  1. Insurance (provided all the personal information supplied is correct)

 

The Vehicle is insured for theft and damage to the Vehicle and the property of a third party; but does not include any personal insurance for the customer (including death or bodily injury to the driver) or cover any personal possessions. The vehicle insurance is arranged by Alan Boswell. The hire rate quoted includes a standard excess of GB£1000.00 per accident, reported incident or Vehicle theft. In the event of any damage to either the vehicle or third party property, the hirer will be liable for the first GB£1000.00 per claim. In the event of the theft of the Vehicle, the hirer will be liable for the full cost of the Vehicle; once a theft has been reported to both Luna Motorhome Hire and the police, a claim will be lodged with the insurer. The keys must be returned to Luna Motorhome Hire. Should the insurer accept the claim and agrees to reimburse Luna Motorhome Hire for the cost of the Vehicle, the liability to the hirer will reduce to the first GB£1000.00 of the claim (excess). Please note: if the keys are not returned to Luna Motorhome Hire, the insurer will not accept the claim and liability for the full cost of the vehicle will remain with the hirer.

Only persons named on the Rental Agreement are insured to drive the vehicle. Please note that no insurance cover (including CDW) is offered for overhead damage, any damaged deemed as gross negligence, or any internal damages therefore the hirer accepts fully liability for these which is in addition to the standard vehicle excess should that apply. Windscreens and /or tyre damage is not covered by the standard vehicle insurance and therefore excess, however Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) does cover these items, (conditions apply), please see section 28, Insurance for further details.

Luna Motorhome Hire will be responsible should damage to personal possessions or bodily injury occur (including death) as a result of proven gross negligence on Luna Motorhome Hire’s part i.e. our actions or failure to act. Luna Motorhome Hire will not be responsible for any loss which is a side effect of the main loss e.g. loss of profits or opportunity. This is separate from the vehicle insurance provided.

 

  1. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)

 

Collision Damage Waiver at £35 per day with a minimum of £150 per hire will reduce the £1000.00 excess for damage caused due to a Road Traffic Accident (RTA) or collision (i.e. reported accident) to either the vehicle or third party property to £500. It will also cover the cost of replacement tyres or windscreen. However, it will not cover any damage to the vehicle or third party property caused through a reversing manoeuvre, deemed as malicious damage i.e. vehicle brake in or vandalism, cover the replacement or repair of windows or cover the theft of the vehicle. No insurance cover is offered for overhead damage, any damaged deemed as gross negligence or any internal damages therefore full liability will apply. Applies in respect of first incident and or claim, not entire Rental duration. Once an accident has occurred CDW cannot be restarted and standard insurance terms will apply. Incident must be reported to Luna Motorhome Hire within 24 hours otherwise CDW cover will not apply. Minimum charge term for CDW is 5 nights in winter and 7 nights during July and August. Maximum charge terms is 21 nights.

Should the Terms and Conditions not be adhered to, the CDW will be void and the customer will be liable in full for all costs and damages. Please note that the CDW is completely optional and can be decided upon collection of your vehicle. After the hire has commenced, CDW cannot be taken out. CDW cannot be offered to drivers over the age of 70.

 

  1. Vehicle Damage – Insurance Cover

 

You are aware that:

  • A) The Vehicle is insured for damage to the Vehicle and the property of a third party; but does not include any personal insurance for the customer or their possessions
  • B) Neither the Standard Insurance nor Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) covers overhead damage. Overhead damage is deemed as any damage above 6 foot high from ground up. The hirer will be responsible for the cost to repair all damages
  • C) You will have to pay an excess for any Insurance claim regardless of which party is at fault for the accident. The insurance excess is £1000.00 per claim, not per rental
  • D) The excess may be reduced or removed, in most circumstances when a Road traffic accident (RTA) has taken place, by taking out a CDW. Terms apply; (please see clause 27, CDW). If CDW was accepted by me, it is set out under the ‘Insurance Declaration’ on the Rental Agreement and an additional premium must have been paid
  • E) You will not have any insurance cover and you will be responsible for the total cost of any damage if you breach any of the terms of this Agreement
  • F) You will be responsible for any damage caused through gross negligence and will not be covered by the insurance including CDW

A No Show is deemed as the customer not presenting themselves on the first day of the rental period to
collect their motorhome and not communicating to Luna Motorhome Hire prior to this date that will be collecting the vehicles on an alternative date/time within the booked rental period. Should the hire be
deemed a No Show, the booking will be automatically cancelled at close of business that day, the vehicle will be released for re-hire and no refunds what so ever will be due.
Luna Motorhome Hire cannot postpone or transfer money from one hire to another. Luna Motorhome Hire reserves the right to amend our cancellation policy for certain events. For the Luna Motorhome Hire Italy package holiday and Eurolease offer; cancellations forfeit 100% of total hire charge from the time of booking.
