The Details

The practical stuff people usually ask via WhatsApp before booking — answered upfront.

What's Included in Every Booking

  • Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
  • 24/7 roadside assistance
  • Routine maintenance and servicing
  • GST

You cover: fuel, tolls, traffic fines, and the refundable $400 security deposit at pickup.


Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)

LDW is not insurance — it's a contractual waiver that caps your liability if the vehicle is damaged.

  • Refundable $400 security deposit at pickup
  • If damage occurs, the deposit covers repairs first
  • Above the deposit, your liability is capped: $1,500 standard, $2,500 for drivers under 25

We don't sell separate insurance policies. LDW is built into every booking.

  • Unlimited driving within 500km of Byron Bay
  • For trips beyond, let us know in advance
  • No daily km limit within the radius


Licence & Age Requirements

  • Australian driver's licence, or
  • International driver's licence + passport copy
  • International Driving Permit required if your licence is not in English
  • Minimum age 21
  • Drivers under 25 pay the higher excess ($2,500 vs $1,500)


Pickup & Return

  • Central Byron Bay pickup, confirmed via WhatsApp once your booking is in
  • Standard hours: 9am to 6pm weekdays

  • Subscriptions: 5 days notice to end or change

Payment

  • Credit or debit card accepted
  • Booking total charged at confirmation
  • $400 refundable security deposit charged at pickup
  • Deposit returned after vehicle return and inspection

  • Call us immediately on 0438 238 550 — 24/7
  • Take photos of the scene and all vehicles involved
  • Exchange details with the other driver (name, licence, rego, insurance)
