N.B If you return the Motorhome when it is dark, we will be unable to do an outside check. This has to be done in daylight.
How long should I allow for the handover at the beginning of my holiday?

How does the insurance work?
Our motorhomes carry comprehensive motor insurance for the UK mainland which can be extended to Western Europe, this is to cover damage to the vehicle or to third parties. If there is damage to the motorhome and the accident was your fault, your liability is the first £1,000, in the case of damage caused due to the third party we will retain the excess until it is agreed it is the other parties fault (unfortunately many people say it wasn't their fault and it turns out to be their responsibility once the facts are checked). For overhead damage (e.g. from trees) you are liable for the first £1,000. For write off or theft you are liable for the first £1,000. Please note acts of negligence or abuse are completely your responsibility. Insurance excess may vary according to your driving history, we will confirm at the time of booking.
Why do I have to pay a £1000 damage deposit?
This is the insurance excess and damage deposit during the hire and is fully returnable, within 48 hours after your holiday as long as the motorhome is returned undamaged, reasonably clean with the waste and toilet empty. This deposit can be charged to your credit card if required but will be subject to a 2% surcharge.
