Excess is the amount of money that you're liable for when something happens to your campervan. It's the part of an insurance claim that you as the insured person need to pay.

See for an overview of our insurance options and the amount of excess, your liability. Our Stress-Free Insurance Option is the recommended option as it covers the most and has $0 excess/liability.

The excess amount will be frozen as bond on your credit or debit card at the start of your road trip, in case of an accident or damages. It isn't processed as payment so we don't take it from your card, we just freeze it. It means that the bond amount needs to be available on your card and will be frozen 1 day before pick-up for the duration of your trip.

The bond is used for the repair costs in case of damages or an accident. This means that in case the vehicle is damaged in any form or way or is involved in an accident, you are liable (pay) for the damages up to but not limited to the bond amount of the selected insurance level. 

Credit card or debit card details must be on all rental agreements. You can choose the Stress-Free Insurance Option or Partial Insurance to reduce your bond to $0.
