1. Rental Terms and Conditions
When you rent a vehicle from Spotto Car Rentals, please be aware that our standard terms and conditions apply. These terms and conditions are in place at all times. Our rates are inclusive of GST (Goods and Services Tax) and insurance, and vehicle availability is subject to change. Please note that despite the inclusion of insurance, an excess will be charged in case of any vehicle damage. Insurance coverage is applicable within New South Wales (NSW) unless prior clearance is obtained before the rental. If you prefer to use your own insurance, we offer rate reductions; kindly inquire for more details. Additionally, all our rates include breakdown recovery services.
