travellers auto barn - perth motorhome rental companies

Travellers Auto Barn opened in Sydney in late 1993, at a time when there were already a number of dealers selling cars to backpackers. However, these businesses were car dealerships first and foremost, and did not really understand the needs of travellers. From the outset, Travellers Auto Barn focussed entirely on these special needs. As ex-backpackers, all of us decided to provide the kind of service we would expect ourselves. What you see today is the result. None of the car dealers that were selling to backpackers in 1993 still exist today!

All our branches are in the heart of the backpacker area and since 1993 we have opened several locations around Australia:
- Sydney in 1993 (and still at the same shop in Kings Cross)
- Cairns in 1999
- Brisbane & Melbourne in 2002
- Darwin & Perth 2005

Travellers Auto Barn knows Australia inside out - it's our home! We also know cars and love our job. Basically, the idea of travelling around Australia by bus is simply out of the question. For most Aussies, not just the adventurous ones, but students, families and retirees, the only way to see Australia is by car.

Whether you want a car for a week, a month, or a year, Travellers Auto Barn has something for you! We have taken much of the risk (for backpackers) out of buying good value cars. We have also restored confidence in the buyback system with our fixed and written Guaranteed Buyback -

ONLY TRAVELLERS AUTO BARN OFFERS GUARANTEED BUYBACK IN AUSTRALIA.

Travellers Auto Barn has made quality campervan rental affordable to all travellers and has a range of vehicles available for rent. We invite you to spend some time browsing our site. We have tried to provide everything you need to plan the Aussie holiday of a lifetime!

Travellers Auto Barn Insurance

PROTECTION PACKAGE
Personal Injury
The vehicle has compulsory third party personal insurance cover. It is likely that any other vehicle involved in an accident also has third party insurance cover. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, the renter may be entitled to claim for their personal injury against the third party insurance of the party responsible for the accident. The extent of such third party insurance varies in different states and territories and Travellers Auto Barn strongly recommends that all passengers take out their own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.

If the renter is responsible for the accident, the vehicle’s third party insurance should cover the renter for the liability except where the renter has committed a breach of the vehicle’s third party insurance, e.g. drink driving.

Property Damage
The vehicle is covered for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable liability for the cost of such damage to third party property, or to the rented vehicle. The renter is also responsible for administration costs and the cost of demurrage for the period the vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The liability applies in respect of each claim, not per rental.

The liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to Travellers Auto Barn, not at the completion of the rental period. In the event of a no-fault accident, Travellers Auto Barn will make every attempt to refund to the hirer any costs recovered from the party at fault less a minimum $150 administration fee.

Security Bond
A security bond is required upon pick-up of the vehicle. The amount of the security bond is determined by the applicable damage protection option you have chosen. Payment of the bond is only accepted by an open signed credit card with an authorization obtained (sufficient funds must be available). A debit card is NOT acceptable. The amount of the bond will not be debited from your account at this time. Plese note AMEX and Diners Club cards are charge cards, not credit cards and not acceptable as payment of the security bond.

If a debit card or EFTPOS card is inadvertently submitted then the funds will be debited immediately from the card. Any fees or charges incurred as a result of a debit card transaction remain the responsibility of the card holder. You may still need to submit the required credit card details for the funds to be released.

If there is damage to the vehicle on its return, the bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the amount of the relevant liability. However, if the terms of the rental contract are breached and the bond is insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.

Accidents and any other damages must be reported to Travellers Auto Barn within 24 hours of the occurrence or all insurance cover and damage protection cover is void.
All insurance cover is void if the Terms & Conditions or the Rental Agreement is breached.

Security Bond / Liability

Protection Plus & Midway Protection is payable to a maximum of 50 days for all vehicles. Protection Plus includes two tyres, one front windscreen and one side / rear glass.

*Additional Coverages
Windscreen Waiver ($2/day up to maximum $50 payable): With the purchase of the windscreen waiver, the hirer is not responsible to pay in the event that the windscreen needs to be replaced (first windscreen only).

Tyre Waiver($2/day up to maximum $50 payable): With purchase of the tyre waiver, the renter is not responsible to pay in the event that tyres need to be replaced (up to max of two tyres per rental).

Protection Plus includes all additional coverages, i.e. Windscreen Waiver & Tyre Waiver free of charge.

Please note: Personal items are not covered under vehicle insurance. We recommend you do not leave your valuables in your vehicle because of possible theft. We strongly recommend that all hirers take out their own travel insurance.

At all times the renter is responsible for:
- Damage caused where the terms of Rental Contract have been breached.
- Damage caused by negligence.
- Damage caused to the vehicle in any way by part or total water submersion or salt water.
- Damage caused to the vehicle by the renter’s wilful conduct.

- Damage or loss caused to any personal belongings.
