The hire rate quoted includes a standard excess of £1500.00 per accident, reported incident or Vehicle theft.

Should the insurer accept the claim and agrees to reimburse Tripz.uk for the cost of the Vehicle, the liability to the hirer will reduce to the first £1500.00 of the claim (excess). Please note: if the keys are not returned to Tripz.uk, the insurer will not accept the claim and liability for the full cost of the Vehicle will remain with the hirer.

Only persons named on the Rental Agreement are insured to drive the Vehicle. Please note that no insurance cover (including CDW) is offered for Overhead Damage, any damaged deemed as gross negligence, or any internal damages, therefore the hirer accepts fully liability for these which is in addition to the standard Vehicle excess should that apply.

Windscreens and /or tyre damage is not covered by the standard Vehicle insurance and therefore excess, however Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) does cover these items, (conditions apply), please see section 25, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for further details.

Tripz.uk will be responsible should damage to personal possessions or bodily injury occur (including death) as a result of proven gross negligence on Tripz.uk’s part i.e. our actions or failure to act. Tripz.uk will not be responsible for any loss which is a side effect of the main loss e.g., loss of profits or opportunity. This is separate from the Vehicle insurance provided.

25. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)

Collision Damage Waiver at £25.00 per night will reduce the £1500.00 excess for damage caused due to a Road Traffic Accident (RTA) or collision (i.e. reported accident) to either the Vehicle or third party property to £250. It will also cover the cost of replacement tyres or windscreen. However, it will not cover any damage to the Vehicle or third party property caused through a reversing manoeuvre, any damage deemed as malicious i.e. Vehicle break in or vandalism, cover the replacement or repair of windows, or cover the theft of the Vehicle.

No insurance cover is offered for Overhead Damage, any damaged deemed as gross negligence or any internal damages therefore full liability will apply. This applies in respect of the first incident and / or claim, not the entire duration of the rental. Once an accident has occurred CDW cannot be restarted and standard insurance terms will apply. The incident must be reported to Tripz.uk within 24 hours otherwise the CDW cover will not be applicable. Maximum charge term for CDW is 21 nights.

Should the Terms and Conditions not be adhered to, the CDW will be void and the Customer will be liable in full for all costs and damages. Please note that the CDW is completely optional and can be decided upon collection of your Vehicle. After the hire has commenced, CDW cannot be taken out. CDW cannot be offered to drivers over the age of 70.

Pet Policy

We know how important it is to you that we allow furry friends into our Motorhomes, that’s why we do!

We want you to enjoy adventures together, providing of course you and your pet abide by our house rules outlined here and, in our terms and conditions, to which you must agree.

  • You agree your Pet will not be left in the Motorhome unattended.
  • You will not allow your pet on any of the soft furnishings or upholstery (including the beds, seats / sofas)
  • You will return our Motorhome in a clean and tidy condition as if your pet was never present.
  • You agree if you return our Motorhome unclean/untidy, if it is evident your pet was present, and if any pet hairs are found, cleaning charges and upholstery cleaning charges will apply. The minimum charge for this is £100.00
  • You agree to cover the cost of all damage caused by a pet, even if it exceeds the Security Deposit (as outlined in section 13 of our terms and conditions)
