Can you tell me about camping and choosing pitches? Motorhomes are not able to park overnight on the roadside in most areas of Europe. Therefore it is best to pre-book a campsite pitch before you leave, particularly at busy times. Where possible, hard standing pitches are the most desirable as they make parking easy. Check the facilities available with the campsite, and whether there is mains power. Also remember to ask what facilities are close to your pitch, such as a children's play area.
Are motorhomes suitable for disabled people? Many disabled people who normally use a wheelchair and their carers find that motorhome vehicles can be easily adapted for their needs. Ramps and lifts can be fitted and some other internal modifications can be carried out to adapt the vehicle, which, subject to an individuals eligibility, can be supplied without VAT.Motorhomes up to 3.5tonne can legally be driven on an ordinary car license. Anything above and up to 7.5tonne require a pre-1st of January 1997 license or a class 3 LGV license
When do I have to return the Motorhome? For weekly and mid week hires, returns need to be between 9.00am and 10.30am on the Friday. For weekend hires returns need to be between 9.00am and 10.30 am on the Monday. Sorry we do insist on you being punctual as we want to make sure the vehicle is fully prepared for the next group to enjoy their holiday.If its your first time with a motorhome we would like to spend at least an hour with you running through the fittings, so you feel comfortable and if you feel you need longer that won't be a problem
What is supplied with the vehicle? Each vehicle is supplied with complimentary living equipment such as bedding, cooking equipment, eating utensils, bath and tea towels. Also, each vehicle is supplied with a complimentary Apollo Pack for your first night. The pack contains matches, mini shampoo and conditioner, dishwashing liquid, sponge, soap, salt and pepper, coffee, tea and sugar sachets. Vehicles are also provided with comprehensive maps and camp ground guides. We strongly recommend you use soft bags instead of suitcases for your luggage. Soft bags take up less room and fit more easily into the storage cupboards and lockers in the vehicle."
Do I need a special driver's licence? All you need is your regular valid drivers license. Age between 25 and 70 years. Drivers between 21 and 24 years pay $10/day insurance supplement. Drivers over 70 may be accepted upon request. Only persons named on the contract are permitted to drive the rented vehicle.For most of U.S. rentals, a $500. reservation deposit, or half of the rental, is charged to your credit card at the time of confirmation. This is later applied toward your rental charges. When you pick up your RV, there is also usually a security deposit charged and held during the time of your rental. Terms, rates and conditions of deposits vary depending on the owner. The owner will let you know what the details are before confirming your rental.
Can we take a motorhome abroad? Yes we do allow our motorhomes to be taken abroad. Hirers travelling abroad will require a minimum of Continental comprehensive insurance and green card cover which will be supplied by Chester Van Centre Limited at an additional cost to the hirer, see our tariff for cost.The V24 and C24 are identical except that our C24s are brand new or one year old, and the V24s are starting their third or fourth season.
