Please be mindful when parking the motorhome and remember that parking overnight at the side of the road is not permitted in England. Scotland however, allows wild-camping particularly in the Highlands and Islands. This is dependant on the area, as some areas have no camp zones.
We advise to book campsites in advance, particularly in high season to avoid disappointment. We provide a Privilege Scheme Card for the Camping and Caravanning Club free with every hire, which gives you member rates at over 120 award winning UK and Northern Ireland campsites.
If possible, hard standing pitches are best as they make parking easy. Check the facilities available with the campsite, and whether there is mains power, water, grey waste and toilet facilities.
You can leave the car at the Depot whilst out on hire, however it is left to your own discretion and we are not liable for any damage.
Yes, your motorhome provides your own kitchen and washroom and so is classed as self contained accommodation under current UK guidance.
Where possible, we will try our best to accommodate booking alterations, up to 60 days prior to your original hire date. New hire dates must be within the same calendar year, are subject to availability and must be of corresponding value.
Interest can be registered at our offices at Preston Caravans and Motorhomes, alternatively you can call our office for further information and availability on 01772 685949. Upon booking you will need to pay a non-refundable booking deposit of 40% of your total rental cost or full payment if it’s a late booking.

This acts as an insurance excess during your hire, and will be refunded provided that the vehicle is returned clean and undamaged as described in our terms and conditions.
