Documentation
Sadly, we have had several occasions over the years where we had to send customers home to get documents.
To avoid disappointment please read the following.
3 Documents you MUST bring:
You MUST provide all 3 of the following original identification documents to be authorised to have possession of the vehicle and to drive.
We will be unable to hand the motorhome over to you if you fail to provide all 3 of these documents:
1. Driving license for all drivers (Manual transmission up to 3500kg)
2. Passport or other form of official photographic ID (Passport preferred)
3. As a proof of address, a recent domestic bill or bank statement. This should be no more than 90 days old. For UK license holders the address must be the same address as your driving license. This document MUST be an original paper document, received by mail, NOT a photocopy, PDF, or digital document, or internet printout.
Our insurance requires that we see original paper documents, please do not e-mail copies or scans.
