VAN-AWAY wherever possible provides the renter with the Campervan reserved by the former. This Campervan is characterised by :

  • Its options and accessories (see options available on https://www.van-away.com/en/tarifs-vans)

In the event that a Campervan becomes unavailable (for reasons of breakdown, accident, delay caused by previous renter) VAN-AWAY will do everything possible to supply a replacement Campervan as soon as possible. This Campervan might have different features to the one booked by the renter. In this case :

  • If the renter refuses the substitute Campervan or the delay, his deposit will be completely refunded (exception : a Campervan of the same standard but with a different colour/design/brand than the one requested is not considered a reason for cancellation by the renter).

  • If the renter accepts the substitute Campervan and if relevant, the delay, VAN-AWAY will reduce the rental price with regard to the new Campervan and its furnishings (even if the replacement Campervan is of a higher standard) taking into account the new duration of the rental.

In the event that an alternative solution cannot be found by VAN-AWAY, the rental will be cancelled and the whole of the deposit will be refunded to the renter.

Under no circumstances can the client claim compensation or interest to cover :

  • The impossibility for VAN-AWAY to insure the rental during the prescribed period

  • The delay of the delivery of a Campervan or

  • The replacement of a reserved Campervan for a substituted Campervan

3.2 – Campervan pick-up

The Campervan can be picked up either from VAN-AWAY offices, or any other location (airport, railway station…) proposed by VAN-AWAY offices.

These claims must be assumed by the renter and his insurance providers.
