Summary of SouthWest Car Hire Rental Conditions

This page contains a brief summary of our rental conditions. The full details of our rental contract do apply. For a full copy of the Terms & Conditions email t&c@southwestcarhire.com.au.

Rental Charges
The minimum rental charge is for a period of 24 hours. If the vehicle is returned after the due time, extra charges will be applied. There is a grace period of 59 minutes. Between 1 hour and 1 hour and 59 minutes, a charge of one half of the daily rate will be applied, after which a full day rate will be charged.

What is your responsibility?
When you rent a vehicle from SouthWest CAR HIRE, you are responsible for returning that vehicle to SouthWest CAR HIRE in the same condition it was in at the start of the rental, with the exception of normal wear and tear. To protect you against any unforeseen circumstances, most SouthWest CAR HIRE rates include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) which provides cover for damages to the SouthWest CAR HIRE vehicle and /or Third Party Property.
In the event of damage however, an Accident Damages Excess will apply per incident regardless of fault. This is the amount you contribute towards the loss of, or damage caused to, the SouthWest CAR HIRE vehicle and/or Third Party Property. This means that generally all damage up to the limit of the Accident Damages Excess is your responsibility. If the damages are less than the Accident Damages Excess, you are responsible only for the damages.

Generally an Accident Damages Excess (ADE) is $2200.00
The renter may purchase optional Renter Cover Options to increase their level of protection. Levels of cover are available as outlined below and full details will be provided at the rental counter when the renter can make their selection (as long as you comply with the Rental Terms and Conditions).

Protection Package (PKG) $25.00 per Day

  • Reduces Accident Damages Excess to $330.00
  • Zero Excess on Tyre & Windscreen Damage

Refuelling Options
SouthWest CAR HIRE provides you with a full tank of fuel when you collect your vehicle and a Refuellling Service is offered for your convenience. You may return the vehicle with less than a full tank of fuel and SouthWest CAR HIRE will refuel for you. This refueling service charge will be added to the cost of the rental.

Travel Restrictions
Two Wheel Drive Vehicles can only be driven on sealed/bitumen roads and inside our Limitation Boundaries which are Monkey Mia to the North, Kalgoorlie to the East and Esperance to the South.

Driver's License and Minimum Age
On pick up of the vehicle a valid, non-provisional, State, Overseas or International licence is required to be presented in person by all people wishing to drive the vehicle.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that clients ensure they take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.

Credit or charge card charges.
SouthWest CAR HIRE requires a credit or charge card (Bankcard, Visa MasterCard Amex or Diners) imprint for each rental with an authorization obtained for the approx amount of the rental plus a bond. Any charge for the hire, fuel & damage to the rental vehicle or for liability to a third part for damage, will be debited to the credit or charge card. This may occur after the rental vehicle has been returned and separately from the debiting of rental charges to the credit or charge card. Normally, the full amount of the Accident Damages Excess (ADE) will be debited to the card and any part of the ADE not required to pay for the damage, (once it has been assessed) or meet liability to a third part will be refunded subsequently.

Your Full Responsibility
The customer will be responsible for additional damages. This includes damages resulting from:

  1. Damages resulting from water damage;
  2. Damages resulting from partial or total immersion in water, where that results from YOUR negligence, recklessness or carelessness;
  3. Damages caused deliberately, recklessly, negligently or carelessly (full repair costs); and
  4. Damages including the cost of repair to the body and/or undercarriage of the vehicle caused by objects overhanging or otherwise obstructing the path of the vehicle (full repair costs).

When taking the vehicle into the following areas, CDW is negated. Therefore SouthWest CAR HIRE do not encourage vehicles to be driven/taken to/in these areas as the renter has full responsibility for all damage costs. These areas include:

  1. Unsealed roads other than roads under construction.
