RENTAL DURATION & EXTENSIONS
Rental days are calculated on a calendar day basis. When calculating the number of days the Vehicle is rented, the day of pick-up is counted as day one of the rental, regardless of pick-up time. The day of the Vehicle’s return is counted as the final day of the rental regardless of drop-off time.
Late pick up or early return of the Vehicle does not entitle the Hirer to any refund of the unused portion of the rental.
Extensions may be organised through the sales office, subject to availability, and at the current rental rate. The extra cost of an extended rental must be paid by credit card on confirmation of the rental extension.
Failure to obtain an authorisation for a rental extension will result in a late fee of AU$100 per day in addition to the daily rental rate for each day until the Vehicle is returned. The daily rental rate charged will be the rate applicable on the day of extension per Vehicle for the extended rental period.
