Roadside Assistance and Repairs

Any repairs in excess of $50.00 require our prior approval. Receipts for repairs under $50.00 will be reimbursed, provided that you were not directly responsible for the damage.

Vehicle Substitution

• Layouts of vehicles may vary slightly due to manufacturer's modifications of designs.
• Any illustrations on this website should be considered as indicative only.
• If your rental period is delayed or reduced as a result then you will be entitled to a refund of any monies paid for the period of the rental that was not provided.

Late Return of Campervan

• If the campervan is kept beyond the contracted rental period without authorisation, a rate equal to double the summer daily rate will be charged.

Booking Amendments

• Please be advised that Campa South reserves the right to treat booking amendments as cancellations, at its discretion.

Animals

• With the exception of seeing eye dogs for the blind, no animals are permitted in our campervans.
