To insure the motorhome for the duration of your hire we ask that a security bond be paid to safeguard against any damage to the motorhomes. The security bond is payable on the day of collection.

The mandatory security bond for a UK stay hire is £1,200. This increases to £1,500 if you’re leaving the UK. This is typically pre-authorised on a credit card. The money does not leave your account but will be ring fenced by your bank. If you pay using a debit card, the money will be physically taken and held securely on our booking system. Provided the motorhome is returned in the same state it was when it left, you will receive your full deposit back. Unless a deduction, as per terms and conditions, needs to be made, we aim to return/release the deposit within 10 working days.
