Calculating the number of days and
daily rate
When calculating the rate for a Multi-Hire rental, apply the
applicable daily rate that reflects the total number of days
the customer is renting the vehicle(s). Where multi island
hires cross two seasons (ie; rental commences high season
& completes in low season) the daily rate applicable for the
entire hire is based on the date the hire commences.
Multi 24
If the client has no more than 24 hours between returning
one vehicle and picking up the next on any rental sector for
the duration of the hire, calculate the total number of days
from the starting date and time to the final return date and
time (the ‘down time’ between vehicles is considered part
of the hire period).
For example:
Pick up Auckland 1/06/12 0900 / Return Wellington 4/6/12
0900
Pick up Picton 4/6/12 1200 / Return Christchurch 7/6/12
1200 = 1/06/12 0900 to 7/06/12 1200 = 7 days
Apply the 7-13 day rental rate
Multi 72
If the client has up to 72 hours between returning one
vehicle and picking up the next on any rental sector for the
duration of the hire, calculate the total number of days by
adding each individual sector separately (allow a 59 minute
grace period on each rental sector before an extra full day
is charged).
For example:
Pick up Auckland 1/6/12 1200 / Return Wellington 6/6/12
1200 (5 days)
Pick up Picton 8/6/12 1600 / Return Queenstown 15/6/12
0900 (7 days)
Pick up Queenstown 17/6/12 / Return Christchurch
22/06/12 1200 (5 days)
Combine all rentals eg. 5 + 7 + 5 = 17 days
Apply the 14-20 day rental rate
Ferry Crossings between Islands
We will meet pre-booked clients arriving off scheduled
ferry services between the hours of 0800 (8:00am) and
1800 (6:00pm) only. Reservations for pick-up outside these
hours are on a ‘request’ basis only and an additional fee of
$51.75 including GST may apply. This fee will be payable
direct to Thrifty by the renter at the time of collecting the
vehicle.
Payment
Thrifty accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and
Diners Club cards. The credit/charge card must be in the
name of the authorised renter. Third party credit/charge
cards are not acceptable. Please note Thrifty will charge a
transaction fee of 1.9% + GST for all amounts transacted
on a credit card. Your client will be required to leave credit
card details as a deposit. At the conclusion of the rental any
additional charges payable by your client will be calculated
and detailed on the rental agreement, together with any
balance to be collected. Unfortunately we’re unable to
accept a cash deposit.
