This penalty is so we can offer a discount to the next customer for not having the motorhome ready for them at their time of collection.

If the motorhome and contents is returned back to us in the same condition as you picked it up in, you will get your full £500 security deposit returned in full within 2 weeks of returning the vehicle.
