Supplemental Liability Protection
In New Zealand there is no need for third party compulsory insurance (CTP) as there is a form of insurance scheme managed by the Accident Compensation Corporation (AA) which covers injuries caused by car accidents via a fund by levy that is paid as part of the motor vehicle registration fees. This scheme provides no fault cover, meaning that any person injured as a result of an accident is covered. This cover does not include property or damage to other vehicles. There is no fixed coverage limit per policy.
Standard Cover
Standard Cover (DLD) is included in all reservations and provides the renter and additional authorized drivers protection against accidents or theft, and it meets or exceeds the minimum required third-party liability insurance against death, personal injury, and damage to property. Standard Cover includes a deductible payable by the customer in the event of loss or damage to the rental vehicle if no responsible third party can be identified. The liability includes damage to the vehicle, damage to other vehicles, claims administration fees, loss of use, towing, and more.
The standard excess/deductible is 4500 NZD (GST inclusive) for the car categories Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard, and Full Size. For any SUVs, Pick-ups, Vans, and any Premium vehicles, the excess/deductible is 5500 NZD (GST inclusive). All electric vehicles have a excess/deductible of 6500 NZD (GST inclusive). The excess/deductible will be charged every time a vehicle is damaged, lost, not returned, or stolen.
