G'day Motherhen
I see where your heading with access to
campsite... there used to be at all the Britz office's a couple of photo's of damaged vehicles and text on the wall behind the counter explaining to the customer the need for further increased insurance cover.
I am aware that most customers were known to take this out, on the exchange rate it converted to a reasonable rate. With this extra cover it gave the customer another vehicle in the event of accident or
breakdown, that's why Britz staff were found running all over the country delivering vehicles to stranded customers, this is also why a couple of major hire companies are out of the 4wd hire vehicle market.
I haven't read the terms of hire contracts, but in general, 4wd's can travel on unsealed roads, standard vehicles to sealed roads, unless otherwise stated.
The guy's on the ferry on the
Daintree were known to keep an eye out and let the hire companies know which vehicles travelled on the ferry, as the hire companies were suffering very expensive repair bills on their fleet.
But it doesn't matter whether I've been on the Plenty, Tanami, GRR, Mereenie,
Oodnadatta or Telegraph, you still see all sorts of these hire vehicles running around.
Seeming that I live a sheltered life, just a mushroom, nope hadn't heard that 'Fritz from Britz' ...but damm I wish I thought of it, but I am just a funguy...
Cheers Mother
