STANDARD INSURANCE EXCESS

The standard insurance excess on all of our hires is £1250. This will increase to £1500 if:

You hold a driving licence from outside of the UK.
You are travelling outside of the UK.
You are under 25 or over 75
You have had 2 or more motoring accidents in the last 3 years
You are planning a journey with 3 drivers.

COLLISION DAMAGE WAIVER (CDW)

The standard insurance excess can be reduced to £0 in the event of a collision by taking out Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). Standard CDW costs £19 a day. Minimum £95. Maximum £266. The increased excess CDW costs £23 a day. Minimum £161. Maximum £322.

This can be taking out any time up until the moment you leave us on the day of departure. If you take out CDW, we will only need a security bond of £500.

Collision Damage Waiver does not cover negligence. Examples of negligence are:

Overhead Damage – for example if you drive into a low bridge or underground car park
Damage through smoking in the motorhome
Breakages to expensive fixtures and fittings in the motorhome
Putting the wrong fuel in the motorhome
Putting diesel in the water tank

We also recommend that you do not put anything hard, sharp or heavy in the overhead lockers above the dinette seats as something could fall out – not only is this dangerous to anyone sitting underneath, but it could also damage the table or window and these are not covered by Collision Damage Waiver.

Collision Damage Waiver does not cover theft. We recommend you take out your own Travel Insurance to cover this.

Security Bond

We require a security bond of £1250 (or £1500 when your insurance excess is higher) for while you are away. If you take out CDW the security bond reduces to £500. The security bond is taken as a pre-authorised transaction taken on the day of departure and must be on a debit/credit card. The money is held on your account and automatically released by your bank 5-10 working days after the return of your motorhome. There will be a charge to your security bond if:

There is damage to the motorhome unprotected by CDW
You are late back returning the motorhome
You smoke in the motorhome
You take a pet in a pet free motorhome
We receive a breakdown charge that is not caused by a breakdown eg. getting stuck in the mud
You leave the motorhome unattended overnight at our premises in Oving

We hope everyone enjoys their holiday without incurring any charges and it is very rare that we need to make any charge to the security bond.
