Stay Protected on the Road with Avis New Zealand | Avis Car Rental

 

At Avis we know accidents can happen and things don’t always go to plan. That’s why we offer different coverage options to make your rental with us easier. With our optional coverages you won’t need to waste your money on unnecessary damage expenses.

Standard Cover

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is already included in the rental price of most Avis New Zealand rentals. If the hire vehicle is lost, stolen or damaged LDW reduces the liability payable from the full cost of the vehicle to the standard excess outlined in the table below.

Optional Coverages

Avis New Zealand customers have two levels of optional cover to reduce the financial liability if the vehicle is involved in an accident or the vehicle is lost, stolen or damaged.

Please note that there are exclusions where the Excesses referred to above do not apply. These exclusions are detailed in the Rental Terms and Conditions.

View our Fair Wear and Tear Guide for a clear distinction between reasonable fair wear and tear and unacceptable damage.
