The Peace of Mind Policy DOES cover:
- In the event of a flat or punctured tyre, the Peace of Mind policy will cover the cost incurred by NZRA service providers needing to either change the damaged tyre with the vehicles spare tyre or indeed replacing the damaged tyre with a new tyre.
- In the event of a mechanical breakdown, the Peace of Mind policy will cover the cost of providing alternative accommodation up to the value of the daily rate you have paid for the motorhome. Mighway will provide you with the closest available suitable accommodation. While you may choose to not accept the accommodation offered by Mighway, Mighway is not obliged to pay or reimburse you for accommodation you have sourced or identified yourself.
- In the event of a mechanical breakdown, Mighway will cover the costs of providing alternative transportation up to the value of the daily rate you have paid for your motorhome. Whilst Mighway will endeavour to find you a replacement motorhome of a similar nature to that which you have rented, during peak hire periods this may not always be possible in which case Mighway will either offer you an alternative motorhome or an alternative form of transportation up the value of the daily rate you have paid for your motorhome. You may choose to not accept the alternative transportation offered by Mighway, in which case Mighway will agree to terminate your rental agreement and immediately refund to you the value of the remaining days of the rental agreement.
Important Information
New Zealand legislation provides limited coverage for personal injury. This policy does not provide any liability for personal injuries sustained during the Rental, nor for any loss or damage to any personal belongings or property of the Guest (or any person or entity related to the Guest). We also have no liability for any costs or losses sustained by a Guest as a result of any disruption or changes to travel plans required or arising out of your rental of a Vehicle (including because of any breakdown of a Vehicle). Mighway and Star Underwriting Agents strongly recommend that you take out personal travel insurance to cover any injury, loss and disruption to travel plans.

All statements made by you or on your behalf on any of these forms or otherwise in support of this policy or any claim must be complete and correct in all respects. If any claim under this policy is supported by any incorrect information or statement all benefits will be forfeited.
