18. Diesel Road User Charge Recovery Fee
For all Petrol vehicles NZ Government Road Tax is paid as part of the fuel charge at the pump when you buy fuel at the petrol station. For all Diesel vehicles the NZ Government Road Tax (Diesel Road User Charge) is paid on the distance travelled and is pre-paid based on each vehicle mileage recording. For this reason the price of diesel is approximately 35% cheaper than petrol in NZ.
For Abuzzy Standard and Reduction 1 Insurance options the Diesel Road User Charge Recovery Fee will be calculated and collected on return of the vehicle based on the following.



 

Vehicle Type	Diesel Road User Charge Recovery Fee
- Abuzzy 2 Berth Grand Motorhome - Abuzzy 2 Berth Ultimate Motorhome - Abuzzy 3 Berth Grand Motorhome - Abuzzy 4 Berth Deluxe Motorhome - Abuzzy 5 Berth Deluxe Motorhome	NZ$4.70/100km travelled

Note:
For Abuzzy Reduction 2 Insurance option the Diesel Road User Charge Recovery Fee is paid for by Abuzzy and not passed onto the customer.

It is typically cheaper for customers to use diesel vehicles even after paying the Road User Charge, as diesel vehicles are typically more fuel efficient than petrol vehicles.
For example a typical 1 week rental may cover 1,000km for which the Diesel Road User Charge Recovery Fee would be NZ$47 for an Abuzzy 2 to 5 berth Motorhome.

There are no other charges for mileage.

19. Rights
Abuzzy reserves the right to vary rates, conditions and specification without notice. Abuzzy also reserves the right to refuse hire to any person. All rental agreements are subject to the standard terms and conditions of the agreements supplement as above.

Amendments
Please note that some suppliers treat an amendment as a new booking and apply the rate current at the time the amendment is made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days changed). If the rental period is increased, an additional deposit may be required. If the rental period is shortened which results in a reduction of the rental charges, the deposit amount will remain unchanged, and the difference between the original and revised deposit is forfeited (it cannot be used towards remaining rental charges).
