Vehicle substitution
We reserve the right to substitute under special circumstances the desired vehicle with an equal or better vehicle
without prior notice before the start of any rental period.
If a vehicle needs to be substituted because of an accident or mechanical problems, and the hirer refuses to accept a
replacement vehicle as stipulated above, the hirer is seen to terminate the contract, and no reimbursements will
apply.
Vehicle substitution costs because of an accident or mechanical failure resulting in non-drivable caused by own fault
or negligence or Vis Major (wind, storms or lightning) will be for the hirers' account.
Driving distances can be great and Bobo Campers must be given a realistic time to cover a distance before lost
holiday time becomes a factor for a claim submission. Non-essential items like air conditioners can take longer (up to
two days) to be repaired, depending on the country or area the customer is travelling in.
Accidents
By law all accidents must be reported to Bobo Campers and the local Police within 24 hrs.
Failing to report accidents voids all insurance cover and the hirer becomes fully liable for all cost
Personal injury and belongings
Personal injury and belongings are not covered by our insurance. The client is therefore responsible to obtain his or
her own travel insurance.
