Bond / Security Requirements
- At all times a Bond is required for security over any vehicle being hired, whether this is in the form of a Credit Card or Cash it is up to the vehicle owners discretion.
- When the Gold Cover Insurance Liability Reduction option is chosen this does not change the fact a Security Bond is required.
- The hirer may have a $150 or zero rated excess however security over the vehicle itself must be held. This is called “the bond.”
- This is non-debatable criteria and no-one must hire a vehicle without this form of security.
- Simply - No Security Bond = No Rental Vehicle.
