Typical events in Queensland can be cyclones, flash flooding or bush fires and for this reason, we highly recommend travel insurance.
Guests are responsible for any damages that occur while on tour as a result of negligence. This includes at the campsite or if you are staying at Nomads Noosa or when driving.
All drivers complete a car hire rental agreement and this comes with a base level of insurance. This provides base level cover for damage to the Island 4×4 Hire Pty Ltd vehicles (ie. any damage to the vehicle that you are hiring) and associated towing, recovery and assessment charges. This does not include damage to any other third party vehicles or other property. This means that if the damage to the Island 4×4 Hire Pty Ltd vehicle that you are driving is below the base level, you are covered; but if the damage is above you are liable for any additional costs. There is an option to pay additional insurance of either $50 or $100 on the day of departure and this increases your base level cover from $1,500 to $4,000 or $8,000 respectively.
Bags are stored free of charge either in Noosa or in Rainbow Beach. We do not take responsibility and will not compensate for any loss or damage of your personal property whilst in storage or when on tour.
The guide can remove a guest(s) from the tour for any behaviour deemed unruly.
