Ron, thanks for the link, it's great reading...
Well,
well! We finally get to see the actual Driver Behaviour Report for the Israeli tourists who posted here! No wonder he/she didn't share it here, LOL.
Interesting that this outfit allows people to drive up to the speed limit on sealed roads. Britz limits their vehicles to 110 kmh. During my recent trip, I got passed a lot on the highway, LOL.
Britz 110 kmh speed limit, May 2018
This outfit may be aggressive in enforcement. But a careful reading of this article simply reinforces my view: The hirers couldn't be bothered to read the T&C. Or if they did read it, didn't take it seriously.
I suspect many of the customers who are complaining, would have lost part or all of their bond if they had instead hired from Britz, Apollo, etc. Because most of this outfit's rules are standard across the industry. As is the GPS tracking.
The thread is now deleted, but in the past I had mentioned this outfit and their T&C. Which I read in full before I even considered a booking. I'm tentatively planning another outback trip next year, and looking at an Apollo vehicle. I've printed out their T&C, so I can read it carefully and highlight anything of interest.
I'm supposed to feel sorry for someone who got a bill after bogging their hire vehicle below the tide line?! (Also, what "gazetted road" runs below the tide line?)
All JMHO, from another overseas visitor... ;-)
