INSURANCE

The campervans all have comprehensive insurance for the first and any other named drivers if arranged. Insurance is only for our camper and equipment that belongs to the campervan. You are advised to take out your own personal effects and travel insurance. Camper King Ltd is not responsible for any damage in connection with any accident or breakdown, nor are we responsible for any loss from the vehicle. Our insurance policy protects us and any authorised driver against claims from any other person or death or personal injury or any other person’s property caused by use of the vehicle on the road on condition you report all such incidents to us during the hire period or on return of the van (and you are using the vehicle within the Terms and Conditions and those of our insurance company). In the event that any third party suffers death, personal injury or damage to property caused by use of the vehicle which involves breach by you or any authorised driver of any of the terms and conditions of this agreement and that of our insurance policy, you agree to reimburse us if we are obliged to compensate (a) the insurers for any payment they make to a third party on your behalf and/or (b) any third party.

INSURANCE

If an insurance claim is made, the hirer is responsible for a £500 excess which is due in each and every incident and includes loss or damage to equipment, fixtures and fittings or to third party property. The excess applies in respect of each claim, not rental. Any damage caused to the roof being left up, not secured correctly or struck due to failing to assess the height of the vehicle is the hirers responsibility. Damage caused to windscreens, windows, wheels, tyres, the underside, the interior of the van, towing charges (other than RAC where there are no charges from them), or when the vehicle is driven off road or without due care and attention, negligently or where the driver is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is the hirers responsibility.

DRIVERS’ LICENSE

Drivers must be over 25 years of age and under 70 in good health and hold a full driving license. We take ‘good health’ to mean that you have no mental or physical disabilities which would interfere with your ability to drive, for example, stroke/deafness/heart condition/diabetes/loss of limb/loss of sight in an eye/epilepsy. In addition you are taking no drugs likely to affect your driving. You will need to have held a UK driving license for at least a year or a European union License for at least 2 years. We will need to see both parts of your driving license and two other forms of ID for all those who intend to drive, before you take your campervan. You cannot drive away a van without us having sight of your licenses and ID documents. No exceptions can be made to this. The vehicle must only be driven by you or any other person who has first been authorised by us, for whom you have provided the insurance driving license and personal ID. You agree that you will not allow anyone to drive the vehicle including yourself???? who does not fulfil our minimum requirements regarding age, health and possession of a valid driving license, or, who is over-tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or any other legal or illegal substance impairing their consciousness or ability to react.

OUR OBLIGATIONS

Charges and costs for late return will be deducted from your security deposit. No refund is given for early return of the vehicle.
