RENTAL LOCATIONS
Motorhome pick ups and drop offs are available from any of the Pacific Hrizon Client Service Centers, located in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.
CLIENT SERVICE CENTRE OPERATING HOURS
Daily (including weekends) 9.00am - 4.00pm
Client Service Centres are closed on Christmas Day (25 December)
Note: Clients must be at the Client Service Centre for vehicle pick ups & drop offs before 4.00pm.
Where applicable, agents need to allow appropriate time for clients to get from airports, ferry terminals and hotels to meet this requirement.
COURTESY/CLIENT TRANSFERS
Courtesy transfers are available to/from our depots on both the day of pick up and the day of drop off for an additional fee, from/to Airports and Airport accommodation.
Client transfers to and from City accommodation: Up to NZ$100 each way up to 6 pax.
These details should be confirmed as early as possible when booking.
ONE-WAY HIRE FEES
If you drop off your motorhome at a different location from where you picked it up from, a NZ$350 one-way fee applies. This fee can be automatically waived for hires 21 days +.
MOTORHOME PICK UP AND INTRODUCTION
Following completion of the Rental Vehicle Agreement at our depot, including sighting the drivers license(s) for all potential drivers, a member of the Pacific Horizon team will walk you around both the outside and the inside of the motorhome to show and demonstrate how everything works, as well as to answer any questions you may have. This process can take 45-60 minutes so please consider this when booking your itinerary.
A detailed onboard Motorhome Manual is also supplied for your later reference, along with helpful travel information and/or maps - all FREE of charge.
VEHICLE SECURITY GUARANTEE
A credit card imprint is required on all rental agreements. The credit card must be valid for 30 days after the end of the hire. In the absence of a credit card, Pacific Horizon requires a cash vehicle security bond of NZ$5,000 (NZ$2,000 if Excess Reduction Level 1 is taken, or NZ$250 if Excess Reduction Level 2 is taken). This credit card imprint or cash will be held for 28 days after the return of the motorhome.
NOTE: The hirer is fully liable for any damage to the Pacific Horizon vehicle or third party property if:
• The terms of the rental contract are breached.
• Damage to the motorhome is caused by careless, wilful or reckless driving or breach of any New Zealand driving rules and regulations.
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Driving on restricted roads (as listed below).
• Water submersion or salt water damage caused through the hirer’s fault.
• Incorrect fuel is used
MINIMUM RENTAL DURATION AND COSTING
Minimum rental period and cost is 7 day hire. This is extended to a 14 day hire for the travel period of 1 December to 28 February.
Shorter rentals may be accepted entirely at the discretion of Pacific Horizon, but the minimum rental cost applies.
Motorhome rentals are calculated on a per calendar day basis, i.e. day of pick up and drop off is always counted as a full day irrespective of what time the motorhome is collected or dropped off.
DRIVER’S LICENCE AND MINIMUM AGE
A valid full national driver’s licence held for at least 12 months is required. Non-English language national drivers’ licences must be presented in conjunction with an official translation, or valid international driver’s licence must be shown.
The minimum age to drive a Pacific Horizon motorhome is 21 years.
