I’ve heard that old VW vans are tricky to drive. Is this true?

All our vans were built in the 1970’s, a time when the pace of life was much slower and vehicles were less advanced. VW campers will take a bit of getting used to as there is no power steering, no assisted brakes and a lot of movement in the gearshift. This does add to the character of the van and makes driving a pleasurable challenge.

How old do I have to be to hire a camper?

All drivers must be aged between 25 and 70 and have held a driving licence for at least 3 years.

Is insurance included in the hire charge?

Yes each hire includes fully comprehensive insurance for all named drivers as well as AA breakdown cover.

Can I hire a camper if I have points or other minor endorsements/convictions on my driving licence?

We would prefer a clean driving licence however we appreciate people do have points. Although this may not prohibit you from hiring one of our vehicles please inform us of ANY endorsements/convictions/accidents so that we can check with our insurance company. Please note this may incur an extra cost if accepted.

I have a non– UK driving license, can I still drive a camper?

We accept most EU driving licences, please contact us for further enquiry.

Are personal belongings covered by the insurance?

No, the insurance provided does not cover you for loss, damage or theft of possessions. You will need to take your own holiday/ travel insurance to cover this.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

More than 4 weeks before rental start date: you will lose your booking deposit.

Within 4 weeks of the rental start date: 100% of the total hire charge will be payable. Please refer to terms and conditions.

Please ensure you have your own holiday insurance in place to cover the costs if for any reason you have to cancel your reservation.
