Terms and Conditions (as on our Rental Agreement)

Charges and Payment

1. Rental charges will continue until the vehicle is returned in a serviceable condition by the customer. In the event of a total loss, charges will continue until a settlement for the value of the vehicle is received.
2. All vehicles are provided with a full tank of fuel. Any cost of refuelling the vehicle upon termination of rental will be charged to the customer. This will include fuel used between the collection point and the nearest refuelling depot.
3. Parking charges for any traffic violations and clamping fees will be settled directly by the customer with the appropriate traffic authority in accordance with the terms of the rental agreement. If for any reason Morecambe Motorhome Hire is required to settle these charges, they will be charged to the customer, together with an administration fee.
4. Rental charges will include breakdown cover in mainland UK. In the event that the vehicle remains immobile, a replacement vehicle will be provided, or alternative arrangements agreed with the driver. Morecambe Motorhome Hire will not be responsible for any consequential losses incurred by the customer as a result of such breakdown.

Delivery and Collection

1. Delivery and collection is a service provided by Morecambe Motorhome Hire in additional to the rental of the vehicle and must be requested by the customer and accepted by Morecambe Motorhome Hire. Depending on the delivery and collection place, this service may be provided free of charge, other than any fuel costs from and to Morecambe Motorhome Hire base.
2. Morecambe Motorhome Hire will attempt to deliver the Motorhome as close to the normal pickup time (2pm) as is possible.
3. The Motorhome will be collected from the same place as the delivery, unless by prior arrangement.
4. If having agreed a specific time and place for collection, the Motorhome is not available, Morecambe Motorhome Hire may levy a charge for abortive collection and the vehicle will remain on rent and subject to the customer’s insurance cover until such time as it is collected and returned to the rental location.

Unattended Returns

1. Where a Motorhome is returned to Morecambe Motorhome Hire out of hours, the vehicle will remain on rent until Morecambe Motorhome Hire re-opens and the Motorhome is inspected.

Rental Duration

1. Motorhomes are normally rented on a weekly rate according to the agreed charge. Alternative durations may be agreed with Morecambe Motorhome Hire, hourly rates, extra or less days. In any event, the duration of rental and consequences of extension will be agreed by the parties in advance of rental. Morecambe Motorhome Hire will only accept an extension of the rental if specifically agreed by the parties and in the manner agreed and assuming availability.
2. The maximum period for which you are allowed to keep the Motorhome under this agreement is from the Date and Time Out to the Date and Time Due Back. However, Morecambe Motorhome Hire will consider a request to extend the rental period where such request is received prior to the termination of the agreed rental period. In the event that such notice is not received, Morecambe Motorhome Hire may exercise its right to terminate the rental agreement and use such means as it chooses to recover the Motorhome or request its return.
3. Morecambe Motorhome Hire may, upon reasonable notice, request the return of the vehicle for any necessary servicing or return to the supplier, subject to the supply of an alternative equivalent Motorhome.

Vehicle Condition

1. The condition of the Motorhome at the commencement of rental will be agreed with the customer. In the event that a customer takes unattended delivery of a Motorhome, Morecambe Motorhome Hire will not accept responsibility for any damage not recorded as damage out, unless the customer informs Morecambe Motorhome Hire of any additional damage before driving the vehicle, or within one hour of the normal opening hours of Morecambe Motorhome Hire.
2. Morecambe Motorhome Hire requires the vehicle to be returned, normal wear and tear excepted, in the same condition as when rented to the customer. If special cleaning is required for whatever reason, Morecambe Motorhome Hire will make a separate charge to cover any cleaning and/or repair work required.
3. Morecambe Motorhome Hire will ensure that all vehicles supplied are cleaned and prepared to the highest standards. Details of the pre-rental condition will be provided with each Motorhome, which will have been thoroughly checked and maintained to the manufacturers required standards.

Personal Property

1. Morecambe Motorhome Hire accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to the customer’s personal property left in the vehicle, other than any loss resulting from any negligence on the part of Morecambe Motorhome Hire. The customer will ensure that the vehicle is checked for any personal items of property prior to its return.

Insurance

1. Morecambe Motorhome Hire will provide insurance cover and, as a matter of course will inspect the driving licence of every driver prior to the commencement of every rental. Morecambe Motorhome Hire may decline to authorise any driver whose experience, age or driving record does not satisfy its insurance underwriting requirements.
2. Only authorised drivers (the person(s) who signed the agreement) will be insured to drive the Motorhome. In the event that the Motorhome is involved in an incident, when an unauthorised person has custody or control of the vehicle, Morecambe Motorhome Hire will hold the customer responsible for any losses it incurs.
3. Our insurance will NOT give you complete cover. The amount for which you are not covered is called the Excess.
