The security bond will be retained by Camperman as a security for the performance of
any of your obligations and liabilities under the rental contract, including accidents,
damage, cleaning fee, theft of the campervan or third-party loss occurring during the
rental period. If you have multiple accidents during the hire, then a new security
deposit/bond will be charged after each accident.
For security purposes, only a credit card or debit card with credit functions can be used
to provide a security deposit. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable for all
damage to the rental vehicle.
The bond is fully refundable to you provided that:
A. All amounts due to Camperman under the rental contract have been paid,
including any added charges and refuelling costs.
B. The campervan has been returned to the correct rental station at the date and
time set on the rental agreement.
C. There is no damage or third-party loss
D. The equipment supplied is clean and in the same condition it was in at the start
of rental, subject to reasonable wear and tear:
a. The fire extinguisher listed in clause 15.1 and 15.2 is unused.
b. The exterior, interior and underbody of the campervan is clean and
undamaged.
c. The campervan has the correct amount of fuel.
d. There has not been a major breach of the rental contract.
13.3 BOND RETURN
The security deposit is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct
location in a clean and undamaged condition. The security deposit will be returned to
your credit card within two weeks after the completion of your rental.
However, if the terms of the rental contract are breached and the security deposit is
insufficient to cover the damage then the hirer will be liable for any extra cost. If the
vehicle is returned with any damage, or has been involved in an accident, whether the
fault of the hirer or not, the security bond will be retained by Camperman until the full
cost of the damage is determined, or the claim has been settled by the third party’s
insurance company.
The security bond will then be returned to the hirer in full if it is determined that there is
no liability to the third party under Australian motor vehicle laws and/or with Australian
litigation. Please note that third party claims can take months or even years to resolve.
Camperman cannot force the destiny of these claims, it is up to our insurance company
and the third party, be they insured or not.
