All departures and itineraries are subject to weather. Tours may be changed or cancelled for any reason at the discretion of the Tour Operator. It should be noted that adventure travel involves risk. Whilst we make every effort to safeguard clients, we cannot be responsible for personal injury or loss due to actions of our clients which are beyond our control. We recommend that all clients have travel insurance covering illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings and not being able to travel on the confirmed date of departure. Please be aware operators pass on credit card merchant fees so there is a non-refundable 2.5% surcharge for VISA and MASTERCARD card purchases.
Insurance waiver options
We require a AU$500 credit card imprint as bond, which is not banked unless the car is not returned satisfactorily.
All Aussie Trax 4x4s are fully insured, except in the following situations:
- Driving Under the Influence
- Overloading (more people than the car is allowed to carry)
- Driving in the Ocean
- Under Body Damage
- Intentional Damage (sitting on the bonnet or roof
- Staff cover these issues in more depth during the briefing.
Customers may take the waiver option, which can reduce their liability. This is non-refundable and is purely a personal insurance option. It is not compulsory.
In group situations (usually backpackers who don't know each other) there is a form that everybody signs to ensure every person is jointly liable for the car not just the credit card holder, if the vehicle was damaged.
Cancellations
All client cancellations forfeit 25% of total ticket price and all client cancellations made less than 21 days prior to departure will result in complete forfeiture of the full price of the tour or package. If the tour operator has to cancel the trip or activity (prior to the departure) and we cannot offer a suitable alternative, then a refund will be given minus card fees. We strongly recommend that you have travel insurance. Refunds do not apply to hires cut short due to: Bad weather, Shortening of the rental period by the hirer - unless it can be re-hired for that same period, cars taken from the hirer due to misuse in contravention to Aussie Trax's or other authorised persons' directions.
