reservation amount plus any other costs incurred by us in connection with your

No deposit is required when booking a flexible rate online during free
cancellation period (ie. any booking that does not require payment at time of
booking). Rates that contain restrictions must be paid at the time of making the
reservation on a Wenzel Motels website. Please refer to individual rate terms
prior to confirming your reservation.

Payments
A valid credit card MUST be presented on check-in to the motel.
Payments may be made by credit card (as indicated for online bookings or as
indicated as being accepted at the relevant motel) or by cash or EFTPOS at the
relevant motel.

If you are settling your account over NZD 500.00 by credit card in our motels,
please note that for Visa Card, Mastercard, 3% credit card transaction fee will
apply. You may choose to change the method of payment to prepaid via bank
transfer, as these methods of payment do not attract this fee.
You agree to pay interim accounts when presented even though you may not
have departed from our motel.
You agree that any charges for services to you, not billed at the time of your
departure, may be added to your account for settlement as arranged or may be
charged to the same credit card used to pay the account at the time or to the
credit card used to guarantee payment of your account.
Upon arrival at your selected property guests must provide valid Federal or State
government issued photographic identification for security purposes. In addition,
the Guest must also provide a credit card in the name of the photographic ID to
secure the accommodation. A Credit Card pre-authorisation of up to $300 is
required to cover incidental items including (but not limited to): mini bar,
telephone calls, breakages/damages, excessive cleaning charges above the
normal level of cleaning due to the room being left in an unacceptable state, etc.
The pre-authorised amount is set aside by the credit card company for a period
of up to 10 working days (release times may vary, please check with the issuing
financial institution). The pre-authorisation will affect your available funds
balance or spending limit. For more information on this practice, we suggest the
cardholder contact their issuer. Once a pre-authorisation has been made, we
cannot release, remove, or lower the authorised amount, until we process the
final account on departure. This is a restriction placed on us by the bank and
cannot be negotiated. Wenzel Motels reserve the right to pre-authorise all credit
cards within 2 days of arrival. Please note this process validates the presented
credit card and protects both the cardholder and merchant from increasing fraud
incidents.
