A deposit in the amount of one month’s rental fees in the relevant class of car (Budget, Mid-Range, SUVs, People Mover) will be required 2 weeks prior to time of booking confirmation alongside the first term’s rent.

Deposit is ONLY 100% refundable if booking is cancelled at least 7 days prior to pick-up date.

Before the hire starts, you may cancel up to 7 days prior to the start date. If you cancel within 7 days of the booked collection date, a cancellation fee of $250 will be applicable.
