Vehicle Insurance & Standard Liability

A refundable Security Bond is required at the start of the rental as security.

The bond is fully refunded provided the vehicle is returned on time, undamaged, with fuel tank filled to the same level as at collection. Refill charges will apply for Autosleepers to refill fuel or gas. The vehicle must be returned in a clean condition with toilet and waste tank (where applicable) empty or a cleaning fee will be charged. If it is suspected the vehicle has been driven off-road, or the vehicle is too dirty to check for damage, the bond will be held until a complete inspection of the vehicle has been carried out. If no damage is found then the bond is refunded in full, less any cleaning charges due.

The following costs/damages are to be paid in full by the Hirer:

  • Windscreen
  • Tyres
  • Roof damage (where the vehicle has been damaged above the top of the windscreen)
  • Under-carriage damage
  • Towing after an accident

In the event of an accident, the security bond will be withheld as your insurance excess. Autosleepers require as much information to be written down as possible. In particular, please take photos of the scene where possible BEFORE moving the vehicle(s).

The Bond is fully refundable provided terms are met. The RV simply needs to be returned on time and full of fuel to the Hippie branch location booked. Credit card refunds including bond refunds can take up to 14 working days depending on the guest’s financial institution. If there is damage to the RV on its return or any other terms of the rental contract have not been met, the Bond will be used to cover the cost up to the amount of the relevant Liability.
