Question 2

What happens if you damage a rental car from Firefly in Nelson?

Accepted Answer

In case of damage to your Firefly rental car in Nelson, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) will provide coverage. Ensure your insurance has zero excess. If your CDW includes an excess limit, you'll be responsible for part of the repair costs. Typically, you won't need to pay this separately, as the amount will be deducted from your deposit made when hiring a Firefly car in Nelson, New Zealand.

Question 3

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The Firefly fuel policy you select in Nelson will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
