What do I need to take a Loan Car?

A current valid Australian driver's license.

What do I pay if the car is damaged?

If the vehicle is damaged in any manner during the period of loan and if such damage is claimed from the Company's insurers, you will be responsible to pay the insurance excess of (and not limited to) $2500. This excess may be higher for drivers under 25 years of age.  If the total cost of repair amounts to less than the insurance excess amount, you will be responsible for the total repair amount.

 

You will be responsible to pay for the total cost of repair of damage to the vehicle occurring under the following circumstances;
  • Damage done in any areas off sealed roads.
  • Any undercarriage damages, other than that caused as a result of an accident on a sealed road.
  • Any damage to any part on the vehicle caused deliberately or recklessly by you or any other person during the loan period.
  • Damage to tyres, including punctures, and wheels other than normal wear except that caused in an accident.
  • Damage occurring to that part of the vehicle which is glass except that which occurred in an accident.
  • Damage to motor, suspension, chassis, differential, gear box, axles or any other part of the vehicle which is a result of misuse or abuse of the vehicle.
  • Any damage to the vehicle done outside allowed area of use.

What if I have an accident?

In the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle, you have the following obligations under this agreement; 

  • To contact Youngs Holden as soon as reasonably possible but within 24 hours of the accident. 
  • Not to abandon the vehicle unless specifically permitted to by Youngs Holden. 
  • To make your best effort to obtain the driver license number, name and address of other parties involved in the accident, and supply the information to Youngs Holden upon completion of the accident report form.

Breakdowns

All cars are covered by Holden's New Vehicle Warranty. This entitles our cars to free warranty repairs at any Holden Dealership. Additionally, all our cars have 24 hour Roadside Assistance.  

If the vehicle breaks down, you are to contact Roadside Assistance on 1800 817 100 as soon as reasonably possible. You are not to authorise any persons to carry out any repairs what-so-ever without prior approval from Youngs Holden. You have an obligation not to abandon the vehicle if it breaks down. Your responsibility for the vehicle is retained until Youngs Holden or their authorised agent (for example a tow-truck operator authorised by Youngs Holden) takes possession of the vehicle.

Youngs Holden cannot accept any responsibility for any loss or damage suffered by you as a result of delay caused by the break down of the vehicle.

If the vehicle is stolen

  • You had abandoned the vehicle without permission from Youngs Holden.
  • You left the vehicle unlocked or you left the vehicle with the keys in it.
In all of these cases, you will be liable for the total cost of the loss. Youngs Holden will not accept any responsibility for any loss of personal property from the vehicle.
