Booking information
To make a booking you must complete our booking form which is easy to follow and secured with the latest encryption technology. Once we receive your form, we will, subject to availability, confirm your booking by emailing you a confirmation voucher and invoice. The deposit required to secure your vehicle (as shown on the secure booking page) will only be processed on your credit card when your booking is confirmed. Please note that a 1.75% credit card charge will be added when your payment is processed.
A booking is confirmed when you have been emailed a confirmation voucher and at this stage the deposit is processed on your card and becomes non-refundable and any cancellation fees stated in the supplier's terms apply. Upon receipt of your confirmation, please check your details carefully and notify us immediately if there are any incorrect details, as it may not be possible to make changes at a later date.
If you are booking via phone, please make sure you have read the terms and conditions of the vehicle you wish to rent first. Our reservations consultant will ask you if you have read the terms and agree to them before proceeding. The onus is always on the renter to ensure they make themselves fully aware of the terms displayed on our website.
Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide the requested rental services.
Amendments
Please note that some suppliers treat an amendment as a new booking and apply the rate current at the time the amendment is made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days changed). If the rental period is increased, an additional deposit may be required. If the rental period is shortened which results in a reduction of the rental charges, the deposit amount will remain unchanged, and the difference between the original and revised deposit is forfeited (it cannot be used towards remaining rental charges). To request a change to a confirmed booking, please use the alterations request link on your confirmation. Any alterations are subject to availability and the approval of the supplier. In addition to the alteration policy of the supplier stated in their terms, the following charges will apply:
Motorhome rental alterations (all charges stated in local currency):
To change dates or times that result in a recalculation of rental rates, or to change vehicles or locations: 75.00
To add or remove extras to/from confirmed booking: 20.00
The alteration fee will not be charged if your alteration request is not possible.
Vehicle Capacity and fitness to drive
Under no circumstances are you permitted to carry more passengers than the vehicle you rent is legally registered to carry, and if you do your insurance may be invalidated. The number of seatbelts (and passengers) is indicated next to each vehicle on this website. Luggage capacity where shown is an indication only and we will not be responsible should you be unable to fit your entire luggage into a vehicle. It is your responsibility to choose a journey that is within your capabilities. A vehicle supplier can refuse to rent a vehicle to any person who is in their opinion unfit to drive or does not meet eligibility requirements. In such circumstances we will have no further liability to you.
Refund Policy
We are committed to providing a quality service and aim for complete customer satisfaction. In the event of cancellation, any refunds or penalties are detailed in the terms and conditions of your selected vehicle that you are asked to read and accept at time of booking. In the event you are unsatisfied with our service, please contact us within 48 hours of placing your booking or request and we will work to resolve any issues and determine if compensation is due. In the event you have completed your rental and are unhappy with your vehicle, we are happy to assist you in seeking compensation from the operator of the vehicle.

Restricted only to accidents which occur on roads, provided the road is a public highway. All accidents must be police reported and include a file number for that report. CDW does not cover any accidents which occur off public highways: in campgrounds, gas stations, shopping malls, etc. Any damage suspected to be over $1,000 must be accompanied by a police report, completed by the officer at the scene. All pertinent information relating to the accident must be included in the report (i.e. license numbers, vehicles, etc.) VIP CDW Coverage offers protection against mechanical breakdown which requires more than 12 hours to repair. Incurred expenses of up to $120.00 per rental vehicle for lodging will be reimbursed if receipts are presented. VIP excludes liability and personal property, non accidental damages and interior damage. Malfunctions to radios, air conditioning, fridge, water heater, cruise control, microwave, furnace, generator, TV/DVD/VCR and all other convenience devices are not considered mechanical breakdowns.
Security Deposits
A valid credit card must be provided at rental check out. If a client purchases VIP Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), a minimum security deposit of $1000 for Class C , and $2,000 for Class A and B rentals will be charged to their credit card account at pick-up. For all rentals, a signed open credit card authorization will be taken at departure for the purpose of recovering additional rental expenses and any damage or accidents which are not covered by CDW. [Note: If groups are renting to attend events such as football games, car races, festivals, etc., security deposits may be required from all occupants of each rental vehicle.] If clients do wish to purchase VIP CDW, and wish to provide their own coverage, they must present a written approval from their insurer, in a form acceptable to the Supplier, stating their coverage for motorhome rentals is not capped at a rate lower than the current value of the rented unit at the time of booking which must be at least five days (not including weekends and legal holidays) before vehicle pick-up. At the Supplier’s sole discretion, if all requirements are met, a minimum security deposit of $5,000.00 will be charged to client’s credit card account at pick-up.
Travel Insurance
The Supplier strongly recommend that clients ensure they take out the highest level of travel insurance. In many cases this will cover any losses incurred if you are forced to cancel you booking.
