Consecutive rentals can be combined to qualify for a long-term discount rate. Rentals in the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand can be combined to obtain a long-term discount rate, providing travel is within a 3 month period. If drop off of a vehicle and pick up of a new vehicle occurs on the same day then a day each will be charged per respective vehicle. Multiple rentals are treated as separate rentals under the one way fee and minimum rental period conditions.
Cheapa Campa reserves the right at its sole discretion to restrict vehicle movements in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions, and the distance to nominated destinations in relation to the length of the rental period.
Death Valley and other desert areas:
Vehicles are not allowed to operate in Death Valley and other desert areas during 15 May to 15 Sep. At other times clients visit these areas at their own risk and are thus responsible for all recovery and other charges. During certain periods these areas are not habitable and could pose a danger to the driver and passengers.
Mexico, Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories & Newfoundland:
Travel to Mexico, Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories and Newfoundland is strictly prohibited.
Manhattan:
Due to restrictions on vehicle heights, propane gas and parking, vehicles with propane are not permitted in Manhattan and are not permitted to travel through any underground or underwater tunnels.
An additional surcharge of USD 500 applies for travel to the Burning Man Festival.
A surcharge of USD 2.00 per night (maximum USD 90.00 per booking) applies to all rentals picking up from the Denver branch.
If the renter wishes to change the drop off destination after the rental has commenced, they first must obtain authorization from the Cheapa Campa Head Office. Subject to the change being approved, a minimum additional charge of USD 500 will apply.
If the customer wishes to extend the rental whilst on hire, they must first obtain authorization from Cheapa Campa Reservations who will advise of the additional costs. Rental extension is subject to fleet availability. The extra cost (Gross Rate) of an extended rental must be paid by credit card over the telephone or at an Cheapa Campa Branch immediately on confirmation of the rental extension.
Failure to obtain authorization will result in the renter being charged double the nightly gross rental rate.
Although we run late model vehicles, it may happen that small repairs are required. Repairs up to USD 100 may be affected without authorization and will be reimbursed unless the damage is caused by the renter. For amounts over USD 100, Cheapa Campa will need to be informed in advance. All vehicles are covered for 24hr emergency roadside assistance.
Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge the renter for any speeding, toll way or parking fines not reported on return of the vehicle. In addition to these costs, Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge for associated administration costs for processing the fines (irrespective of excess). An administration fee of USD 75 per fine will be applicable.
Should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to substitute an alternative vehicle without prior notification and at no extra cost. This shall not constitute a breach of contract and does not entitle the renter to a refund.
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by vehicle category.
Should the renter decide to take a lesser vehicle than booked within 14 days of pick up or during the rental then they will not be entitled to any refund.
In the event of no alternative vehicle being available to the renter our liability is limited to a refund of the hire charge or in the case of mechanical failure (unless caused by the renter) the remainder of the hire period.
We reserve the right to refuse any rental at our discretion.
No animals are permitted in our vehicles, excluding guide dogs.
Smoking is not allowed in our vehicles.
Campervan and motorhome rentals up to a Total Charge of USD 2,000.00 (two thousand United States dollars) per rental:
Full payment is required within 72 hours of rental confirmation.
We strongly recommend that renters ensure they take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.
The public liability insurance is included in the daily rental rate. Cheapa Campa is insured for damages to third parties and/or their property up to a limit of USD 1 million. The public liability insurance that covers the registered drivers is only up to the statutory limit as stipulated by law of the State you are in at the time. This insurance amount is normally very low.
Cheapa Campa has included an additional SLI third party insurance policy in the rental rates which increases the driver's public liability insurance level to USD 1 million – well above the statutory limits.
The maximum SLI insurance covers claims made by third parties against the rental company or the renter of the motorhome (for damage to third parties or their property). Passengers in the rented motorhome are not counted as third parties and the driver is therefore not insured for claims brought by them against him/herself.
The renter is responsible up to the amount of USD 1,500 for the cost of damage to the rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability applies in respect of each claim, not per rental. The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to Cheapa Campa, not at the completion of the rental Period. In addition to the Liability an administration fee of USD 75 will be charged per claim.
Cheapa Campa's rental charge includes a Standard Liability of USD 1,500. A Bond of USD 1,500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. The USD 1,500 will be debited to the credit card account immediately. An administration fee of USD 30 applies.
A USD 0 (zero) Liability applies. This Option can be purchased by paying to Cheapa Campa USD 15 per night. The maximum amount payable for this Option per rental is USD 600 - i.e. 40 nights rental.
LRO protects against:
A Bond of USD 500 will be collected at the time of entering into the Rental Contract. The USD 500 will be debited to the credit card account immediately. An administration fee of USD 10 applies.
For security purposes, only a credit card can be used to provide a Bond. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the Bond upon vehicle collection. The credit card holder is jointly and severally liable for any damage to the rental vehicle.
The Bond is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned to the correct location on time, is full of fuel and all other terms of the Rental Contract have been complied with. If there is damage to the vehicle on its return, the Bond will be used to cover the cost of such damage up to the amount of the relevant Liability. However, if the terms of the Rental Contract are breached and the Bond is insufficient to cover the damage then any extra cost will be charged.
At all times the renter is responsible for:
Are subject to change without notice.
