Returning camper van, pick up/ drop off serviceAs we need time to inspect the vehicle and to prepare it for the next lessee/driver when you return it,
you are required to return the vehicle at the agreed time.
The start and end of the hire is at the collection point, unless otherwise agreed.
The return time of a vehicle is usually chosen by booking the returning date, as shown on the Lease
Agreement. A fee of 30 EUR per hour is charged for a late return.
No refund is given for an early return of the vehicle.
If a late return of the vehicle incurs extra costs for us (e.g. compensation of the next lessee/driver), we
reserve the right to transfer these costs to you.
A return of the vehicle is normally confirmed in writing, signed by the lessee/driver and the owner. If
it was impossible to make a full inspection, you may be contacted to discuss any damage discovered in
your absence as soon as it is revealed.
The lessee/driver will be charged the Drop Fees (the cost incurred by returning the vehicle to the original
collection location) if the vehicle is not returned to the collection point (as indicated on the lessee/driver
Lease Agreement) without the written consent of the Owner.
