What exactly is Flex?
Flex Rates allows us to offer flexible pricing, which gives you the opportunity to secure the best possible rental rate. The Flex Rates are based on a very simple system of supply and demand. So
when there are a large number of vehicles available for hire from a particular branch then the rental rate is lower. This way you can benefit from the lower rates offered. Generally, this means
that the earlier you book the cheaper the rate! There will also be great Standby Rates!
How does the Flex system work?
‘Flex Rates’ will be emailed out every Friday and will be valid from each following Monday through to Sunday inclusive (rates will be updated at 11:59pm Sundays AEST). Flex rates also can be
viewed at www.apollocamper.com/flexrates
What happens if there is an amendment to the booking?
If you wish to make any changes to your booking the booking will be calculated by using either the original flex rate or the flex rate that is valid at the time of the booking change, depending on whichever rate is higher. There are no exceptions to this rule. The following situations are classified as booking alterations:
- Change of date for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of location (depot) for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change
If you decide to extend your rental duration (changing the drop-off date) by 2 days the same flex
rate is used that applied on the day when you made your original booking. If you extend by 3
days or more, the booking change rule applies as outlined above.
If an amendment is made to the rental dates within 14 days of collection, no refund will be made
if the length of hire is shortened (that is; the rental will be charged at the number of days
originally booked). A relocation fee may apply if the collection or return location is amended
within 14 days of vehicle pick up or if notification occurs during the hire.
Flex Options
From time to time we have the need to move vehicles from one location to another and therefore can offer better rates for certain movements. All applicable Flex Options will be included at the bottom of the Flex Rate Page.
Other Apollo Rates
Flex Rates are completely separate to any other rate or special you may have. Flex Rates do not replace these other rates or specials, rather Flex Rates offer you another choice. Flex Rates only apply to new bookings. Apollo will not accept cancellations of any other rate scheme that are then re-booked using Flex Rates or vice versa. Flex Rates cannot be combined with any other
rate scheme.
Branches
Apollo has branches in Auckland and Christchurch. Branches are open seven days a week, 8am
to 4:30pm. Branches will be closed Christmas Day, New Years Day and Good Friday.
Transfer
Vehicles must be collected and returned to our branches (not airports). A transfer to the Apollo
branch from the Airport and vice versa is provided free of charge.
Taxes
Our rates include GST of 12.5%.
Diesel Tax Recovery Fee
The Diesel Tax Recovery Fee will be calculated and collected on return of the vehicle based on the
kilometres travelled during the hire.
The fee per 100km is as follows:
Hitop (inc cheapa campa): Nil
2 Berth ST (inc cheapa campa): NZ$4.70
4 Berth: NZ$4.70
6 Berth: NZ$4.85
We reserve the right to amend the Diesel Tax Recovery Fee upon Government intervention.
Credit Cards
We only accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club. Visa and MasterCard will
incur an additional 2% surcharge on any transaction. American Express and Diners Club will incur
an additional 4.5% surcharge on any transaction.
Exchange Rate / Currency Variations
All credit card transactions are conducted in New Zealand dollars. Due to exchange rate fluctuations there could be some variance in the amount refunded compared to the amount initially charged. We do not accept any liability for variances up or down. Refunds by credit card can take up to 15 working days depending on the renter’s Financial Institution.
Rental Duration
The minimum rental period for all vehicles is seven days.
Between 15 December 2009 and 10 January 2010, a minimum rental period of 14 days applies. Minimum rental periods are subject to change during peak periods.

vice versa, where pick up is between 1 November 2009 and 31 March 2010.
Driver’s Licence and Minimum Age
A current and full motor vehicle driver’s licence is required. If the driver’s licence is not in the
English language then an international driver’s licence is also required. An accredited English
translation will be accepted in lieu of an international driving permit. The driver’s licence must
have been held for at least two years and be valid for the whole length of the rental. The original
driver’s licence must be shown at time of pick-up when the driver is present.

matches, mini shampoo and conditioner, dishwashing liquid, sponge, soap, salt and pepper,

the vehicle is returned.
Multiple Rentals
Consecutive rentals can be combined to qualify for a long-term discount rate. Rentals in the
United States of America, Australia and New Zealand can be combined to obtain a long-term
discount rate, providing travel is within a 3 month period. If drop off of a vehicle and pick up of a
new vehicle occurs on the same day then a day each will be charged per respective vehicle.
Multiple rentals are treated as separate rentals under the one way fee and minimum rental period
conditions.
Ferry Reservations
Ferry reservations can be difficult to manage during high season. We recommend that a reservation is made for a 7.3m vehicle on the ferry, irrespective as to the size of the motorhome reserved, to avoid complications due to possible upgrades.
Travel Restrictions
Two Wheel Drive Vehicles 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 500 metres in length.
No vehicle shall be driven on Skippers Road (Queenstown), Ninety Mile Beach (Northland), Ball Hut
Road (Mt. Cook), Bluff Road that runs between Kuatunu and Mataurangi and North of Colville
Township (Coromandel Peninsula).
Apollo reserves the right at its sole discretion to restrict vehicle movements in certain areas due to
adverse road or weather conditions.
Change of Drop off Destination
If the renter wishes to change the drop off destination after the rental has commenced, they first
must obtain authorisation from Apollo. Subject to the change being approved, a minimum
additional charge of $700 will apply.
Rental Extension
If the customer wishes to extend the rental whilst on hire, they must first obtain authorisation
from Apollo Reservations who will advise of the additional costs. Rental extension is subject to
fleet availability. The extra cost (Gross Rate) of an extended rental must be paid by credit card
over the telephone or at an Apollo Branch immediately on confirmation of the rental extension.
Failure to obtain authorisation will result in the renter being charged double the daily gross rental
rate.
Repairs
Although we run late model vehicles, it may happen that small repairs are required. Repairs up to
$100 may be affected without authorisation and will be reimbursed unless the damage is caused
by the renter. For amounts over $100, Apollo will need to be informed in advance. All vehicles
are enrolled in the New Zealand Automobile Association and 24hr emergency roadside assistance
is available.
Traffic Infringements
We reserve the right to charge the renter for any speeding or parking fines, traffic infringements
or road toll fines. An additional administration fee of $75 per fine will apply to cover the costs of
processing.
Change of Vehicle
Should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right
to substitute an alternative vehicle without prior notification and at no extra cost. This shall not
constitute a breach of contract and does not entitle the renter to a refund.
Vehicle Category
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by vehicle category.
Voluntary Downgrade
Should the renter decide to take a lesser vehicle than booked within 14 days of pick up or during
the rental then they will not be entitled to any refund.
Limit of Liability
In the event of no alternative vehicle being available to the renter our liability is limited to a
refund of the hire charge or in the case of mechanical failure (unless caused by the renter) the
remainder of the hire period.
Important
We reserve the right to refuse any rental at our discretion.
Animals
No animals are permitted in our vehicles, excluding guide dogs.
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that the renter/s take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Personal Injury
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Apollo strongly
recommends that all people travelling in New Zealand take out their own personal travel
insurance.
Property Damage
The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the
renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for the cost of such damage to
third party property, or to the rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of
demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability applies in respect
of each claim, not per rental.
The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is
reported to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental Period.
Standard Liability
Apollo’s rental charge includes a Standard Liability of $7,500.
A Bond of $7,500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. Payment of
this Bond is only accepted by credit card. The $7,500 will be debited to the credit card account
immediately. An administration fee equal to the merchant surcharge applies.
The Standard Liability can be reduced by purchasing one of the following Reduction Options:
Reduction Option 1
A Liability of $2,500 applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Apollo $22 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $1,100 – i.e. 50 days rental.
A Bond of $2,500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. Payment of
this Bond is only accepted by credit card. The $2,500 will be debited to the credit card account
immediately. An administration fee equal to the merchant surcharge applies.
Reduction Option 2 (VIP Cover)
A $0 (zero) Liability applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Apollo $38 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $1,900 – i.e. 50 days rental.
Under this option one windscreen and two tyres will be covered for accidental damage. Should
these amounts be exceeded the cost to repair or replace the items will not be covered and will be
the responsibility of the renter.
A Bond of $250 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. This Bond is
payable to Apollo by an open signed credit card imprint with an authorisation obtained (sufficient
funds must be available) for $250.
Bond
For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a Bond. The credit card holder
must be present and able to sign for the Bond upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is
jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location on time, is full of
fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been complied with. If there is damage to
the vehicle on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the
amount of the relevant Liability. However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and
the Bond is insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
Full Responsibility
At all times the renter is responsible for:
. Damage caused where the terms of Rental Contract have been breached.
. Damage caused by negligence.
. Damage caused to the Vehicle in any way by part or total water submersion or salt water.
. Damage caused to the Vehicle by the renter’s willful conduct.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that the renter/s take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Personal Injury
The Vehicle has third party insurance cover. It is likely that any other vehicle involved in an
accident also has third party insurance cover. Personal Injury in New Zealand is covered by the
Accident Compensation Commission. Apollo strongly recommends that all passengers take out
their own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.
If the renter is responsible for the accident the Vehicle’s third party insurance should cover the
renter for the liability except where the renter has committed a breach of the Vehicle’s third party
insurance, e.g. drink driving.
Property Damage
The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the
renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for the cost of such damage to
third party property, or to the rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of
demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability applies in respect
of each claim, not per rental. In addition to the Liability an administration fee of $75 will be
charged per claim.
The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is
reported to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental Period.
Standard Liability
Apollo’s rental charge includes a Standard Liability of $5,000.
A Bond of $5,000 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. Payment of this
Bond is only accepted by credit card. The $5,000 will be debited to the credit card account
immediately. An administration fee equal to the merchant surcharge applies.
The Standard Liability can be reduced by purchasing one of the following Reduction Options:
Reduction Option 1
A Liability of $2,500 applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Apollo $20 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $1,000 – i.e. 50 days rental.
With this Option a Bond of $2,500 will be collected.
Reduction Option 2 (VIP Cover)
A Liability of $250 applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Apollo $35 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $1,750 – i.e. 50 days rental.
With this Option a Bond of $250 will be collected.
Single Vehicle Accident Liability
If a Single Vehicle Accident (an accident not involving another vehicle) occurs on any access roads
to ski fields or campgrounds then an additional non-waiverable Liability of $5000 will apply.
Bond
With Reduction Option 1 and Reduction Option 2 a Bond is payable to Apollo by cash, NZ$
traveller’s cheques or by an open signed credit card imprint with an authorisation obtained
(sufficient funds must be available) for the amount of the Bond. Personal or company cheques are
not accepted.
If the Bond for Reduction Option 1 or Reduction Option 2 is given in cash or NZ$ traveller’s
cheques then the renter’s passport must be presented on pick up. Due to security reasons the
refund will be by Apollo’s company cheque, which is sent to the renter’s home address from the
Apollo Head Office.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location on time, is full of
fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been complied with. If there is damage to the
vehicle on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the amount of
the relevant Liability. However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and the Bond is
insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
Full Responsibility
At all times the renter is responsible for:
• Damage caused where the terms of Rental Contract have been breached.
• Damage caused by negligence.

What exactly is Flex?
Flex Rates allows us to offer flexible pricing, which gives you the opportunity to secure the best possible rental rate. The Flex Rates are based on a very simple system of supply and demand. So
when there are a large number of vehicles available for hire from a particular branch then the rental rate is lower. This way you can benefit from the lower rates offered. Generally, this means
that the earlier you book the cheaper the rate! There will also be great Standby Rates!
How does the Flex system work?
‘Flex Rates’ will be emailed out every Friday and will be valid from each following Monday through to Sunday inclusive (rates will be updated at 11:59pm Sundays AEST). Flex rates also can be
viewed at www.apollocamper.com/flexrates
What happens if there is an amendment to the booking?
If you wish to make any changes to your booking the booking will be calculated by using either the original flex rate or the flex rate that is valid at the time of the booking change, depending on whichever rate is higher. There are no exceptions to this rule. The following situations are classified as booking alterations:
- Change of date for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of location (depot) for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change
If you decide to extend your rental duration (changing the drop-off date) by 2 days the same flex
rate is used that applied on the day when you made your original booking. If you extend by 3
days or more, the booking change rule applies as outlined above.
If an amendment is made to the rental dates within 14 days of collection, no refund will be made
if the length of hire is shortened (that is; the rental will be charged at the number of days
originally booked). A relocation fee may apply if the collection or return location is amended
within 14 days of vehicle pick up or if notification occurs during the hire.
Flex Options
From time to time we have the need to move vehicles from one location to another and therefore can offer better rates for certain movements. All applicable Flex Options will be included at the bottom of the Flex Rate Page.
Other Apollo Rates
Flex Rates are completely separate to any other rate or special you may have. Flex Rates do not replace these other rates or specials, rather Flex Rates offer you another choice. Flex Rates only apply to new bookings. Apollo will not accept cancellations of any other rate scheme that are then re-booked using Flex Rates or vice versa. Flex Rates cannot be combined with any other
rate scheme.

Apollo has branches in Auckland and Christchurch. Branches are open seven days a week, 8am
to 4:30pm. Branches will be closed Christmas Day, New Years Day and Good Friday.

United States of America, Australia and New Zealand can be combined to obtain a long-term
discount rate, providing travel is within a 3 month period. If drop off of a vehicle and pick up of a
new vehicle occurs on the same day then a day each will be charged per respective vehicle.
Multiple rentals are treated as separate rentals under the one way fee and minimum rental period
conditions.
Ferry Reservations
Ferry reservations can be difficult to manage during high season. We recommend that a reservation is made for a 7.3m vehicle on the ferry, irrespective as to the size of the motorhome reserved, to avoid complications due to possible upgrades.
Travel Restrictions
Two Wheel Drive Vehicles 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 500 metres in length.
No vehicle shall be driven on Skippers Road (Queenstown), Ninety Mile Beach (Northland), Ball Hut
Road (Mt. Cook), Bluff Road that runs between Kuatunu and Mataurangi and North of Colville
Township (Coromandel Peninsula).
Apollo reserves the right at its sole discretion to restrict vehicle movements in certain areas due to
adverse road or weather conditions.

must obtain authorisation from Apollo. Subject to the change being approved, a minimum
additional charge of $700 will apply.

If the customer wishes to extend the rental whilst on hire, they must first obtain authorisation
from Apollo Reservations who will advise of the additional costs. Rental extension is subject to
fleet availability. The extra cost (Gross Rate) of an extended rental must be paid by credit card
over the telephone or at an Apollo Branch immediately on confirmation of the rental extension.
Failure to obtain authorisation will result in the renter being charged double the daily gross rental
rate.
Repairs
Although we run late model vehicles, it may happen that small repairs are required. Repairs up to
$100 may be affected without authorisation and will be reimbursed unless the damage is caused
by the renter. For amounts over $100, Apollo will need to be informed in advance. All vehicles
are enrolled in the New Zealand Automobile Association and 24hr emergency roadside assistance
is available.
Traffic Infringements
We reserve the right to charge the renter for any speeding or parking fines, traffic infringements
or road toll fines. An additional administration fee of $75 per fine will apply to cover the costs of
processing.
Change of Vehicle
Should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right
to substitute an alternative vehicle without prior notification and at no extra cost. This shall not
constitute a breach of contract and does not entitle the renter to a refund.
Vehicle Category
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by vehicle category.
Voluntary Downgrade
Should the renter decide to take a lesser vehicle than booked within 14 days of pick up or during
the rental then they will not be entitled to any refund.

refund of the hire charge or in the case of mechanical failure (unless caused by the renter) the
remainder of the hire period.

PROTECTION PACKAGE
Personal Injury
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. Apollo strongly
recommends that all people travelling in New Zealand take out their own personal travel
insurance.
Property Damage
The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the
renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for the cost of such damage to
third party property, or to the rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of
demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability applies in respect
of each claim, not per rental.
The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is
reported to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental Period.
Standard Liability
Apollo’s rental charge includes a Standard Liability of $7,500.
A Bond of $7,500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. Payment of
this Bond is only accepted by credit card. The $7,500 will be debited to the credit card account
immediately. An administration fee equal to the merchant surcharge applies.
The Standard Liability can be reduced by purchasing one of the following Reduction Options:
Reduction Option 1
A Liability of $2,500 applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Apollo $22 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $1,100 – i.e. 50 days rental.

Under this option one windscreen and two tyres will be covered for accidental damage. Should
these amounts be exceeded the cost to repair or replace the items will not be covered and will be
the responsibility of the renter.
A Bond of $250 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. This Bond is
payable to Apollo by an open signed credit card imprint with an authorisation obtained (sufficient
funds must be available) for $250.
Bond
For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a Bond. The credit card holder
must be present and able to sign for the Bond upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is
jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location on time, is full of
fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been complied with. If there is damage to
the vehicle on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the
amount of the relevant Liability. However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and
the Bond is insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
Full Responsibility
At all times the renter is responsible for:
. Damage caused where the terms of Rental Contract have been breached.
. Damage caused by negligence.
. Damage caused to the Vehicle in any way by part or total water submersion or salt water.
. Damage caused to the Vehicle by the renter’s willful conduct.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that the renter/s take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Personal Injury
The Vehicle has third party insurance cover. It is likely that any other vehicle involved in an
accident also has third party insurance cover. Personal Injury in New Zealand is covered by the
Accident Compensation Commission. Apollo strongly recommends that all passengers take out
their own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.
If the renter is responsible for the accident the Vehicle’s third party insurance should cover the
renter for the liability except where the renter has committed a breach of the Vehicle’s third party
insurance, e.g. drink driving.
Property Damage
The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the
renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for the cost of such damage to
third party property, or to the rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of
demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability applies in respect
of each claim, not per rental. In addition to the Liability an administration fee of $75 will be
charged per claim.
The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is
reported to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental Period.
Standard Liability
Apollo’s rental charge includes a Standard Liability of $5,000.
A Bond of $5,000 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. Payment of this
Bond is only accepted by credit card. The $5,000 will be debited to the credit card account
immediately. An administration fee equal to the merchant surcharge applies.
The Standard Liability can be reduced by purchasing one of the following Reduction Options:
Reduction Option 1
A Liability of $2,500 applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Apollo $20 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $1,000 – i.e. 50 days rental.
With this Option a Bond of $2,500 will be collected.
Reduction Option 2 (VIP Cover)
A Liability of $250 applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Apollo $35 per day. The
maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is $1,750 – i.e. 50 days rental.
With this Option a Bond of $250 will be collected.
Single Vehicle Accident Liability
If a Single Vehicle Accident (an accident not involving another vehicle) occurs on any access roads
to ski fields or campgrounds then an additional non-waiverable Liability of $5000 will apply.
Bond
With Reduction Option 1 and Reduction Option 2 a Bond is payable to Apollo by cash, NZ$
traveller’s cheques or by an open signed credit card imprint with an authorisation obtained
(sufficient funds must be available) for the amount of the Bond. Personal or company cheques are
not accepted.
If the Bond for Reduction Option 1 or Reduction Option 2 is given in cash or NZ$ traveller’s
cheques then the renter’s passport must be presented on pick up. Due to security reasons the
refund will be by Apollo’s company cheque, which is sent to the renter’s home address from the
Apollo Head Office.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location on time, is full of
fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been complied with. If there is damage to the
vehicle on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the amount of
the relevant Liability. However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and the Bond is
insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
