The Terms and Conditions


Deposit & Payment
Your reservation will only be confirmed on receipt of a non refundable deposit for 25% of the hire charge. The balance of the hire charge, plus any optional extras requested, must be paid no less than 4 weeks before the commencement of hire. If the balance is not paid when due, Mull Campervans reserves the right to cancel the booking.

 Security Deposit & Hirer's Liabilities
The hirer will be invoiced for a security deposit, which must be available as cleared funds the week prior to the collection date. The normal security deposit will be £500, but may be increased on the advice of our insurers. The value of the security deposit will normally be the limit of your liability to us in the event of partial or total loss or damage to the vehicle or our equipment. However, you will be held liable for all uninsured losses, including consequential losses to Mull Campervans in the event that you have :
- Passed possession of the vehicle to a third party without our prior permission
- Been driving illegally, including driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Allowed anyone to drive the vehicle who isn't named on the hire agreement
- Caused damage to the vehicle

 Refund of Security Deposit
Your security deposit will be refunded in full provided that you return the vehicle :
- On time and without damage
- With a clean interior. For Bertha, the toilet cassette must be emptied and properly cleaned using chemical disposal facilities at one of the campsites, and the brown water discharged or a £50 cleaning levy will be charged. This will be checked!
- Without loss or damage to any of the items or extras listed on your inventory excepting breakage due to wear and tear.
- With a full tank of fuel

We will normally refund your security deposit within 7 days from satisfactory return of our vehicle. If we need to withhold repayment for any reason we will contact you to explain why and, give our estimated time to establish the full cost of any repairs or replacements necessary. Please note that some third party insurance claims can take considerable time to resolve. We will not attempt to make any unfair or excessive deductions from your deposit, and we will not charge you for small repairs which would be considered part of normal “wear and tear”.
