SELF GUIDED TOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Payment and Cancellations - A detailed confirmation will be provided shortly after your booking that details the costs and timescales for payments.

At the time of booking a non refundable 20% reservation deposit will be processed. This covers deposits payable for the accommodation.

The remainder of the accommodation and itinerary is payable 1 month prior to the tour start date and is automatically processed using the credit card details you gave us for the reservation deposit.

If we have booked a vehicle on your behalf then details of this and your contract with the vehicle company will be sent to you as a PDF file.

30 days from the start date of the tour the cancellation fee is the full amount of the tour.

We are pleased to arrange internal flights, ferries and side trips such as Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Island cruises. Where the costs of these are payable upon booking we will inform you and process this when we book them on your behalf. Flights and ferries are normally non refundable items due to the policies of flight and ferry operators.

It is vital you take out good travel insurance to cover you in the event of a cancellation. We will be pleased to provide invoices for cancellations so that you can pass them on to your insurance company for a claim.

Breakdowns and Accommodation - As with any mechanical device they unfortunately break down. It is rare these days but should it happen you must call the emergency number provided to you by the vehicle rental company. Drive RoundNZ has no control over their procedures and so it is vital you call them and make arrangements for repairs/help.

If your journey is goign to be delayed and you won't make the accommodation that night then call the accommodation for that evening and let them know. Call or e-mail us and let us know the situaiton along with the best way of contacting you. We will do our best to rearrange the accommodation for you but where there is no longer availability we may need to book you into alternative accoommodation. In this event and where cancellations charges apply these costs must be paid by you and recovered from the vehicle rental company or insurance where possible.

Travel Insurance - It is VERY IMPORTANT that you obtain good quality full travel insurance policy for your trip. You should take advice as to the best policy but it should cover cancellation, medical costs including transportation to hospital (flying doctor costs for example), replacement vehicle cover (if a vehicle is written off, for example, and the driver/rider is injured you may wish to continue via another form of transport and repatriation in the event of serious injury or death. DriveRoundNz accepts no responsibility for a customer’s failure to arrange appropriate cover. We strongly recommend you cover yourself with travel insurance in case of accident and to ensure that if your personal circumstances change and you have to cancel your costs are covered.

Driving Areas - Travel on remote gravel roads can be extremely dangerous unless you are well prepared and know how to deal with difficult situations. Every year tourists find themselves in trouble and some even die due to lack of preparation and knowledge. If you intend to drive on remote gravel roads then you MUST inform us of your plans. You should check with your vehicle rental company if you intend to drive on any gravel roads on your trip.
