If you change your booking date, we will only honour booking deposits for a period of 12 months from receipt after which time the booking deposit is forfeited. Security Deposit The £750 security deposit is refundable on safe return of the camper, in the condition in which it left our premises subject to an inspection satisfactory to us. This must be paid to cover the possibility of damage (whether negligent, wilful, accidental or otherwise) or loss to the campervan or the fixtures and fittings therein or the living equipment and windows, wheels, tyres etc included with the campervan. The campervan and all its equipment must be returned in good condition, with no damage to it, its contents or any third party property. The campervan must be returned with a full fuel tank.

You irrevocably authorise us to deduct from the Security Deposit any amounts due to us arising out of this Agreement. If we are not holding your card information, then you agree irrevocably to pay all charges upon request. In the event that there is a claim we reserve the right to retain the security deposit for such long a period as is necessary to quantify the charges incurred which are to be deducted from the deposit. The £750 security deposit will be used towards funding any loss or damage whatsoever to the campervan, equipment, fixtures and fittings as well as payment for the insurance excess. Where the security deposit is insufficient to cover the costs, you will pay any additional amounts due. These will be invoiced as appropriate and you authorise us to deduct any sums due from your card in respect of such amount. Where charges are incurred which result in your security deposit being debited we will provide you with an itemised invoice detailing the charges incurred by you. Your signature below gives us permission to deduct all charges from your card within 7 days of the issue of an invoice. If we are not holding your card information then you agree to pay all charges upon presentation of the invoice.
