Drivers

Drivers must be over 25 and under 75 years of age, and have held a full driving licence for at least two years prior to the commencement of hire. Driver’s licence must be free of endorsements except for minor speeding or parking offences (drivers with more than 6 penalty points may be subject to an insurance loading). Licences must be produced at the time of vehicle collection. Visitors from abroad must produce a valid unendorsed domestic driving licence or international driving permit. The price covers one named driver; additional drivers may be added at an additional charge of £10.00 per driver per day (subject to any endorsements).

Insurance

Fully comprehensive insurance for the use in the UK is included within the hire charge. The insurance is only valid for the period of the hire, thus any late return would automatically constitute a traffic offence under the Road Traffic Act. Invalid insurance means the driver and main hirer become personally liable for any accident damage to the motorhome, third party property and third party personal injuries. Insurance cover is for the vehicle and equipment only. Personal possessions are not covered; hirers are advised to take out holiday insurance.

A £500.00 damage deposit/Bond is payable at commencement of hire, if the vehicle is returned in good condition, whole and undamaged, with a clean interior, hob, oven & empty chemical toilet tank and no other excesses to be charged, the deposit will be refunded within 3 days. Should the condition of the vehicle be otherwise; then repairs, replacements or cleaning costs will be charged against the deposit. If the hirer is found to have damaged the vehicle by negligence (i.e. no other person or vehicle is involved) the hirer will be responsible for full rectification costs which will be charged against the deposit. Front and rear bumpers, overcab mouldings, roof lights, windows, wing mirrors and external doors are typical components prone to damage by negligence. Failure to return the vehicle in a clean (particularly the cooker, oven & chemical toilet) condition will incur a £50.00 valeting charge & a charge of £50.00 will be made for unemptied chemical toilet tanks.

Reservations

To check availability, please use the contact page to enquire. At the time of reservation there will be a £100 deposit required. Please note full payment is required 3 months before the start of the hire period. If you hire the motorhome within 3 months of your departure date, then full payment will be required immediatley. Payments can be made via bank transfer or cheque.

Cancellations

Should the hirer cancel the booking the company will endeavour to re-hire the motorhome. If successful the amount paid will be refunded less an administration charge of £50.00. However if re-hire is not successful the hirer will be liable for the deposit and any hire charges already paid. Hirers are advised to obtain their own holiday insurance to safeguard against such eventualities. If the booking is cancelled before 3 months, the hirer will lose the deposit paid. If the booking is paid in full 3 months before the hire start, then there will be a refund on the hire charge, less the depoist. We reserve the right to cancel the booking before commencement of hire if the named driver’s licences are invalid or do not comply with the requirements in the terms and conditions. In this case you will forfeit the booking deposit and hire charges already paid.

Liabilities

We accept no liability for replacement vehicle costs, travel or accommodation costs or any other consequential loss claims arising from motorhome breakdown; fair wear and tear excepted accident or any other such related causes. All accidents and any damage (no matter how minor) to either the exterior or interior including tv/dvd etc must be reported immediately by telephone (number will be provided in motorhome). This will enable us to order parts etc so that the vehicle can be repaired upon your return for the next hirer. For motor accidents an accident report form must be completed at the termination of hire.

The hirer shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred for speeding, parking fines, congestion charges and for any other offences committed against the Road Traffic Act or traffic regulations.

The hirer is authorised to spend up to £100.00 on repairs, this will be repaid on submission of a valid receipt. For repairs costing more than £100.00, prior approval from Motorhome Hire Bolton must be obtained.
