Wild Way Campers campervans may only be driven by the Hirer and/or agreed additional Drivers who have been accepted by Wild Way Campers and their Insurance Company. All named Drivers must be over 25 and under 70 years of age and have held a full licence for at least two years. The rental prices quoted on our website and literature include insurance cover for one Irish, UK or European named driver aged between 25 -70 years, with a clean licence. US and Canadian licences must be held for a minimum of 8 years and EEA licences a minimum of 5 years. In order to comply with the requirements of our Insurance Company all drivers must disclose full details of any indorsements or accidents. Any additional surcharges due to, for example: non-EU licence, driver’s age, high-risk occupation, history of endorsements within the last five years, history of accidents, physical/mental defects, refused motor insurance record and motor convictions, additional drivers, etc. will be advised by Wild Way Campers and any additional costs will be payable as part of the rental fee.
All drivers must submit copies of their full drivers licence and confirmation of address in the form of a recent utility bill (not older than three months) or a bank/building society statement at the time of booking advance of the rental. UK drivers must submit copies of both their photo card and paper counterpart licences.

The Hirer is insured for damage to the campervan and third party damages. In the event of any damage to the vehicle or third party the Hirer will be responsible for the insurance excess of €1000 per case not rental. Failure to declare an incident or accident is a criminal offence punishable by law.
