Clients travelling by air are advised to overnight in a hotel for flights exceeding seven hours. Severely jet lagged clients will be advised to return the following day for their own safety. All Hirers are required to be present for collection of the vehicle, paperwork, show through and familiarisation of the vehicle. |

Licenses must be in English; alternatively an international driverís licence will be required. No special licence is required to drive these vehicles. For all clients it is advisable to have driven a larger than average vehicle prior to hire, or to have driven a vehicle whilst towing a trailer. Most motorhome dealers in your country of origin offer short driving courses for motorhomes if you feel at all unsure about driving a larger vehicle.
