Show all Answers

What are the licence requirements to hire a USave vehicle?

All drivers must be 20 years and over and hold a full licence. 2 — 3 ton trucks (typically 11 — 16m3 capacity) can be driven on a Class 1 car licence providing the gross weight does not excess 4500kg. Outside these criteria a Class 2 (heavy traffic) licence is required.

No, there is no charge for additional drivers and we prefer our customers to have the option to share the driving.

What is the cost of the Collision Damage Reduction insurance (CDR) option and is it recommended?

Third party insurance is not compulsory in New Zealand so we recommend the Collision Damage Reduction option for additional peace of mind. The CDR is NZ$15.00 per day and reduces the insurance excess (deductible) liability from NZ$1500.00 plus GST to NZ$500.00 plus GST.
