A confirmation of booking will be posted or emailed to you together with an invoice in respect of the rest of the balance of the hire charge. The full amount is due 28 days prior to commencement of your Bambihire holiday and your booking is at risk if these funds are not cleared prior to this date. We reserve the right to rent the Bambi campervan elsewhere in the event that cleared funds are not recieved within 28 days of hire commencement date.
Security Deposits
For a hire with Bambihire a £500.00 credit card or cash excess charge security deposit will be payable by you prior to releasing the vehicle. The security deposit will be refunded at the end of your hire period provided that the vehicle is returned on time in a clean, complete and undamaged state. Should any damages exceed the security deposit the hirer will be responsible to settle the additional costs, similarly if the damages do not exceed the security deposit Bambihire will only charge for the necessary amount. A charge will be made to you for any vehicles that are returned late or damaged.

Breakdown/Accidents/Incidents
Every effort is made by Bambihire to ensure the vehicle is in a safe and roadworthy condition prior to each and every hire. Therefore Bambihire absolves itself of any responsibility for hotel or any other consequential expenses subsequent to a breakdown. The hirer fully undertands this and accepts the same.
Due to the nature and age of the vehicles, both parties fully understand that the vehicle rented from Bambihire has a significantly greater chance of breakdown than a new vehicle.
Bambihire shall be under no liability for any third party claims or damages in connection with or consequent upon any accident or breakdown.
In the event of a breakdown or accident Bambihire will make its best effort to be at the disposal of the hirer during reasonable daytime hours between 09:30hrs to 17:00hrs. Prior approval must be obtained from Bambihire and its insurers in respect of repairs and replacements.

The tyres including punctures and damage to the window screens are the hirer's responsibility. Any callout charges incurred by the hirer ( for example for flat batteries, wrong fuel, lost keys etc) through the fault of themselves will be the responsibility of the hirer.
Each hirer MUST have thier own individual medical / travel / holiday insurance and excess hire insurance. Documentation must be presented 7 days prior to release of the Bambi. In order to avoid any doubt our insurance covers the vehicle only during the hire period.
