Huurvoorwaarden, belangrijk om door te nemen
Bij het huren van een auto of camper sluit je een huurcontract af met de verhuurmaatschappij. Dit contract is onderdeel van onze reisovereenkomst. Dat betekent dat u ook aan de voorwaarden van de verhuurder gebonden bent. Het is belangrijk deze door te nemen. Bij het ophalen van de auto of camper dien je deze immers te ondertekenen in het huurcontract. Zo zijn er altijd uitzonderingen op de dekking van de verzekering, gebeurtenissen die niet vallen onder het afgesproken eigen risico, restricties aan de route of wegen die mogen worden bereden, kosten in geval van boetes, etc.
Op de eerste pagina’s benadrukken we een paar belangrijke voorwaarden en instructies. Op de volgende pagina’s vind je de Engelstalige samenvatting van de voorwaarden van de verhuurmaatschappij zelf.
Wij raden aan om de voorwaarden goed door te nemen. Mochten er vragen over zijn, dan zijn wij graag bereid hier uitleg over te geven.
Verzekering van de camper
Huurauto’s en campers zijn verplicht WA verzekerd, dat is altijd inbegrepen.
Heb je gekozen voor de Inclusive toeslag (Value Pack) dan is de “Liability Reduction Option” verzekering inbegrepen. Dat betekent een verlaging van het eigen risico tot NUL.
Maar let op: er zijn altijd uitzonderingen die niet gedekt zijn. Zie daarvoor de uitgebreide huurvoorwaarden van THL hieronder.
Leeftijd bestuurder / passagiers
Let op: minimum leeftijd 21 jaar, Let op: kinderzitje / boosterseat is tot 8 jaar verplicht
Rijbewijs
- Je dient in het bezit te zijn van je geldige rijbewijs.
Internationaal Rijbewijs verplicht: Naast je het huidige model Nederlandse rijbewijs is in Nieuw-Zeeland een Internationaal Rijbewijs verplicht. Deze is bij de ANWB aan te schaffen en kost ongeveer
€ 19,- en is 1 jaar geldig (neem pasfoto en het geldige rijbewijs mee).
Self Check-in website: dit is verplicht voorafgaande aan het ophalen van de camper
Op de volgende veilige website is het mogelijk om alvast in the checken bij THL voorafgaande aan het ophalen van de camper: xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx
Het ‘booking number’ dat moet worden ingevuld staat op de voucher die samen met de overige reisbescheiden voor vertrek uit Nederland wordt toegestuurd.
THL Roadtrip App
Deze gratis app geeft je alle informatie die je nodig hebt voorafgaande en tijdens je reis met de camper. De app kan je downloaden in Google Play en de App Store. In de app vind je o.a.:
- Instructie video’s over de camper die je hebt gehuurd.
- Instructies over het gebruik en veilig besturen van de camper.
- Direct contact met de verhuurder voor hulp en vragen onderweg.
- Informatie over campings in de buurt
- Informatie over de locatie van de verhuurdepots, maar ook de dichtstbijzijnde benzinestations, vuilwater dump locaties, supermarkten, pinautomaten, etc..
Navigatie
Vanaf 2023 is de THL Roadtrip App niet meer voorzien van GPS navigatie, omdat dit tegenwoordig eenvoudig via je eigen mobiele telefoon kan. Navigeren kan door op je telefoon Google Maps of ‘Kaarten’ te gebruiken, de app waarmee je thuis ook op je telefoon de route en navigatie doet. De kaart verschijnt dan op het
scherm van de auto en de stem via het luidsprekersysteem van de auto.
Vrijwel alle voertuigen zijn voorzien van Apple Carplay en/of Android Auto. Je kunt je telefoon middels USB kabel aansluiten op de auto en vervolgens op het scherm van de auto de navigatie van je telefoon gebruiken.
Hieronder staan een paar tips om goed te kunnen navigeren in Nieuw-Zeeland:
1. Off-Line navigeren zonder datagebruik (kosteloos)
Een offline kaart downloaden (bijv. in Google Maps), van het gedeelte van de regio en route die je de volgende dag / dagen gaat rijden. Doe dit van tevoren, thuis of in het hotel (met Wifi). Je kunt dan navigeren zonder dat je mobiele data gebruikt. (let op dat je ‘data roaming’ uitstaat als je in Nieuw-Zeeland bent).
2. On-Line navigeren met een Nieuw-Zeelandse simkaart
Je kunt in Nieuw-Zeeland een simkaart kopen voor mobiele data. (handig als je een 2e reserve telefoon bij je hebt, of een telefoon waar 2 simkaarten in kunnen). Deze prepaid data simkaarten zijn vaak te koop op luchthavens, of in een telecomwinkel in de stad.
We raden een simkaart aan als je een wat langere huurperiode hebt of gewoon de beste navigatie wilt, omdat het zoeken naar adressen soms nauwkeuriger werkt dan bij een offline kaart. Vooraf downloaden van offline kaarten is nog wel aan te raden voor een lager data verbruik.
Transfers van en naar het depot
Deze zijn niet inbegrepen. Je kunt het beste een taxi nemen vanaf de luchthaven of je hotel. Bij het inleveren van de camper zal de verhuurder een taxi voor je bellen indien gewenst.
Tolwegen Nieuw-Zeeland
Nieuw-Zeeland kent 3 tolwegen, namelijk een stuk van 7,5 km. xxx xxx xx. 0 xxx xxxxxxx van Auckland, en 2 snelwegen (15 en 5 km.) bij de plaats Tauranga. De tol op deze wegen kan alleen maar elektronisch worden betaald. Je kunt dit vooraf regelen op onderstaande website, maar pas nadat de auto is opgehaald. Gelukkig bestaat ook de mogelijkheid deze wegen te vermijden.
Zie voor meer informatie de website: xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xx/xxxxx-xxx-xxxx/xxxx-xxxxx/
Route beperkingen:
De campers mogen alleen op de asfaltwegen en goed onderhouden onverharde toegangswegen (max. 12 km.) naar erkende campings of belangrijke toeristische attracties rijden.
Uitgesloten zijn:
Skippers Road (Queenstown), the Crown Range Road/Cardrona Valley Road, Ninety Mile Beach (Northland), Wanaka – Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx xxxxxx xxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxx Xxxx (Xx. Cook) and North of Colville and Waikawau Township (Coromandel Peninsula).
Boetes, administratiekosten, tolwegen:
Nagekomen boetes voor verkeersovertredingen dienen te worden betaald per creditcard. De boetes worden door THL verhoogd met NZ$ 75 administratiekosten. Dit geldt ook voor boetes wegens onbetaald gebruik van de tolwegen rondom de grote steden.
De campers zijn uitgerust met een telematic system dat je locatie in de gaten houdt. Dit is voor je eigen veiligheid, maar bij geregistreerd continu niet naleven van de snelheidslimieten en ondanks waarschuwingen, of het niet naleven van de routebeperkingen en het rijden op niet toegestane routes, kan THL een boete van NZ$ 300 per geregistreerde gebeurtenis opleggen.
Problemen, pech of vragen onderweg
THL heeft een 24-uurs ‘Roadside Assistance’ telefoonnummer.
Neem altijd direct contact op met THL als je pech hebt, schade, noodzakelijke reparaties of klachten onderweg, dan kunnen ze je zo goed mogelijk helpen.

Travel Restrictions
Not all RVs are suitable for all driving situations, so it’s important the right RV is chosen for the travel planned. thl, at its discretion, may restrict RV travel in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions, and the distance to nominated destinations in relation to the length of the rental period. If applicable, any further restrictions will be mentioned at pick-up. Guests are encouraged to contact On- Road Assist on 0800 788 558 or x00 0 000 0000 if they have any concerns regarding road accessibility.
For the safety of guests, the following travel restrictions are in place:
• All RVs can only be driven on sealed/bitumen roads. The only exception to this is the loose road surface on any major ski field access roads or any recognised campground access road less than 12 kilometres in length.
• No RV shall be driven on all ski field access roads from 01 June to 00 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx (Xxxxxxxxxx), the Crown Range Road/Cardrona Valley Road, Ninety Mile Beach (Northland), Wanaka
– Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx xxxxxx xxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxx Xxxx (Xx. Cook) and North of Colville and Waikawau Township (Coromandel Peninsula).
Guests who travel to restricted areas without permission will void all Liability Cover in the event of damage or accident and may be subject to a penalty fee of $300.00 charged on each occasion identified.
Kilometres
For the safety of guests please don’t underestimate the time it will take to drive from one point to another. While our RVs include unlimited kilometres, we recommend travelling a maximum of 250 kilometres per day or the equivalent of 4-5 hours driving. We encourage our guests to take a break from driving at least every 2 hours.
Returning the RV
The RV is a home away from home and for comfort, we recommend it’s kept tidy throughout the road trip. The RV needs to be returned to the branch as it was taken, with the interior cleaned and toilet cassette (where applicable) and holding tanks emptied. The RV exterior does not require cleaning unless it’s covered with excessive dirt or mud, making it difficult for our team to see its return condition. The Cleaning Pack is available to be pre-purchased or added on pick-up to offer quick and easy return.
Repairs
We understand that while on holiday the RV may require small repairs. To avoid further disruptions to the road trip, if the damage was not caused by the guest, repairs up to $100.00 can be completed without authorisation and will be reimbursed upon presentation of receipts. If repairs over $100.00 are needed, the On-Road Assist team should be informed prior to any repair being completed. Unauthorised repairs are not permitted.
All RVs are covered by the New Zealand Automobile Association and 24hr mechanical emergency roadside assistance is available if needed please contact On-Road Assist on 0800 788 558 or +64 9 801
3857.
Infringements, Tolls and Fines
thl will pass on any charges the guest receives for traffic infringements, toll, or parking fines during their road trip. For toll way fee received, thl reserves the right to charge the guest’s credit or debit card upon receiving the toll way fee. An administration fee of $75.00 to cover associated administrative costs per toll way fee, traffic infringement or parking fine received may be charged.
Animals
We believe fur friends can only make a road trip better. Pet dogs and cats are allowed to travel in Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Cheapa Campa, Mighty Campers and Hippie vehicles. There is a $299.00 pet fee (excluding service animals). Our full policy can be viewed on the thl website. Service dogs are permitted in all vehicles. If a vehicle is returned soiled by a pet thl reserves the right to charge an extra cleaning fee. Our full policy can be viewed on the thl website.
Smoking and Drugs
Our RVs are a smoke free and drug free zone; hence smoking or drugs are not permitted in any of our RVs.

Travel Insurance
For peace of mind, we strongly recommend that all guests take out the highest level of private travel insurance.
Personal Injury
The RV has Third Party insurance cover, and it is likely that any other vehicle involved in an accident also has Third Party insurance. Depending on the circumstances of an accident, the guest may be entitled to claim for their personal injury against the Third-Party insurance of the party responsible for the accident. thl strongly recommends that all passengers take out their own Personal Injury travel insurance.
thl does not accept any liability for personal injuries sustained during the rental. Except where such loss or damage is caused by thl’s (or that of its employees) own negligence or breach of the Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions. thl does not accept liability for any loss or damage to any personal belongings or property of the Customer (or any person or entity related to the customer).
Property Damage
The RV is insured for damage to it and damage to the property of a third party. However, the guest is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for damage to third party property, or to the RV. The guest is also responsible for the cost of the daily rate for the period the vehicle is being repaired.
There is no refund for any unused portion of the rental period. The Liability applies to each claim, not RV.
thl reserves the right to charge the guest for any RV damage including Third Party property damage not reported but identified on return of the RV.
Liability Options
Guests can choose between the following liability options:
• ‘The Low Road’ - our most basic level of liability cover.
• ‘The High Road’ - our highest liability cover giving the most peace of mind. Included in the Value Pack
