Making a booking

Booking your camper adventure couldn’t be easier! Just have a look at our campers, choose the one that is right for you then check out the calendar to see if it is free, select your dates and submit your booking!
Occasionally the campervan may be unavailable for your chosen dates which will be added to the calendar, if it hasn’t been added on and we cannot accept your booking we will aim to rectify the situation by offering alternative dates or an alternative campervan. This however will only happen in exceptional circumstances.

Confirmation of booking

Please allow up to 5 working days for your booking to be confirmed. If it is a last-minute booking, please call to discuss. A confirmation email will be sent to you with the relevant information for your booking, followed by a payment request.
A 25% deposit is required to confirm your booking. The balance will be due 6 weeks before your trip starts.
If your trip starts less than 6 weeks ahead, full payment is required to confirm your booking.
Extras can be added and paid for up to 2 weeks before your trip starts.
You will also be required to pay a £1000 security deposit

Returning the vehicle

When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it left, with rubbish bagged, toilet emptied and laundry in a red wash bag, ready for cleaning and another customer.
The vehicle should have a full tank of fuel. We will send details of local fuel stations in your email and also in the OVC Handbook in the campervan.
Once the vehicle has been checked and cleaned, we will contact you to arrange return of your security deposit.  This can take up to 5 working days, also allowing for traffic and driving violations to be received.
There will be a walk round and sign again of the OVC Go Form before the customer is able to leave.

Liability of your vehicle*

While your vehicle is at our Oak Valley Campers Office, although there are cameras, leaving the car and its contents is at your own risk. We do ask for you to leave a set of keys if for any reason we should need to move it.

Liability of our campervans

While in your care you are in sole charge of the campervans, all are covered by RAC Breakdown cover and Insurance*. However, if something should happen to the van internally you will lose your deposit and potentially have to pay more towards rectifying the breakage. If something happens to the van externally, this can be discussed, and the insurance excess may be taken out of your deposit.

Cancelling your booking

We appreciate that sometimes bookings need to be cancelled through no fault of your own, we will do our very best to support your cancellation. Your deposit is non-refundable. Cancellations made more than 4 weeks before your trip dates will be refunded excluding your deposit. Cancellations made within 4 weeks of your trip dates will not be refunded unless we are able to resell your dates. In this case we will issue a refund to you, based on the price of the replacement booking (Late notice offers are usually sold at a reduced rate).
If you would like to transfer your booking, we will try to accommodate this. There will be no refund if the new booking is for dates at a lower price. If you wanted to transfer your booking to another hirer, we would need a new booking form to be completed with all the details required in our Hiring Requirements.
For any changes to your booking ie. transfer of dates, change of driver etc there will be an admin fee of £25 per change.
We reserve the right to cancel your booking if our Hiring requirements are not met.

Personal Belongings

Your personal belongings are not covered by our campervan insurance. They may be covered by your home insurance. We would recommend that you check your home insurance before the start of your trip and make other insurance arrangements if personal belongings are not covered. Holiday insurance cover is also something to consider, particularly if there is any possibility of a late cancellation.
