The customer reported finding the Camptoo website very confusing. I also had to keep checking back, as things like the fact that the deposit hadn't been paid (until the last moment, when I chased it up) could so easily have been missed.

You’ll need a suitable insurance cover
Not only is insuring your vehicle a legal requirement, but it provides peace of mind that your investment is protected at any time. Two common insurance options are the pay-as-you-go daily insurance cover and the annual self-drive hire policies. Each have their own benefits, depending on how often you use your vehicle and the type of coverage you want in your policy. We have worked alongside leading insurer Alan Boswell to offer you a ground-breaking solution.
Pay-as-you-go-daily-insurance
If you have an existing insurance that doesn't cover private hire and only want to pay as you go for the days you rent out your vehicle, then the Alan Boswell Camptoo Daily Insurance is the flexible solution for you, allowing you to comprehensively insure your vehicle for the days you rent it out. This covers your hirer during their trip anywhere in the UK or the EU. This policy will cost you £21.28 per day, which will be subtracted from your commisions. Please keep this in mind when setting the nightly rates: these should include coverage for the prices.
Annual Self Drive Hire Insurance
This option allows you to get your motorhome insured for hiring it out throughout the year. Unlike pay-as-you-go daily insurance, a comprehensive annual insurance policy covers your renters and provides you off-hire cover. That means you and other named drivers are insured if you want to use the vehicle without a rental contract. With the Alan Boswell Camptoo Annual Insurance, you are fully covered at prices starting at £ 1334.00 per year, including insurance taxes and roadside assistance throughout the UK + EU.
If you would like us to assist you with the insurance process, just give us a call at +44 1344 207870 or send an email to sales@camptoo.co.uk and we’ll help you find the perfect insurance solution.
Receive the first rental requests
Your advertisement is finished, so potential renters can now see your listed vehicle. To ensure that you are visible and get plenty of requests, we’ll boost your ad for a short time.
We’ll notify you via email or SMS if someone is interested in your vehicle. When you are considering a request and you're unsure, let us know and we're more than happy to help you every step of the way.
Accept the rental request
With the rental request, the potential renters send you a personal message in which they explain why your vehicle is perfect and where they are planning to travel to. You can look at their Camptoo profile with additional information as well as their reviews. We check the renter’s identity as well as the validity of their driving licence.
If you are comfortable and feel happy with the renter, feel free to accept the request. By accepting the request, you agree to the rental terms.
Payment process and deposit
Camptoo manages the whole payment process for you. Once payment has been made, contact details are made available to both parties to arrange the pick-up. The amount will be transferred to your account the next business day after the trip has started.
The renter also has to pay a security deposit a few days before departure. The deposit is set by the owner but is usually £1.000 for motorhomes and campervans and £500 for caravans.
The adventure starts
Once the booking is paid in full (including deposit) the renter can start the journey! Camptoo provides a handy digital transfer form to document the start. All you need to do is conduct a vehicle inspection as you fill in the form and sign-off before handing over the keys!
Once the trip is over
You perform a final inspection and inform us as to whether the deposit can be returned to the renter. You are entitled to charge for extra mileage, cleaning costs, gas, and/or toll fees. Everything is simple and can be handled online. It won’t take longer than a few minutes.

Have you thought of renting out your caravan? You could earn up to £10,000 per year extra income, help fellow campers experience the joy and freedom of camping, as well as being part of an amazing community. Camptoo is here to help you do just that.

Two common insurance options are the pay-as-you-go cover and the self-drive hire policies, each have their own benefits, depending on how often you use your vehicle and the type of coverage you want in your policy.
Pay-as-you-go-daily-insurance
Some of our owners don't use their motorhome's particularly often or only rely on them for short periods every now and then. Therefore, they often rely on pay-as-go insurance, a comprehensive insurance policy that offers a flexible solution to insure your vehicle for a limited period of time in the UK or in Europe. These policies will cost you on average £20 per night which will be subtracted from your commissions.
We use a UK based company called DayInsure.
Annual Self Drive Hire Insurance
This option allows you to get your motorhome insured for hiring it out throughout the year. Unlike pay-as-you-go daily insurance, a comprehensive annual insurance policy covers your renters and provides you off-hire cover.

The driver verification process didn't happen and I had to call to get it sorted. I was told the process only happens a few days before the rental but if the person fails the verification it doesn't give either side very long to sort it out. It would be helpful if it was more like a week or two before hand.

Very straightforward and efficient. Everything covered off but without a raft of unnecessary paperwork. Good communication though the website is a bit slow and clunky sometimes.

Gursaant and family we're extremely friendly and took good care of our motorhome. I wouldn't hesitate to hire it to them again- always a pleasure when you're dealing with honest and caring individuals! Many thanks for your understanding with the faulty leisure battery, so glad we could replace it that morning. Also really appreciated the lunch ;-)

Marie and Paul were an absolute pleasure to rent my van to. They communicated really well, looked after my van, and returned it clean, and in good condition. No complaints whatsoever. I would definitely rent to them again.
