No, you don’t need to pay the full Vehicle Write-off Fee ($18,000 or $9,000) as a bond when you pick up your campervan. However, if the vehicle is declared a total write-off during your trip, you will be responsible for this amount as part of the Basic Insurance excess.
Instead, we will place a temporary hold (freeze) on your credit or debit card for:
$5,000 if you choose Basic Insurance, or
$3,000 if you choose Partial Insurance.
This hold is placed the day before you collect your campervan.
