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.
