- 5% for hires of 15 - 24 nights
- 10% for hires of 25 nights or more
For flex rate bookings the following applies: The flex rate that is available at the time of booking for the first rental day determines the daily rental rate for the entire rental period up to the 7th day. Every rental day from the 8th day on are counted as a new booking and the flex rate that applies for the 8th day will be used from then on, and the flex rate that applies for the 15th rental day will be used from then, etc.
Pick-up and drop-off days are counted as one day in total, i.e. each rental night is used for the price calculation in the same way as is done by hotels. To find out which flex rate is currently valid for the vehicle you are interested in, just click for a price calculation for the desired rental duration. The flex rate is calculated by the rental company on the basis of supply and demand and is adjusted every Sunday.
Note: If you wish to make any changes to your booking, the booking will be re-calculated using either the original flex rate or the flex rate at the time of the booking change, depending on which rate is higher.
The following situations are classified as booking alterations.
- Change of date for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of location (depot) for vehicle pick-up or drop-off
- Change of vehicle category
- Name change
If you decide to extend your rental duration by 2 days to a date that is later than the original drop-off date, the same flex rate is used that applied on the day when you made your original booking. If you extend this by 3 days or more, the booking change rule applies as outlined above.
If an amendment is made to the rental dates within 14 days of collection, no refund will be made if the length of hire is shortened (i.e. the rental will be charged at the number of days originally booked). There is no refund for late pick up or early return of vehicle.

Drivers ages 21-24 years:
€ 1,750 per incident for Duo vehicles

Apollo must be advised immediately of any damage when it occurs.
For any damage resulting from hail, break-ins, accidents with animals, etc (i.e. 'external influence' or 'freak' damage excluding damage caused by other people to the rental vehicle) above excess applies. Any damage to the tyres, mirrors and/or windscreen is not insured and must be paid for by the renter unless you purchase 'Special Cover' (please see below).
The general regulations governing insurance in the UK and Ireland apply as the foundation for this insurance policy. The excess applies to each incident and will be charged separately if more than one incident occurs.
Public liability insurance
Public liability is included in the rental rates which covers the registered drivers with € 5 million. It covers personal injuries and property damage of the third party but personal belongings are not covered.
Additional Insurances:
- High Road CDW (Collision Damage Waiver, optional):
You have the option of purchasing supplementary CDW insurance in advance or at pick-up time.
In order to reduce the level of the excess to € 250, the CDW insurance costs £ 27 per day unless you buy the Value Pack.
Please note that CDW is not available for drivers under 25 years of age. CDW insurance does not cover damage to the windscreen, tyres or mirrors.
- Special Cover (optional):
This insurance option will give you cover for damage to the vehicle windscreen, tyres and/or external mirrors (please note: cover is limited to 1 windscreen, 2 tyres or 2 mirrors) and can be purchased locally at £ 9 per day (max. £ 145).
Please note that the Special Cover is not available for young drivers aged 21-24 years.
A deposit of € 1,500 (for Duo) or € 2,000 for all other vehicles is required to provide cover for the damage excess when you pick up the vehicle. If the drivers are between 21 and 24 years old a deposit of € 1,750 (for Duo) applies, or € 2,250 (for all other vehicles). This can only be done with a credit card (Visa and MasterCard only). You will not be able to pick up your motorhome unless you present a valid credit card.
The security deposit is deducted from the credit card at pick-up and if the vehicle is returned in good and clean condition it will be fully credited back within 28 days of return of the vehicle. All credit card deductions are processed in GBP or EUR. Neither Bunk Campers nor Motorhome Bookers are liable to pay any cost differences that occur between the cost of the deducted bond and the reimbursement which result from foreign exchange fluctuations or external fees.
Please ensure you have adequate credit available on your credit card.
The deposit is reimbursed in entirety by Apollo as long as the motorhome is returned clean, undamaged and with the same fuel level as it was picked up. The rental company reserves the right to charge fees for any damage, necessary cleaning fees, late drop-off and fines incurred during the rental period, etc. These fees are deducted from the credit card in arrears.
If an accident occurs with another vehicle or the driver of another vehicle flees the scene, the renter is liable up to the limit of the excess. The excess is deducted in the first instance - regardless of who is at fault.
The excess is deducted separately for each individual incident within the upper limit.
It is reimbursed as soon as the rental company receives any damage payments from a third party, which can take some time.
Insurance cover is null and void if the terms of the Apollo Motorhome rental agreement are breached. Any damage that is caused when the renter acts outside of the rental company conditions is not covered by the insurance.
Any water and/or saltwater related damages where the renter is at fault are not covered by the insurance. The insurance does not cover damage in the case of any vehicle submersion, the vehicle being stranded in a water area, driving through causeways or beach driving.
Any personal property that is damaged or stolen during an accident, vandalism or a theft is not insured. Private insurance should be purchased in your home country to cover any such issues. In order to avoid theft of personal items from the vehicle it is advised not to leave any valuable items in the vehicle.
The insurance does not cover damage in the following cases and the renter is fully liable:
-Activities that are in breach of the rental agreement conditions, e.g. driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or dangerous driving (especially with regard to trailers and camping appendages)
-Costs that arise for towing and recovery of vehicles that have been stranded or submerged as a result of the driver's negligence

-For damages caused by neglecting proper operating procedures, e.g. incorrect fuel type and quality, ignoring oil or coolant levels, ignoring warning signals, air pressure, etc.
-Damage to the underside of the vehicle or the roof, which includes the overhead “Luton” area is deemed as gross negligence. Any such damage will be charged at a fixed cost of € 2,500 plus the full insurance excess on the vehicle
-The theft of the vehicle if the keys are left in the ignition or in or on the vehicle whilst unoccupied and the hirer shall be held fully responsible for a replacement vehicle
-Damage caused to windscreen, mirrors and/or tyre damage unless Special Cover has been purchased
-For damage caused by the incorrect use of snow chains
A €45 administration fee will be applied to all loss or damages.
All credit card payments taken at the rental depots are made in EUR. The renter alone is liable for any credit card fees or fluctuations in foreign currency that occur while your deposit is held and cannot be claimed back from Apollo Motohome Holidays nor Motorhome Bookers.
The renter is liable for any fees, costs, fines or penalties that occur during his/her use of the rental vehicle unless any such costs that have taken place are the fault of the rental company.
If speeding tickets and parking fines and/or accidents, etc (e.g. that have not been mentioned to the rental company) come to light the rental company reserves the right to invoice or charge the customer for these costs in arrears as well as a processing fee.
The insurance options offered by the rental company do not include luggage insurance, nor do they include cover for any damage to passengers. It is therefore recommended to obtain travel insurance prior to your departure that covers accidents, sickness and loss of luggage.
