DEFINITIONS
‘JUCY’ means JUCY Group Ltd (owner) and the ‘Hirer' means the person or persons nominated as the hirer and any person whose credit card is presented for payment of the hirer’s charges.
‘Vehicle’ means the vehicle hired by the Hirer and includes tyres, tools, accessories, and all other equipment, documents or additional hire items related to the vehicle and any replacement or substitute vehicle that may be provided.
JUCY will let and the Hirer will accept the motor vehicle described in the Rental Agreement (the vehicle) on the terms set out in this agreement.
RENTAL DURATION
a) The term of hire shall commence and cease at the time and dates specified in the Rental Agreement. Campervan charges are calculated on a calendar day basis. When calculating the number of days the vehicle is rented, the day of pick-up is counted as day one of the rental, regardless of pick-up time. The day of the vehicle’s return is counted as the final day of the rental regardless of drop off time.
b) Minimum rental period is 5 days and subject to change, and any such change will be notified to the Hirer prior to booking confirmation. Once a Confirmation has been received by the Hirer, JUCY may not alter the minimum rental period for that booking.
RATES, AMENDMENTS AND CANCELLATION CONDITIONS
a) Rates and conditions quoted in our website, brochures and/or documentation are subject to change without notice. However (subject to changes in legislation or system generated errors) JUCY will not alter rates or conditions applicable to the Hirer’s rental once the Hirer’s booking has been confirmed by JUCY unless a booking is amended.
b) All amendments to a booking are subject to availability and approval by JUCY. Any amendments made to a booking will be calculated by using the higher one of two rates, either the original rate or the rate current at the time of the booking alteration. Any amendments to the category are considered a new booking and cancellation fees may apply to the new booking. Any changes are charged per amendment request. Amendments to the drop off location after the rental has commenced must be approved by JUCY, if approved one-way fees may apply.
c) Should the Hirer decide to voluntarily downgrade their vehicle type from the category booked, they will not be entitled to a refund.
d) All changes to a booking, including extensions to the Return Date, are subject to availability and approval by JUCY and must be requested through JUCY’s reservations team at least 48 hours prior to the Return Date or any agreed extension thereof. In the event of any unauthorised extension to the Return Date, the Hirer shall pay the current daily rental rate for each day until the Vehicle is returned and an additional late return fee of such amount JUCY nominates as its reasonable costs in connection with such unauthorised extension being not more than $500. In the event of any unauthorised change to the Return Location, the Hirer shall pay a relocation fee as determined by JUCY acting reasonably but in any event not in excess of $500.
e) JUCY always do the best to accommodate requests, however, should the campervan booked be unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, JUCY will substitute the booked campervan with an alternative available campervan at the time of pick-up, at no extra cost. Any changes made to the booked campervan and agreed to by the customer do not entitle the customer to a refund. In the event of no alternate campervan being available to the customer, JUCY’s liability is limited to a refund of the hire charge.
PERSONS WHO MAY DRIVE THE VEHICLE
a) The Vehicle may be hired and driven during the Term of Hire only by the persons specified as authorised drivers in the Rental Agreement, and only if they hold a valid driver’s licence, which must be presented to JUCY at time of collection of the Vehicle (‘Authorised Driver’).
