booking, the booking deposit will be forfeited. All other cancellations after collection of the vehicle cannot receive a refund. There is no refund for late pick up or early return. This policy is subject to any rights you have under any law to the contrary to the extent stated in our Vehicle Rental Agreement.

Unforseen Events
Sometimes due to unforseen circumstances (crash, vehicle theft, etc.) we are unable to supply the vehicle requested. Wicked Campers will take no responsibility if the booked vehicle is not physically present in the depot and therefore not available due to external conditions beyond our control. We will always endeavour to supply a vehicle of similar quality and characteristics.

Wicked Campers is not responsible for any insect infestation such as but not limited to ants, flies, cockroaches, fleas, bedbugs and mosquitoes. No refunds will be provided for any infestations mentioned above or that could have happened during the rental time.

Rental Refusal
Wicked Campers reserves the right to refuse any rental, or the continuation of any rental at its discretion.

Age of Hirer and Designated Drivers
Wicked Campers are available for hirers aged 18 and over who possess a valid driver’s license. This excludes Australian & New Zealand license holders under the age of 21, unless authorised by the owner in writing.

Exchange Rate/Currency Fluctuation
All credit card transactions are conducted in Australian Dollars (AU$). Due to exchange rate fluctuations there could be some variation in the amount initially debited against the credit card and the amount refunded when the vehicle is returned. Wicked Campers accepts no liability for these variations, up or down.

Change of Drop off Location
Wicked Campers may at its discretion allow a change of drop off location once a booking has been made. A fee of $700 will be charged to any booking where the drop off location is changed.

Damage Cover
Damage cover is available subject to the terms of our Vehicle Rental Agreement. This means that we indemnify renters against loss and damage that renters sustain as a result of a single or multiple vehicle accident whilst a permitted driver is driving the rented Wicked vehicle. However, we will only do this if you have complied with the terms of our Vehicle Rental Agreement and you have paid the applicable amounts set out in the table below within the timeframes set out in our Vehicle Rental Agreement.

Should you choose to take ‘Standard Liability’ or ‘Liability Reduction A’ Cover, your credit card will be charged for the total amount of the Bond.

Average cost for windscreen replacement is $350-$650.

These Options are subject to Terms & Conditions of Rental Agreement and will become null and void as cover in the event the Agreement is breached. This includes any incidents involving Dangerous Driving (eg. Speeding, Driving Pissed, Driving highways at night, falling asleep at the wheel or in the event of single-vehicle rollover, etc).

Recovery fees for breakdowns on unsealed roads are not covered. NOTE: Only 4WD vehicles are permitted on unsealed roads.

• If the hirer is permitted to swap vehicles, there will be no compensation offered for unused fuel.

Theft, Fire and Break-In
Wicked Campers does not cover theft, fire or break-in – this is the responsibility of your travel insurer. In the event of fire or loss of property, Wicked Campers will only investigate vehicle fire claims that suggest it is at fault.

Security Bond
A bond as per the above table is required at time of collection. Cash or credit card is required. Additional appropriate ID will need to be supplied for Cash bonds. If you pay your bond by cash, $1000 minimum is required (depending on your choice of liability reduction). An administration fee equal to the merchant service fee will apply. If campervan and extra equipment are in an acceptable condition upon return to the contracted depot, bonds will be returned via our accounts department, unless the vehicle has been in or reported to have been in an accident.

Our depots do not keep cash overnight and are unable to refund bonds as cash. Any cash bond due for return will transferred to a bank account nominated by the hirer. Any bank fees associated with this are to be borne by the hirer.

Night time driving
Night time driving is not advisable on the highways - and is strictly forbidden in the outback, due to the high number of kangaroos and people falling asleep while driving.
