What are my options regarding insurance for hiring out?

When new to Goboony, you might be unsure about how much you will be hiring out your motorhome. We understand that this makes you hesitant to dive into a comprehensive self drive hire policy and its initial costs.

Goboony has a daily insurance that you can use to hire out your vehicle. The Goboony Day insurance is only paid for when your vehicle is actually being hired out and the costs are split between you and the hiring party. The insurance also comes with Breakdown cover included.

How can I start using the insurance?

When creating your listing, simply opt into the Goboony-Riverside day insurance. When someone books your vehicle, the policy automatically becomes active for the full duration of the booking. Nothing more, nothing less.

What will it cost?

For the use of this insurance, a fixed £15 per day will be deducted from your earnings as an advertiser. The hiring party then pays a variable rate depending on their driving history.

Is my motorhome eligible for this insurance?

Your motorhome is eligible if it weighs up to 3500kg, is under 20 years old and does not exceed a value of £65,000. The policy only covers right hand drive vehicles. You will also need to have an existing policy for your own personal use of the vehicle as this policy only covers it whilst on hire.



My vehicle is 20 years or older, where can I get insurance?

If you’ve got more of a vintage vehicle it would be worth getting in touch with our friends over at Just Kampers. They have 2 policies that can cover older vehicles and can either work as an annual policy or a pay as you go option.

You could also consider Alan Boswell for an annual policy.

The GoForm states that you must check the motorhome for any preexisting damage together with the Traveller before they leave with the motorhome.

Make sure to check both the interior and exterior of the vehicle for a thorough check.

Check if the promised appliances and amenities are present in the vehicle and are in full working order.
As an advertiser you can specify rules and conditions for renting your vehicle. You can already specify such rules as smoking or pets under booking conditions It is therefore not necessary to also state this in your house rules. Anything else can be put in your house rules section by going to My motorhome then Booking in the left hand column and typing in the text box.

☑️ On Goboony you get to set rules on how your motorhome is hired
Yes, it is possible to both offset the annual costs of your vehicle and even earn money on it long term. How much you earn will naturally depend on how often you rent out the motorhome.

This does not only depend on the number of rentals per year, but also on the type of camper you rent.

To find out more about the kind of rental income your vehicle could earn, check out our price calculator!

✔️ The price calculator is a great indication of what you can earn renting out.

✔️ Following Goboony guidelines and having the motorhome available for rental throughout the year yields higher earnings.

3. Before your advertisement is published and visible to Travellers, one of the Goboony team will call you to go over the advertisement, giving you the ideal opportunity to ask any remaining questions. Only after this phone call will your listing be published.

✔️ Goboony will always verify a new listing by calling the vehicle owner.
