Apollo Rental Cars AU Insurance

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that renters ensure they take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.

PROTECTION PACKAGE

Personal Injury
The  Vehicle  has  third  party  insurance  cover.    It  is  likely  that  any  other  vehicle  involved  in  an accident also has third party insurance cover.  Depending on the circumstances of the accident, the renter may  be  entitled  to  claim  for  their  personal  injury  against  the  third  party  insurance  of  the party  responsible  for  the  accident.    The  extent  of  such  third  party  insurance  varies  in  different States  and  Territories  and  Apollo  strongly  recommends  that  all  passengers  take  out  their  own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.

If  the  renter  is  responsible  for  the  accident  the  Vehicle’s  third  party  insurance  should  cover  the renter for the liability except where the renter has committed a breach of the Vehicle’s third party insurance, eg drink driving.

Property Damage
The Vehicle  is  insured  for damage  to  it or damage  to  the property of a  third party.   However  the renter  is  responsible up  to  the amount of  the applicable Liability  for  the cost of  such damage  to third  party  property,  or  to  the  rented  Vehicle.    The  renter  is  also  responsible  for  the  cost  of demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs.  The Liability applies in respect of each claim, not per rental.  

The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental Period.  Apollo reserves the right to charge the renter for any vehicle damage including Third Party property damage not reported on return of the vehicle.

The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location on time, is full of fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been complied with.  If there is damage to the vehicle on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the amount of the relevant Liability.  However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and the Bond is insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
