Standard Cover
The third choice is not to take any damage protection offered in Option 1 & Option 2. This is considered to be an extremely risky choice as if you are involved in an accident, you are responsible for up to $5,000 for each & every claim, plus the additional $1,500 for a single vehicle accident if applicable. All the conditions that apply under CDW apply if this cover is taken except the Damage liability payable. Note 1: Bond/Deposit Return. If the vehicle is returned with any damage, or has been involved in an accident, whether the fault of the renter or not, the bond will be retained by depot location until the full cost of the damage is determined, or the claim has been settled by the Third Partys Insurance Company. The Bond will then be returned to the renter in full if it is determined that there is no liability to the third party under Australian Motor Vehicle Laws & with Australian litigation. Please note that Third Party claims can take months or even years to resolve. It is up to the Insurance Company and the Third Party, may they be insured or not. Note 2: Bond/Deposit Return. (Partial Return) If the vehicle is returned with damage that is of an undetermined repair cost, the full bond will be retained by us until the full cost of repair has been established. Only then will the unused portion, if any, of the bond (the difference between the bond that was retained and the actual repair cost) be refunded to the client. This may take up to six weeks to establish & complete. In the case of a third party involved the time taken could be six months. Note 3: Bond/Deposit Return. Single Vehicle Accident Single vehicle accidents are defined as any damage that is done to the vehicle where no other vehicle is involved, or where the accident is with another vehicle, but you cannot provide the drivers licence, name or the registration number of the other vehicle. Examples of single vehicle accidents include such things as running into trees, guideposts or animals, whether intentionally or not, whilst travelling forward or reversing. Collision with animals are considered to be a single vehicle accident, as too is overturning the vehicle, or any other damage done to the vehicle for any reason where there was not another vehicle directly involved. Note 4: Drivers under 23 years. Proposed drivers that are under the age of 23 years on pick-up of the vehicle are unable to take CPPP Damage Protection. These drivers may qualify to drive at the discretion of the management if they are over the age of 21 years on the day of pick up. These drivers will incur an additional bond of $1,500 (bringing their Bond to a total of $3,500 for CDW or $6,500 for Collision Damage - Option 3) which will become the excess if there is any damage done to the vehicle. Note 5: Liability limits will apply for each accident, dependent on the Damage Protection chosen. A new bond will need to be lodged after each accident. Note 6: 4WD Rentals: CPPP Protection is not available on 4WD Rentals travelling on the Gibb River Road and to Cape York. The hirer will be liable in case of an accident up to A$ 2,000. In case of a single vehicle accident the hirer will be liable for an additional A$1,500. The total liability will be A$3,500.

Single vehicle accident
Single accident is not covered by any cover options. A $3750 excess is applicable on any single vehicle accident. Examples of single vehicle accidents include such things as running into trees, guideposts or animals, whether intentionally or not, whilst travelling forward or reversing. Collision with animals are considered to be a single vehicle accident, as too is overturning the vehicle, or any other damage done to the vehicle for any reason where there was not another vehicle directly involved.
