If this is not the case, the Lessee will have to pay for the fuel and a supplement of 30 Euro at the time of drop-off.

3. Motorhome pick up and drop off

a) The Lessee shall inform the lessor at least two weeks in advance and in writing when he/she will pick up and return the vehicle, respecting the opening hours.

c) Before the start of the trip, both parties must sign a “Check Out” document in which the Lessee confirms having received an instruction in the use of the motorhome and in which the condition of the vehicle is described.

e) In the event that the Lessee is not present at the time of the final inspection of the vehicle for reasons attributable to him/her, and damage to the motorhome is found, the customer must accept without exception the valuation of the damage carried out by the employees of the rental station.

f) The alteration or modification of the pick-up and drop-off dates of the vehicle is subject to the express authorization of the lessor.

• No one, other than the Lessee and the driver(s) specifically allowed in the contract, will drive the motor home.

e) Unless it is specifically allowed in writing by SOUTHCAMPER, it is strictly forbidden to carry out any internal or external change in the vehicle that may alter the motor home technical or esthetical features. Failure to observe this Clause will require the Lessee to account for all expenses arising from returning the vehicle to its original state, in addition to a compensation for the motor home immobilization during the vehicle repair.

f) Smoking in the rental vehicle is strictly forbidden. The transport of pets –or any other animals- is also forbidden except previous allowance from the Lessor. Failure to observe this Clause means that the Lessee will have to pay all expenses arising from the breach of this rule (damages, cleaning, etc.)

g) Failure to observe any Clause in this section will allow SOUTHCAMPER to unilaterally terminate the contract with no rights to compensation for the Lessee.

8. Actions in the event of an accident

a) In case of theft, fire, accident, aggression or any other type of serious damage caused by extraordinary circumstances, the Lessee must immediately inform the police. Likewise, any of the above circumstances as well as other incidents (e.g. delays in returning the vehicle, whether due to force majeure or other causes) must be communicated to SOUTHCAMPER within 24 hours for its knowledge and acceptance.

b) Unless there is a written accident report, no responsibility for the incident will be acknowledged.

not writes this report – no matter the reason why – and this prevents the insurance company to pay for the damages, the Lessee is required to pay for the
total corresponding amount.

e) Under no circumstances is the Lessee allowed to abandon the vehicle without previously making sure that it is properly safe and protected. The Lessee is required to contact, when necessary, the road assistance company hired by the insurance company.

f) The vehicle’s theft must be immediately reported to the appropriate authorities. The Lessee is required to send SOUTHCAMPER the motor home’s keys as well as a copy of the report within the next 24 hours. Otherwise, the hired insurances would be ineffectual.

g) In case the Lessee does not comply with the clauses specified in this section, SOUTHCAMPER will be entitled to claim a compensation for damages caused by the client, including the company’s loss of earnings due to the motor home’s immobilization.

9. Vehicle’s defects, repairing and clean-up

The client is required to contact the Lessor or the insurance company and, if necessary, take the vehicle to an officially approved service center, exclusively of the chassis’ or the motor’s brand.

d) The Lessee is required to commission all the necessary repairs to ensure the trip’s safety up to a cost of 150 EURO. SOUTHCAMPER will bear these cost as long as it has expressly agreed to do so and the damage liability does not fall on to the Lessee according to the present General Terms and Rental Conditions. The Lessee is required to hand in the Lessor the concerning receipts, as well as the original substituted components.

e) In the event that the original motor home suffered serious damages or was unusable for traffic without any fault on the Lessee’s part, and provided its availability, SOUTHCAMPER will offer the Lessee a replacement vehicle with as many seats, or more. In such case, the termination of the contract is excluded.

f) Damages or flaws caused in the living space will be settled by the Lessee in communication with the Lessor, who will point out how to carry out the correct repairing.

g) In the event that these damages were responsibility of the Lessor and the Lessee would not deal with their repairing, the Lessor is required to immediately inform SOUTHCAMPER of the defect and provide a reasonable period of time for its repairing. The Lessor will not take responsibility for a delay in the repairing when this is caused by the specific circumstances of the country they are in.

h) In the event that the motor home suffered serious damages or was unusable for traffic, SOUTHCAMPER will not be required to offer a replacement vehicle, even when there were an available one. Termination of the rental agreement by the Lessee is excluded in such a case. In the event of offering a replacement vehicle, the Lessor may charge the client the additional costs that this may lead to.

10. Lessor’s liability

a) SOUTHCAMPER’s liability is limited to all damages maliciously or seriously neglectfully caused by the Lessor.

b) SOUTHCAMPER hands in the vehicle after having carried out all necessary maintenance actions to ensure its correct operation and is not liable for damages caused by the Lessee as a result of delays directly or indirectly caused by repairing, accidents or failures arising from the motor home’s regular use.

c) In the event of failing to hand in the vehicle on the agreed date, the Lessee will not be entitled to demand compensation for damages, when this failing is caused for force majeure or accidental reasons beyond the Lessor’s control.

d) SOUTHCAMPER is not liable for the Lessee’s own vehicle, parked in its offices during the rental period.

11. Lessee’s liability, insurance and excess

a) The Lessee will be liable for damages cause done to the vehicle and to third parties in the following circumstances:

• If he violates the existing traffic regulations of the country where he is driving.
• If the damage is caused by not being fit to drive (e.g., alcohol, drugs, narcotics, etc.)
• If the damage caused by the loss of keys or the leaving of the keys inside the motor home.
• If the Lessee or one of the authorized drivers flees after suffering or causing an accident.
• If the damages arise from failing to comply with the duties set out in Clauses 7 and 8.
• If the damage is caused by a non-authorised driver.
• If damage is caused by failure to take the dimensions of the vehicle into account (height, width, length)
• If the damage is caused by getting the vehicle stuck in water or in areas where amounts of water can build up.
• If the vehicle is taken from the Lessee as a result of a police check

b) In the case of damages caused to third parties, and as long as covered by insurance, the Lessor will exempt the Lessee of the caused damages liability with an excess of 750 Euro; in the event of having hired an additional insurance, the amount will be reduced to 250 EURO, which will be paid by the Lessee.

The Lessee’s limitation of liability to the excess’ amount will not apply when breaching Clauses 7 and 8, or in the event of the Lessee’s having acted maliciously or seriously neglectfully. In no case will the Lessee be exempted of public, criminal, administrative or any other liability, in the event of having acted maliciously or seriously neglectfully.

c) The Lessee is liable for all fines, fees and other extraordinary expenses in connection with the use of the motor home during the rental period, unless such expenses are incurred for reasons that are responsibility of SOUTHCAMPER. The Lessee should settle these on the spot wherever possible. The Lessor reserves the right to deduct any fees, charges, fines and penalties incurred from the deposit or to require reimbursement from the Lessee after the deposit has been refunded. An administrative fee of 35 EURO per incident will be charged. The Lessee will also be liable for any financing costs and for the cost of any legal advice that may arise from such incidents.

Agreeing to these General Terms and Rental Conditions implies the Lessee’s consent to the transmission of his data to government authorities in the event that these may be requested. This will also apply, for instance, to providing information to the relevant traffic department when there is reason to believe that the Lessee has committed traffic offenses during the rental period. A request from a government agency is sufficient cause for SOUTHCAMP EXPERIENCE, S.L. to provide data.

d) If there is more than one Lessee, such persons will be jointly and severally liable.

e) The vehicle is only covered by insurance for the stipulated duration of the contract. SOUTHCAMPER is not responsible for any damage outside the rental period, being the Lessee the only responsible party.
