Interested in reducing your excess?
Accident Access Reduction
Accidents can happen to even the most careful drivers. Whilst the vehicle is in your care you are responsible for any damage, this includes damage caused by events you can’t control, such as a hailstorm, or the vehicle being hit while parked. Camplify offers hirers excess reduction packages to reduce the hirer’s liability in cases of damage caused by such events or accidentally caused by the hirer or an authorised driver.
What are the options?
Camplify offers three excess reduction approaches: "Standard", "Silver", and "Gold". These options represent different combinations of main excess amounts and additional coverage terms. Each approach involves varying levels of protection for specific items such as windscreen and tyre replacement.
Standard involves the basic excess structure with higher excess amounts for windscreen and tyre replacement.
Silver and Gold both offer reduced excess amounts for these additional items whilst maintaining the same main excess levels. All three options include premium roadside assistance coverage.
The choice between these options depends on individual preferences regarding coverage levels during your rental period.
Complete details of excess amounts, daily rates, and inclusions for all vehicle types and rental scenarios are available in the downloadable PDF.
