The insurance coverage pertains only to the vehicle hire. Damage to any accessories hired will be the liability of the hirer.
Touchdown Car Rentals takes no responsibility for damage caused to any equipment that is mounted to roof racks on our vehicles. It is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure skis and any other equipment are safe and secure.
Please do not leave any of our convertible hire vehicles unattended in the Arthur’s Pass National Park area. Local birds called Keas will likely damage the soft top of the vehicle and this damage will not be covered by your rental insurance.
