Camperman Head Office offers a 7 Day a Week Australia Wide Help and Information Service. Please call TOLL FREE on 1800 216 223 for on-road service. Any problems associated with the vehicle, including equipment failure, must be reported to Camperman as soon as possible and within 24 hours in order to give Camperman the opportunity to rectify the problem during the rental period. Failure to do so will compromise any claims for compensation. We do not accept liability for any claims submitted after this period. If Camperman is either not contacted or you do not allow Camperman the opportunity to rectify the problem during the rental period you agree that the problem is of such a minor nature that you make no claim for loss of time in respect of the rental period. You also agree that Camperman is not responsible for any claims made by you after the return of the Vehicle. Note: It can often be difficult to carry out repairs during weekends and holiday periods and/or in remote areas due to limited opening times and/or spare parts and Camperman will not provide refunds due to delays in obtaining parts for repairs.
