User Agreement and Terms and Conditions
TERMS
AND CONDITIONS AUSTRALIA FINE PRINT This is all the stuff you need to know before travelling into outer space; FREE STUFF Your daily hirage fees include tax (Australia's Goods and Services Tax at 10%), standard insurance (excluding windscreen damage), unlimited kilometres, and everything that comes with your Spaceship such as cooker, bedding, cutlery, a DVD/CD/MP3 player (and DVDs!) There are additional extras you can hire such as tables, chairs, tents, roof racks, power cords and much more. INSURANCE Standard insurance is included with the vehicle hire – this covers the hirer for any accident with a third party. Third party insurance is compulsory in Australia so any other vehicle involved in an accident will also have this cover. Depending on the circumstances of any accident you may be entitled to claim for personal injury against the third party insurance of the party responsible for the accident. The cover and ability to claim on third party insurance varies depending on where you are in Australia, so we strongly recommend that you take out your own Personal Injury Travel Insurance. If you are responsible for an accident the Vehicle's third party insurance should cover you for the liability except where you have committed a breach of the Vehicle's third party insurance policy, e.g. drink or otherwise dangerous driving. The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the hirer is responsible for the amount up to the bond (AUD$2000, or AUD$2500 for drivers under twenty five years old) for the damage to a third party property, or to the rented Vehicle. The hirer is also responsible for the cost of stand down time for the period the vehicle is unavailable while being repaired. The liability applies in respect of each claim, not per rental. The insurance excludes damage to the roof and under-body of the vehicle, and damage to the tyres and glass. Please remember - you must advise Spaceships as soon as an accident or incident with your vehicle occurs. If an accident or breakdown occurs, the liability of Spaceships Pty Ltd or its agents, extends to either replacing your vehicle with a similar one, or refunding your hire charge for any days you lose the total use of the vehicle. It is at the discretion of Spaceships Pty Ltd and the circumstances as to whether we choose to release another vehicle to you following an accident. BOND We hold a bond on your credit card when you pick up your Spaceship. This is the insurance excess if an accident occurs during your Spaceship hire and for which you are deemed to be at fault. This is AUD$2000 if the driver is 25 and over, and $2500 if the driver is aged 21 to 24. We do not deduct the bond from the credit card, but merely freeze the funds to deduct in an event of an accident. The funds are then released when the vehicle is returned provided no damage has occurred. It covers your accident-damage bond liability plus any extra cost or any traffic infringements, losses or breakages. The excess is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident report is completed, not at the completion of the rental. The excess will be refunded if Spaceships Pty Ltd is successful in recovering the costs of the damages from the Third Party. Credit card details must be on all rental agreements and must be the credit card of the main hirer unless prior arrangements have been made. Where a credit card is not available, a cash bond will be held by Spaceships Pty Ltd for twenty-one days following hire. FULL COVER An option to reduce your excess is to get either the ‘Full' or ‘Half Cover' option. This will reduce the bond and is on a per incident basis. If an accident occurs a new insurance option/bond waiver will be required for the remaining days of your hire. This means that you must report any incident to Spaceships Pty Ltd as soon as it happens to make sure you are always covered. E.g. 7 days hire x $20 per day = $140 for Full Cover (no bond) Accident occurs day 3, to be eligible for insurance of the remainder of the period another 4 days bond waiver is payable. E.g. Customer would need to pay an extra $80 (4 days x $20 per day) to have Full Cover/bond on the remaining period. Full or half cover does not cover a single vehicle accident, articles, appliances and fixtures inside the Spaceship unless in the case of a motor accident. If drivers are under the age of twenty-five they are still eligible for Full or Half Cover but it is slightly more expensive. A credit card imprint is required on all rental agreements (even with Full Cover – this covers deliberate damage, late returns and traffic infringements) and must be the credit card of the main hirer unless prior arrangements have been made. DRIVERS
25+ DRIVERS
AGED 21 -24 WINDSCREEN/GLASS EXTENSION Windscreen or glass breakages are not covered by the standard hire insurance but are included in Full or Half Cover. An additional non-refundable premium of $5.00 per hire day will cover you for the loss or breakage of windscreens or windows to the vehicle. This cover EXCLUDES the sunroof. Standard excess or Full/Half cover will not cover any water related damage such as vehicle submersion, creek or river crossing, beach driving and driving through low plain flooded areas. You will also be fully liable to the vehicle or a third party if you breach the terms of the rental contract; if you drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs; if damage is caused by careless or wilful conduct; or if you drive on restricted roads. ROAD RESTRICTIONS Please note that Spaceships can only be driven on tar sealed/bitumen roads. The vehicle is not covered by insurance when travelling on dirt roads except if they are well maintained access roads to recognised campgrounds. Spaceships are able to be taken to Tasmania, Kangaroo Island & Magnetic Island, but can only be driven on sealed/bitumen roads. Spaceships reserves the right to restrict vehicle movements in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions at its discretion. LICENSES To drive a Spaceship you must have a valid driver's license (held for over one year) and be over the age of twenty-one. Australia recognises driver's licences issued by your own country (as long as in an English format), as well as ‘international driver's licenses'. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE If
you have any mechanical troubles in space we provide free Australian Automobile
Association (AAA) 24 hour roadside assistance. The AAA will assist you free of
charge for any MECHANICAL issues you may have during your travels. A call out
fee of $85 applies, payable by the hirer should you require assistance for any
non-mechanical issues including: You must contact us immediately if any major repairs are needed for your Spaceship. Failure to do so may compromise any claim that may eventuate after the hire is finished. Spaceships Pty Ltd is only liable for refunding the time that the vehicle was actually in repair and will not pay for alternative accommodation or food requirements during that time. If your DVD/CD player, fridge, water pump or cooker malfunctions while you are travelling they are not considered mechanical breakdowns and downtime will not be paid for these items. Retrospective claims will not be accepted by Spaceships Pty Ltd. HIRE PERIOD Spaceships rates are charged on a calendar day basis. If you pick up your Spaceship on a Monday and return it the following Sunday this hire will be calculated as a 7 day rental. The minimum rental period for return hires (Sydney to Sydney) is 5 days, a 10 day minimum hire applies for one way hires. You can collect from 9 am onwards on your first day of hire but must return your Spaceship before 4.30pm on your final hire day. If a Spaceship is returned later than 5pm on the final hire day you will be charged an additional day's hire. Each day after the final hire day, that the Spaceship is not returned, you will be charged an additional day's hire as well as a fifty dollar penalty per day. Early return of a Spaceship does not entitle the hirer to a refund of the unused portion of the rental. NO SHOWS AND LATE PICKUPS Failure to collect a vehicle on the confirmed booking date will result in the loss of that hire day unless Spaceships have been advised 48 hours prior of the change in booking dates subject to availability. EXTENDED HIRES If you wish to extend the hire period once you have commenced your travel you must first contact Spaceships for approval. On approval the renter must pay for the additional days hire at the agreed rate in advance. ONE WAY HIRES There is a "one way" fee of $200.00 for hires of less than 14 days. EXTRAS If paying the balance of your hire by credit card there are additional charges of 1.5% for Visa and Mastercard, and 3% for Diners and Amex of the overall rental charge. Please note the credit card fee does not apply for deposits made through our website. CONDITIONS OF HIRE Prices may be subject to change due to factors beyond the control of Spaceships Ltd. Any changes in price affecting a client between the time of booking and payment received will be advised immediately. The company's rental agreement is the sole contract for hiring the vehicle, between Spaceships Ltd and the hirer, any other drivers and/or passengers. The company takes no responsibility for any delay, loss, damage or injury that a hirer might experience no matter how it is caused or by whom. No refunds are payable on accommodation or Spaceships if they are not available where a hirer or passenger changes or cancels, or seeks to vary agreements after departure. These conditions cannot be varied or altered or waived by any employee, agent or representative of the company or by anyone providing services or facilities. The company cannot be bound by any representative or statement unless it is confirmed in writing by Spaceships' management. INFRINGEMENTS We
will hold your credit card imprint for 30 days after the vehicle has been returned
in case any traffic infringement notices are presented to Spaceships Ltd for your
hire period. We reserve the right to charge the hirer for any speeding or parking
fines, associated administration costs and/or accidents including third party
property damage not reported on the return of the vehicle. The hirer will incur
a $50 administration charge for each speeding or parking infringement that is
received during the hire period. This charge does not in any way cover the actual
infringement costs, for which the hirer will remain liable. The $50 charge will
be deducted from the hirer's credit card on receipt of the infringement. The speed limit in Australia on the open road is 110 km per hour maximum and in residential or built up areas the limit is 60 km per hour unless otherwise indicated. CANCELLATIONS Once
Spaceships Pty Ltd has confirmed a booking and the hirer has paid a deposit, then
the booking is subject to the cancellation policy. The deposit is forfeited if
bookings are cancelled thirty If
cancelled 20 - 29 days prior then forfeit 25% of gross rental If the Spaceship is returned early for any reason whatsoever after travel has commenced then no refund is available. DEPOSIT AND PAYMENTS When you receive your confirmation of booking from Spaceships Ltd, a non-refundable deposit of 20% of the hire is required to secure your booking. The balance owed for your hire to Spaceships Ltd must be paid on the first day of hire. Read above for cancellation fees. RETURNING YOUR SPACESHIP When you return your Spaceship, it will be checked for damage against the check sheet signed on collection. We will also check to ensure that all the contents are still present, clean and free of damage. You should return your Spaceship with the same amount of fuel that was in the vehicle when your hire began. The BBQ gas bottle must be refilled prior to the return of the vehicle. Please ensure that you return your vehicle free of rubbish. Vehicles that are returned excessively dirty will incur a cleaning charge of $75.00. 'Excessively dirty' will be determined by the Manager of the Spaceship depot you return your vehicle to and is defined by ‘mess, stains and/or odours that are difficult to remove from the vehicle.'
