Sicily Camper Rent Rental Terms

Important information about your rental
The rental contract is established exclusively with the company "Camper-Rent-24" which is represented by its owner, Frank Sacher, Mittenwalderstr. 8, D-82431 Kochel am See, Germany.

The local service provision and transfer of the vehicles is done via one of the indicated service stations.

The basis for the rent of a camper is a rent contract for the respective vehicle and not a total of travel services of a travel operator.

The lessee plans and executes his journey by him/herself and uses the vehicle in his own responsibility - therefore regulations of the Travel Contract Law are not applying. Also, the takeover and return protocol, which has to be filled in entirely and signed by the person renting the vehicle and the service station, is a part of the rental contract.

2. Terms of payment
The booking confirmation deposit itemised in your breakdown of pricing is payable using Visa or Mastercard upon confirmation of your booking.

The remaining price of the rent has to be transferred to the account of the booking office on behalf of Camper-Rent-24 until 28 days before start date of the rent without any discounted fees.

The deposit of Euro 1,000.- can be deposited at collection of the vehicle in cash or travellers' cheques or has to be transferred to our deposit account before takeover of the camper van. The lessee has to provide proof thereof at collection of the camper van. The refund of the deposit is done immediately after your return, of course provided that there are not any damages reported. In case of damage, independently of the amount, the deposit will be calculated from our Munich center! You will received a return protocol at return of the camper van!

There is also a rental minimum period according to the currently valid price list for specific travel periods. We will charge a one-time service fee for each rental.
