Do you provide loan or courtesy vehicles?
Yes we provide a range of options for alternative transport. Loan cars various models & sizes. Vans various models & sizes.
Do you charge for loan / courtesy / rental cars?
This depends on the type of vehicle you require. Most older vehicles around 2012 -2015 are charged at a “one off” administration and maintenance fee ($60.00 + GST). You only replace the fuel used. This is typical for loan periods of 1 day - 2 weeks. Depending on the length of the loan out or the age of the vehicle, some cars are rented or leased out. These are generally, subject to availability, newer 2018 and newer vehicles and or specialist vehicles. You will find our rental rates cheaper than commercial rental companies.
Is there risk or liability with loan / courtesy cars?
Like anything borrowed or rented there is some risk and liability. Our loan and rental vehicles just like normal rental companies, all have insurance excesses that the borrower or person renting the vehicle will need to pay if they cause damage to the vehicle or the vehicle is damaged in their care and the at fault person (if any) whom damaged the vehicle is unable to pay for damages.
