We are excited to have you reading this agreement and useful document! This means you are one step closer to renting one of our super campervans.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I travel? 

Kent is beautiful and from Folkestone you can go towards Dover, Deal and Margate or the other way to Camber, Rye and Hastings. If you want countryside the downs have plenty of options too. A mileage allowance of 100 miles per night is included (any extra and there is a charge of 30 pence per mile) 

Who can drive? 

Anyone in your party aged 23-75 and is named on the insurance document from Adrian Flux. The driver must have no more than six points from two offences or more than one fault accident in the last 3 years. (Licence and proof of address is required) see below. Please make sure you can meet this criteria before booking. 

Do I need to pay a deposit? 

Yes. We take a security deposit / Insurance excess of £600 (£800 aged 23-25) to cover any damage to the campervan or their contents whilst in your care.  This must be paid by bank transfer 1 week before your travel.

Where can I collect the Campervans? 

Pick up is from 87 Seabrook Road, Hythe, Kent, CT215QP

We’d recommend you bring your own bedding but we can provide a bedding pack for 2 persons for £20

Is Insurance Included? 

No insurance is NOT included. You must get it FULLY COMPREHENSIVE for the days required from Adrian Flux. They will run you through a full quote as if you bought the van but they are reasonable and knowledgeable and do daily insurance. We will need to check your ID and driver’s licence plus an excess deposit of £600 (£750 if aged 23-24) applies. (See document requirements below.)

Are they easy to drive? 

The classic Campers are simple to drive and just take a little getting used to (a full induction is given.) The classics just need treating with a little TLC and understanding that things take a little longer (like anything over 50 years old) but you soon get used to them.

Can I Bring My Dog? 

Small to medium dogs are okay yes. Blankets must be used on the seats to protect the material from scratches. 

Some Don’ts

• No smoking 
• No stressing the campers – please aim to return without having to rush.
• Avoid camping in spots that are ‘too wild’ and would be difficult to find incase of an emergency or breakdown.
• No festivals (they’re not designed for muddy fields or rocky roads.) 
• Avoid the steep passes. The classics do not cope with these driving conditions.
• Only those booked can travel/stay in the vehicles.

Some Do’s

• Enjoy the campsites or try some wild camping.
• Make full use of the facilities
• Return the camper with a Full Tank of Fuel
• Keep in touch and please tell us if anything is wrong before you return – so we can do our best to resolve it for you – and fix this before our next guest.
