'The Hirer’, ‘him' and 'his' refer jointly and severally to the person or persons who are the customers. ‘This Agreement’ means the Rental Agreement, the Insurance Motor Rental Agreement and these Terms & Conditions. In the event of any discrepancy between these Terms & Conditions and any other Budget Motorhome Rental literature, the provisions of these Terms & Conditions apply.

- ‘Budget Motorhome Rental’ means BUDGET Milton Location de Voitures SAS

- ‘Customer’ means the person or persons nominated as the hirer under the heading 'Hire Details' on the Insurance Motor Rental Agreement and any person whose credit card is presented in payment of the customer's charges.

- ‘Rental period’ means the hire period referred to under the heading 'Booking Details' on the Rental Agreement or any agreed variation thereof and any additional period during which the Vehicle is in the customer's possession or control.

CDW

CDW at €15 per day will reduce the excess for any damage caused in a collision to either the Vehicle or third party property to €500.The Hirer will however be fully liable for replacement or repair to windscreen or tyre damage. Applies in respect of each claim, not Rental. Please note that the CDW Insurance is completely optional and can be decided upon collection of your vehicle. Please note overhead damage is not covered under CDW because of the (unusual) height of the Motorhome. Extra care must be taken not to drive under an obstruction that is too low for it to clear i.e. low bridges. In this event Collision Damage Waiver Insurance will not apply and the Hirer will be responsible for the insurance excess of €3000.

Vehicle

All Vehicles may only be driven on sealed and/or bitumen roads.

- Delivery and Return of the Vehicle

The Vehicle must be returned on the date, and before the time stated, on the rental agreement. Vehicles must be returned clean and in the same condition as they leave the depot, otherwise a charge will be made.

If you will be late returning, the rental company must be advised immediately. Failure to advise may result in prosecution for driving whilst uninsured. An additional charge of €50 per hour will be payable for all late returns.

The Hirer acknowledges having received the Vehicle in a clean condition and in sound working order (the Hirer must not disconnect or/and tamper with speedometer. If signs of speedometer having been disconnected or/and tampered with are noticed , the Hirer agrees that he will pay Budget Motorhome Rental for the aforementioned Vehicle on the basis of a 4 weeks rental) and with a full fuel tank and one full gas bottle.

The Hirer will return the Vehicle in a clean condition with a full fuel tank, on the return date and time set out under the heading 'Check in' in the Rental Agreement, otherwise he will pay Budget Motorhome Rental cleaning fee of €220 (except if he subscribes to the “Cleaning option”),
