Things people ask us.
Straight answers about booking, the campervans, driving and bringing the whole family. If yours is not here, ring us and ask a human.
Booking and payment
- How do I book?
Tap Check availability, pick your dates and your campervan, and the booking system takes it from there. We confirm everything by email, and if anything about your plan needs a human, ring us and we will sort it together.
- Do you take a deposit?
Yes. Book more than 6 weeks before you collect and a 20% deposit secures your dates, with the balance due 6 weeks before collection date. Book inside 6 weeks and the full amount is payable at the time of booking.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- What is the minimum or maximum hire period?
The minimum hire period is usually 2 nights. Short breaks are exactly what the campervans are made for, so a couple of nights away is always enough to book. There may be some periods where the minimum hire period will differ such as special promotions.
The maximum hire is 30 days, however this can be reviewed on individual basis. Please get in touch on WhatsApp 07777 159 304.
- What do I need to bring?
Hardly anything. Bring your bedding, clothes, toiletries, and the food and drink you fancy. Everything else is already on board: the fully equipped kitchen, camping chairs and a table, and all the kit for the trip. And bring your dog well.
- What is included in the price?
Everything you need for the trip. The price covers 20% VAT, unlimited UK and EU mileage, fully comprehensive self-drive insurance, and 24/7 breakdown cover, with up to four drivers included at no extra cost. On board is all the kit: a kitchen pack, a camping pack (table, chairs, awning, hook-up cable and more) and a safety pack. No hidden extras.
- Can I cancel my booking?
You can, and the closer to collection, the more of the hire it costs.
More than 6 weeks before: you lose the 20% booking deposit.
Between 2 and 6 weeks: 50% of the total.
Less than 2 weeks: 100% of the total.
If we ever have to cancel on you for something that is not your fault, you get a full refund.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- How far ahead should I book?
As soon as you can, to avoid disappointment, especially for school holidays and summer weekends. Book more than 6 weeks ahead and only the 20% deposit is due, with the balance 6 weeks before you travel. We do take last-minute bookings too, subject to availability.
- How do you handle my personal data?
Your data is used solely for hiring purposes, insurance verification, safety and legal requirements.
Your data will never be sold or shared unnecessarily.
- Where do I collect and return the campervan?
From our HQ at 9 Castlehill Road, Walsall Wood, WS9 9DA. Normal collection is between 2pm and 5pm, and the campervan comes back by 11am on your last day. If you wish you can upgrade to a early collection from 8am an late return by 1pm subject to availability and additional fee. You are welcome to leave your own car with us for the trip, on free secure off-street parking.
- How long does the handover take?
Allow around 30 -45 minutes. We sign the paperwork, take security insurance deposit and then walk you through everything on board, how it all works, so you set off feeling confident rather than guessing.
- What if I forget how something works?
You will not be stuck. We leave you with plenty of how-to videos, and a dedicated WhatsApp number where you can reach me 24/7, video call included. Real help, not a call centre.
- Can you help me plan the trip?
Gladly. We can suggest and book campsites, map a personalised route, point you at the places worth going, seeing and staying, and advise on what to pack. It is part of the send-off.
The campervans
- What is the difference between Enola and Fenyx?
Sister twins with personalities of their own. Both registered in 2024, they are VW T6.1 campervans with pop-tops, four berth and full kitchens; Enola runs a blue kitchen and Fenyx a tan leather interior. Meet them properly on the fleet page.
- How many people can sleep in the campervan?
Four: two can share Rock’n’Roll double bed downstairs and two can share double upstairs in the pop-top. Kids tend to claim upstairs before the kettle is on.
- Are the campervans automatic?
Yes, both are automatics. If you can drive a family car, you can drive one of these.
- Can we cook properly?
A proper gas hob, a fridge/freezer, running water and a full kitchen kit. Off-grid heating keeps the campervan warm while dinner happens, whatever the weather is doing outside.
- Is bedding included?
Bedding is not supplied, so bring your own duvet or sleeping bags and pillows. Two rectangular cushions and blankets are on board to get you started, and there are blackout blinds too.
- What size are the campervans?
Length 4.9m, width 1.9m and height 2.05m, about the footprint of a large estate car. Keep an eye out for height barriers and car parks under 2.1m and you will be fine.
- What is the onboard power like?
A 300Ah lithium leisure battery runs the lights, the fridge freezer and charging, and a solar panel keeps it topped up as you travel. An inverter gives you 240V for the kettle, a hair dryer and the like, so you are not tied to a hook-up. Plug into mains when you have it and everything charges faster still.
- How do the campervans stay warm on cold nights?
Both campervans have a diesel heater with a thermostat, easy to set and steady through the night. It sips diesel, roughly half a litre to just over a litre an hour when running.
- Is smoking or vaping allowed?
No. Smoking and vaping are not allowed inside the campervan or the awning. It keeps every campervan fresh for the next family.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- Do I need to clean VW Campervan before returning it?
Yes! On collection campervan will be handed over clean & tidy and is must be returned clean & tidy, with clean dishes, rubbish removed, and toilet emptied. Excessive cleaning may incur a fee.
- What happens if something gets lost or damaged?
Report it immediately and take pictures where possible. Cost of any loss or damage will be charged accordingly and the amount will be deducted from security insurance deposit.
Driving
- What licence do I need?
A standard car licence covers it. The campervans are 4.9m long, 1.9m wide and 2.05m high, about the size of a large estate car, and they drive like the modern automatics they are.
- How many drivers can be insured?
Up to four named drivers per hire, all covered at no extra charge and included in the price, so long trips can share the wheel. Ages and licence history are checked at booking.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- Can I take the campervan to Europe?
Yes. The campervans are UK and EU ready. Enola has been to the Belgian Grand Prix and Disneyland Paris, and Fenyx has toured northern France. Tell us when you book so the paperwork and cover are sorted before you sail.
- Is there a mileage limit?
No limit. Mileage is unlimited on every trip, the NC500 and Europe included, so you can follow the road wherever it goes.
- What about insurance excess?
It is covered by the security deposit.
- £1,250 for the UK licence holders
- £1,500 for the EU licence holders
- £5,000 for the USA/CAN/SA licence holders
All deposits pre-authorised on your card at collection, they will show as pending and released once the campervan is back undamaged with nothing missing. Nothing is actually taken unless there is damage.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- Who can be a driver?
Drivers need to be 25 to 79 years old, have held a full licence for at least 2 years, have no major convictions and no more than one fault claim in the last 2 years.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- What documents do I need?
A copy of your driving licence (front and back), two proofs of address that are not the licence and no more than 90 days old, and your National Insurance number if you are a UK driver. EU and international drivers also send a copy of their passport.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- Does the insurance cover my belongings?
No. The self-drive insurance does not cover your personal possessions, so it is worth taking out separate travel or holiday insurance for anything valuable you bring along.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- Can I take the campervan on the Eurotunnel or a ferry?
Yes. You can cross to Europe by Eurotunnel or ferry. The only thing to remember is that the gas bottle is turned off for the crossing.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- What happens if I break down or have an accident?
You are covered by RAC breakdown, Platinum in the UK and Standard in the EU. Call them on 0333 202 3000 and let us know. If there is an accident, collect the other party details, take photos where you can, and tell us as soon as possible.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- What about fuel?
The campervan leaves us with a full tank of diesel and comes back with a full tank. If it is short on return there is a £25 charge plus the cost of the fuel.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- Can I take the campervan off-road, wild camp or to a festival?
No off-roading, it is not insured, though reaching a campsite or car park is fine. Wild camping in the campervan is not permitted either, but official pub stopovers and car parks that allow overnight stays are. UK festivals are welcome with a festival fee, just declare it when you book.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
Dogs and family
- Can I bring the dog?
Yes! Well behaved pets are welcome. One medium size pet (dog or cat) or 2 small size pets are welcome in our campervans for a small fee of £2.00 per pet per nights. We are pet friendly and dog people, because adventures are better when everyone is on board. Bring the lead, the bed and a towel for muddy paws.
Please refer to our Terms for more information.
- Are the campervans good for young children?
Very. The back seats have ISOFIX points and proper belts, the pop-top upstairs feels like a den, and the whole holiday happens within arm’s reach. Bring the car seat you already trust.
