Question 2

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is charged if you return your car hire to a different location from where you picked it up. This fee covers the cost of transporting the car back to its original location. The fee amount varies based on the specific locations involved.

Question 3

Can I use a debit card to hire a car?

Accepted Answer

Debit and credit cards are generally accepted by most international hire companies, though acceptance may vary depending on the specific supplier and location. For information specific to Timaru Airport, TIU, be sure to check the terms on the booking website once redirected.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select 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.

Question 6

What information is included in the car hire contract?

Accepted Answer

The hire contract normally includes comprehensive details such as the terms and conditions of the hire, insurance coverage options, hire duration, and payment details.

Additionally, the contract normally includes information about responsibilities for property damage, procedures for returning the vehicle, age requirements, and accepted forms of identification, like a valid driver's license and credit card.

Question 7

Can someone else drive my hire car?

Accepted Answer

For insurance coverage to remain valid, any additional drivers must be included in your hire agreement. If someone who is not listed drives the car, it could void the hire contract, and the insurance provider may refuse to cover any damage to the vehicle.

Question 8

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a car at Timaru Airport, TIU?

Accepted Answer

All hire companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your hire request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international hires for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for hires abroad. If these conditions do not apply, purchasing extra protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by buying Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website or opting for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the hire counter.
