Although our vehicles are older models, typically the Australian average age of 10 years, they are well maintained by qualified experienced mechanics. We are confident your rental experience will be absolutely wonderful and that you'll be pleased to recommend us to your family and friends! General Conditions We have a few simple conditions applicable to our value packed deals.
- The driver must be aged 21 years or above.
If you are aged between 21 –24 then an additional $35 per week applies to your rental tariff. There are advantages to being older and if you are aged 25 years or above a cheaper rental tariff is available.
- The driver must be the holder of a current driver's licence valid for use in Western Australia.
We accept almost any driver's licence provided it is translated in English. We recommend you obtain an 'International Driving Permit' before traveling to Australia.
- The driver must produce recent photograph identification.
Driver's Licence, Passport, Student Identification Card, Library Card or Security Identification Card are just a few examples of acceptable photograph id - you may have something else which is acceptable like a Credit Card with photograph - basically any form of official photograph id is OK.
- The driver must be able to verify current residential address.
Latest telephone or electricity account, bank statement, Credit Card statement etc. Almost anything is fine providing it has been posted to your current residential address within 1-2 weeks prior to pick-up.
If you are visiting Western Australia from another state or country, in addition to the above verification of your usual residential address, you will also need full details of your Perth address including contact phone number (perhaps a rental accommodation receipt for a period exceeding the term of the car hire period or a friend/family member's local details).
- Payment of a Security Deposit Bond
A Security Deposit Bond of just $500 applies to drivers aged 25 years and above. The Bond is paid at the commencement of hire and held as a security deposit pending safe return of the car. If you are aged between 23-24 years of age, the bond required is $750 and if you are aged between 21-22 years, the bond required is $1000. You may pay the security deposit by cash or credit card but please be advised a 3% surcharge applies to credit card payments. The security deposit will be refunded either to your nominated bank account or credit card within 7 days after return of the vehicle.
Permitted Area of Travel – Perth Metropolitan Only Travel is valid within the Perth Metropolitan area only and is defined by us as being a 50km radius from the Perth CBD. The Lucky Economy tariff is extended to also include Mandurah to the south and Yanchep to the north of the City! Travel to unauthorised destinations is not permitted and may result in the loss of your security deposit bond.
What is Included in the Cost of Hire? - The cost of the car rental includes 500kms per week (or 50 kms per day for additional odd days ie: an 8 day hire would include total kms of 550);
- Standard insurance for one driver aged 25 years or above; an additional cost applies for drivers aged 21-24 years.
- All government taxes;
- And roadside service is provided for peace of mind.
- Standard insurance is included in any price you are quoted! The base rental tariff assumes the driver is over the age of 25 years. The policy covers you in the event of an accident with another vehicle, with multiple vehicles or in a single car accident. The policy does not extend to theft. There are also no nasty surprises such as a decline of cover if the accident occurs whilst reversing! The insurance we have is amongst the best available anywhere in Australia but does not extend to costs related to towing or salvage. The standard excess payable in the event of an accident is $1250.00 (subject to conditions) and applies regardless of fault. If you are not at fault for the accident, you are entitled to recover your costs from the responsible party or their insurer. Optional participation in our excess waiver further reduces your liability at a cost of just $35 per week.
- All vehicles are fitted with security immobilisers to help prevent theft.
Further Information: If the sole driver of the vehicle is aged between 21 – 24 years of age, please add a further $35 per week ($5 per day) to the rental tariff. If you require a 2nd driver insurance, the cost will be an additional $21 per week (or $3 per additional day) for a driver aged 25 years or above and $56 per week (or $8 per additional day) for a driver aged 21 – 24 years.
Our insurance excess is generally $1250.00 providing you are over 25 years of age. If you are aged between 23 - 24, an additional excess of $500 applies ie: total excess payable $1750. If you are aged between 21 - 22, the total excess payable is $2500. Providing you have held a driver's licence for more than 2 years and your driver history is good with no medical conditions likely to affect your driving ability, no other excess is generally applicable. An excess is only payable in the event of an accident or damage to the motor vehicle. If you successfully recover the damages from a third party, then no cost whatsoever is borne by you.
We offer an insurance waiver option reducing the standard insurance excess as follows:-
Over 25 - Reduced to $500 Under 25 - Reduced to $750 Between 21 - 22 - Reduced to $1000 This optional cover is in addition to the above insurance and costs $35 per week ($5 per day) per driver. It is not compulsory and Qualification Conditions Apply.
* Our tariffs are fully quoted and have no hidden charges!
What is NOT Included in the Cost of Hire? - We do not offer an airport pick-up and/or delivery service. Our off-airport services allow us to provide discounted rates without the expensive location overheads. These savings are passed on to you.
There is a coach service available at reasonable prices between the airport and our depot. We would be delighted to arrange this on your behalf if required and the cost is generally cheaper than a Taxi. You will find a link to this service here and at our Secure Internet Payment page.
- Cleaning of the vehicle is not included in the cost of hire and we recommend you wash and vacuum the vehicle prior to returning to the depot. If time restraints or lack of enthusiasm prevail, a $25 fee will apply for a standard wash and vacuum if required. This also enables us to provide discounted rates without expensive labour costs.
- Insurance cover for damage caused by wildlife is specifically excluded as our car rental services are Metropolitan only. Travel away to the countryside is not permitted. The insurance cover does not extend to theft of the motor vehicle.
- A break-down of the vehicle due to operator error (for example: low or no fuel, keys locked in car, broken key or flat battery) will result in a call-out fee being payable by you. The roadside service is complimentary for mechanical failures only – not operator error or non-urgent items.
- Our preferred method of payment is Cash and our quoted rental tariffs assume this payment method. We have no ATM or EFTPOS facilities available at our depot. You need to bring along enough money to cover the rental cost and the applicable bond requirement. The bond is of course fully refundable upon safe and clean return of the car. Credit card facilities are available onsite and from the website Bookings page, but please be advised a 3% surcharge will be applied to the total of your bill.
- Excess kilometres travelled over and above those included in your rental accumulate and are charged at a cost of 22c per additional kilometre.
- Fuel is not included in the price of your rental and must be replaced to the level indicated on your car hire agreement. Fuel prices can fluctuate regularly by as much as 10c per litre, so keeping an eye out for discounted fuel could save you valuable $. A fuel service applies in addition to the cost of refueling if we are required to fill the vehicle.
- Cigarette smoking, transportation of pets and tampering with company identification affixed to the vehicle is not permitted and may result in a bond deduction.
