Insurance
Fully comprehensive insurance for 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 damage deposit is payable at commencement of hire. A £1,000 deposit may be required if the hire is for attending a sports event or music festival. If the vehicle is returned in good condition, whole and undamaged, with clean interior and no other excesses to be charged, the deposit will be refunded within 7 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. Front and rear bumpers, overcab mouldings, roof lights, windows, wing mirrors and external doors are typical components prone to damage by negligence. A charge of £60 will be made for unemptied chemical toilet tanks.
Hirers travelling abroad will require a minimum of continental comprehensive insurance, and 5 Star cover which will be supplied by Chester Van Centre Ltd at an additional cost to the hirer.

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. We reserve the right to cancel the booking before commencement of hire if the named drivers’ licences are invalid or do not comply with the information stated on the booking form. In this case you will forfeit the booking deposit and hire charges already paid.
