Options & Insurance for
Vans & Camper Vans Rental

Options for your van & campervan rental

Additional Driver

If you are travelling with other people you might want to share the driving of your rental vehicle. All our prices are quoted for just one person being the main driver of the vehicle. There are different options for adding an additional driver to your booking and you can do this when booking online by selecting from the drop-down under ‘Additional Driver’ in the ‘Options’ section of the booking.

Additional Drivers will cost £15 per day (incl. VAT), if they are of a different age bracket to the main driver then they may not be able to drive the vehicle you have selected. Only the age ranges able to drive the vehicle you have selected will be available in the drop-down menu. If the age bracket you require isn’t showing then you will need to choose a different vehicle. You can see here which vehicle types have restrictions.

Enhanced Collision Damage Waiver (eCDW)

If you are 25 years and over and want to reduce the amount of excess you are liable for should you be in an accident or the vehicle is stolen, you can do so by adding our eCDW as an option to your booking. This will reduce your excess to £500 from the standard £1,000 on vans.

Travel Abroad

If you are planning to take your rental vehicle abroad there will be an additional fee of £25 per day. This is to cover the cost of the paperwork that we have to provide in order for you to be covered in Europe and also to ensure that we can get you and the vehicle back to the UK should anything happen. At this time we can only cover the vehicle if travelling within Europe. We cannot allow our vehicles to be driven anywhere outside of Europe.

Insurance

All of our retail prices are inclusive of VAT and collision damage waiver (CDW). Our collision damage waiver means that your standard excess will be:

25 years plus - £1,000 for vans

You can reduce the excess further if you are 25 years or over to £500 on van rental by choosing our Enhanced Collision Damage Waiver as an option in the booking process. This will cost an additional £10 a day.

Windscreen and Glass damage

These are covered, but you will be liable for the applicable excess.

Tyre wear

This is covered under fair wear and tear, anything outside of this you will be liable for the applicable excess.

Excess

Applicable excess to pay on any new damage that is on the vehicle when you bring it back. This could be your own fault or that of a third party (somebody else damages the rental car whilst in your care). If the damage is less than your applicable excess you will just be charged for the cost of the repair, not the full excess.
