FAQs
What is covered by your roadside assistance?
All vehicles are covered by 24-hour roadside assistance for all mechanical faults with the vehicle.
Free Roadside Assistance does not cover non-mechanical defects and driver errors, such as lost keys, keys locked in the vehicle, flat battery due to lights being left on, etc. These instances will incur a $180 fee per call-out.
However, all costs are waived if the customer avails of the $5.50 per day Roadside Assistance package.
What does Standard Liability Protection Cover?
All Alpha vehicles which are rented have comprehensive insurance with a standard liability that is applicable to renters that may be reduced with one of Alpha’s waiver options. For passenger vehicles (hatchbacks, sedans, family cars, SUVs, 8-seater vans and Utes) the standard liability is $5,000 for drivers over 21 years of age. For more information on our Standard Liability Protection Cover visit our Terms & Conditions.
What are the exclusions to liability waivers?
The following are not covered by the Total Protection Liability Waiver, Premium Protection Liability Waiver, or the Collision Damage Liability Waiver:
- Reversing damage
- Overhead damage
- Undercarriage damage
- Water damage
- Hail damage
- Negligence or Abuse
Please note that you will not have the benefit of Alpha’s insurance if the rental vehicle is driven on unsealed roads.
Do you offer commercial hire terms?
If you run a business with ongoing transportation needs, you know as well as anyone that handling maintenance, inventory and financing can be both an expense and a hassle. If you need to supplement your fleet for a short-term or longer term, our friendly team will happily provide a quote.
Do you offer long term hire?
What's the difference between a Compact SUV and a Regular SUV?
Compact SUVs are typically smaller and lighter than regular SUVs, offering more fuel efficiency and a tighter turning radius. Their smaller size makes them easier to park and maneuver, making them better suited for city and suburban areas.
Regular SUVs are usually bigger, heavier, and more powerful, making them better suited for off-road and highway driving. They provide more cargo space and passenger room and typically have all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive capabilities.
How fuel-efficient is a Compact SUV?
Generally speaking, compact SUVs are the most fuel-efficient among other types of SUVs. This is because they are typically smaller and lighter than other subtypes of SUVs, which makes them more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient. Fuel efficiency can also depend on the driving habits of the user, the road conditions and the amount of shared traffic within roadways.
