Insurance

Escape Campervans insurance is comprehensive, great value and easy to understand.

Standard insurance is included in the daily rate , so there really are no hidden costs. However, hirers will be liable for any damage that may occur to the vehicle whilst it is on hire. This is capped though and the maximum liability is $2,500*

But many of our hirers choose to take out ‘excess waiver insurance’ which can reduce the maximum liability right down to nil (again, dependent on your age and the insurance option taken).

Remember, this is completely optional. Check out the three options within the table below and choose the one that is best for you.

Escape Rentals do not freeze or deduct the accident excess pre hire and will only action a credit card in the unfortunate event of accident or damage occurring.If the insurance excess waiver option is taken, it is valid for the first incident or accident only.

*The liability is capped but all insurance is waived if the vehicle is being driven in a manner which is outside the agreed terms of our contract eg. Drunk driving. In such instances, the hirers can be held liable for all costs associated with any accident.
