Q7: What are they like to drive?
They are not particulary fast, cruising comfortably at 60mph. But hey, don't forget that the journey should be as much fun as the destination.

Q9: What happens in the event of a breakdown?
All the Vans have new engines and are serviced regularly, but in the unlikely event of a breakdown all vehicles are covered by AA Relay. If the AA is unable to get you going, then we may either replace the Van (subject to availability) or refund the remaining part of the hire period.

Q10: What do I need to bring?
The vans are fully equipped but please refer to the inventory under each specific van. You will need to bring sleeping bags or bed linen as well as pillows and towels. Please bear in mind that these vans are not huge vehicles and therefore space is limited so we do not advise you to bring too many bulky items. Its also worthwhile remembering that once you have stopped and put up your awning the available space doubles! Please do not forget your driving license and passport. If you are not leaving your car with us, we will need to retain passports.

Q11: What cooking facilities does the van have?
The van is equipped with a three ring cooker, which we find more than adequate. You also have a fridge to keep the milk and (especially) the beers cold.
