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 je 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 auto
Huurauto’s zijn verplicht WA verzekerd, dat is altijd inbegrepen.
In onze huurtarieven van AVIS is de “Super Zero” 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 AVIS hieronder.
PLS toeslag - Location Surcharge
Bij het ophalen van de auto op een luchthaven depot en bij enkele stads-depots wordt een zgn. ‘PLS: Premium Location Surcharge’ geheven over de huurprijs.
Bij onze AVIS tarieven is deze PLS toeslag inbegrepen in de huurprijs. Als er extra’s zijn die ter plaatse
moeten worden afgerekend, zoals een ‘one way fee’ of huur kinderstoeltjes en er is op dat depot sprake van een PLS toeslag, dan wordt die toeslag ook over deze extra items gerekend. De PLS toeslag is een % dat afhankelijk van het verhuurdepot varieert van 5 tot 33%.
Leeftijd bestuurder / passagiers
Let op: minimum leeftijd 21 jaar. Voor de SUV’s en 4WD’s is de minimum leeftijd 25 jaar.
Let op: kinderzitje / ‘boosterseat’ is tot 8 jaar verplicht
Rijbewijs: Je dient tenminste 1 jaar in het bezit te zijn van je rijbewijs.
- Internationaal rijbewijs aan te raden: De Australische verhuurbedrijven accepteren het huidige model Nederlandse rijbewijs (formaat bankpas). Uitzondering: bij ophalen in The Northern Territory (Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Springs, Xxxxx Rock) is een Internationaal rijbewijs verplicht. De Australische overheid is hier echter minder duidelijk over. Deze eisen een vertaling in de Engelse taal. Nu staat er niet veel, maar wel enige Nederlandse tekst op het rijbewijs. Om mogelijke verwarring en boetes met lokale overheidsinstanties, bijvoorbeeld de politie, te voorkomen raden we aan een internationaal rijbewijs van de ANWB aan te schaffen. Deze kost ongeveer € 19,- en is 1 jaar geldig (neem pasfoto en het geldige rijbewijs mee).
Walkabout is niet aansprakelijk voor eventuele boetes als de klant zonder Internationaal rijbewijs reist.
Tolwegen Australië
Rond de steden Melbourne, Sydney en Brisbane zijn verschillende tolwegen met automatische tolpoorten (je wordt geflitst). De Tol-betalingen worden dan automatisch door AVIS betaald elke keer als een tolweg wordt gereden. Deze worden vervolgens van je creditcard afgeschreven mits je deze hebt doorgegeven aan LINKT, de tolinstantie. Meer informatie hierover krijg je bij het ophalen van de auto, en vraag er ook naar mocht het niet duidelijk zijn.
Navigatie
Alle Avis-voertuigen zijn voorzien van een scherm met Android Auto en Apple Car Play, waarmee je je mobiele telefoon kunt verbinden met het systeem van de auto. Navigeren kan dan 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. Hieronder staan een paar tips om goed te kunnen navigeren in Australië:
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), al doen. Je
kunt dan navigeren zonder dat je mobiele data nodig hebt/gebruikt. (let op dat je ‘data roaming’
uitstaat als je in Australië bent).
2. On-Line navigeren met een Australische pre-paid simkaart
Je kunt in Australië 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. Dan kun je op dezelfde manier je telefoon aansluiten, maar dan met data-roaming navigeren tegen lokale kosten.
We raden dit 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.
Routebeperkingen 2WD auto’s
2WD auto’s: alleen asfaltwegen en goed onderhouden ‘gravel’ wegen zijn toegestaan. Gravelwegen zijn harde zandwegen, die mechanisch zijn afgevlakt ‘graded’.
Rijden op niet goed onderhouden onverharde wegen is niet toegestaan met de gewone 2WD
personenauto’s. (De verzekeringen vervallen als hierbij schade ontstaat!).
Een auto mag niet worden meegenomen naar Tasmania of Fraser Island. Voor Kangaroo Island is een toestemming van de verhuurder noodzakelijk. Magnetic Island is toegestaan.
In de uitgebreide huurvoorwaarden van AVIS op de volgende pagina’s worden onder de kop: RESTRICTED DRIVING ROADS / AREAS, per staat bepaalde regio’s en wegen genoemd waar je niet mag rijden, of alleen met een schriftelijke toestemming van AVIS.
Routebeperkingen 4WD auto’s
Behalve de regels die voor een 2WD gelden een 4WD rijden op onverharde wegen, mits het een erkende
route is, zgn. goed onderhouden zandwegen (‘gazetted roads’).
De Mereenie Loop, een populaire 4WD-route in de regio Xxxxx Xxxxxxx is toegestaan met een Full Size 4WD (Group W). Voor de populaire 4WD-route door de Kimberley Regio is voor de Gibb River Road vooraf toestemming van de verhuurder noodzakelijk. Zo zijn er meer zandwegen die aangevraagd moeten worden. In de uitgebreide huurvoorwaarden van AVIS op de volgende pagina’s worden onder de kop: RESTRICTED DRIVING ROADS / AREAS, per staat bepaalde regio’s en wegen genoemd waar je niet mag rijden, of alleen met een schriftelijke toestemming van AVIS.
Boetes, administratiekosten, tolwegen:
Nagekomen boetes voor verkeersovertredingen dienen te worden betaald per creditcard. De boetes worden door AVIS verhoogd met A$ 55 - A$ 61 administratiekosten. Dit geldt ook voor boetes wegens onbetaald gebruik van de tolwegen rondom de grote steden.
Problemen, pech of vragen onderweg
AVIS heeft een 24-uurs ‘Roadside Assistance’ telefoonnummer.
Neem altijd direct contact op met AVIS als je pech hebt, schade, noodzakelijke reparaties of klachten onderweg, dan kunnen ze je zo goed mogelijk helpen.
