Insurance
Fully comprehensive insurance is provided by Lazy Days to the driver(s) named on the Insurance Motor Rental Agreement. A maximum of 2 additional drivers can be added to the insurance.
Lazy Days campervans may only be driven by the Hirer and/or agreed additional Drivers who have been accepted by Lazy Days and their Insurance Company. All named Drivers must be over 21 and under 75 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 UK or Irish named driver aged between 25 -75 years, with a clean licence. Any additional surcharges due to, for example: licence from outside UK/Ireland, 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 Lazy Days and any additional costs will be payable as part of the final balance.
All drivers must produce their full drivers licence AND confirmation of address in the form of a recent utility bill or a bank/building society statement at the time of hire. Hirers from outside Ireland and the UK must provide a valid passport as proof of id. Please note that if these documents are not available, Lazy Days will be unable to proceed with the Hire as they are governed by their insurance company’s requirements.
The Hirer is insured for damage to the campervan and property of a third party. In the event of any damage to the vehicle the Hirer will be responsible for the insurance excess of €1600 per case not rental. Failure to declare an accident is a criminal offence punishable by law.
It is illegal to drive without insurance in Ireland & UK. Driving by an unauthorised driver invalidates the insurance.
The theft of a campervan is not covered by insurance if the keys are left in the ignition or the surrounds of the vehicle while the vehicle is unoccupied and the hirer shall be fully responsible for the cost of a replacement vehicle.
The hirer is accountable for the following items not covered by Lazy Days insurance:
- Windscreen & tyre damage.
- Loss/damage/theft to the radio, stereo equipment, and aerials.
- Personal effects within or from the vehicle.

- No damage to camper, including windscreen or tyres, or any third party.
- No malfunction, breakdown or repairs caused by the negligence of the hirer. The hirer is required to check the water and oil levels in the engine and tyre pressures.

A cleaning fee of €50.00 will be charged against the deposit if the vehicle is not returned with the interior and exterior in a clean condition.
Lazy Days reserves the right to increase the security deposit for specific events e.g.: festivals or rallies.
Violation of Traffic Laws and Regulations
Driver(s) are personally liable for all legal penalties and fees pertaining to any traffic violation infringements under the current Road Traffic Legislation applicable in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.

The driver(s) will still be liable for any penalties and fees received after this period.
Lazy Days will notify the driver(s) of any speeding or parking fines and an administration charge of €25 for each infringement incurred throughout the hire period.

In the event of breakdown 24 hour roadside assistance is provided by the AA. Minor repair bills up to the value of €125 will be reimbursed by Lazy Days upon production of receipts. Repairs in excess of this amount must first be authorised by Lazy Days PRIOR to the work being undertaken.
A replacement camper van may be offered subject to availability. Lazy Days cannot accept liability for any costs arising from accident, breakdown or any other cause, e.g., replacement vehicle costs, travel, accommodation. Lazy Days liability extends to either replacing your van with a similar one or refunding your hire charge for any days you lose the total use of the vehicle.

Availability/Choice of Camper Vans
Lazy Days shall make every effort to ensure that the vehicle reserved by the hirer is available for the agreed rental. If for any reason it is not available we reserve the right to make another vehicle available without extra cost. BUT if this is not acceptable or another vehicle proves unobtainable, our liability is limited to the refund on any money paid to Lazy Days by the hirer.
Collection & Return
Lazy Days aim to be as flexible as possible with our collection and return times. Our normal office hours are 9 AM to 6 PM. If you are unable to collect the campervan within these hours, please contact us and we will try to make ourselves available. We cannot guarantee that we will be available outside office hours, and if we are not the campervan will be available for collection the following day, or whenever is arranged otherwise between you and Lazy Days.
If the campervan is returned late (i.e. outside the times agreed), the Hirer will be surcharged at the rate of €25 per hour or part thereof together with any additional costs incurred by Lazy Days (e.g. compensation to the next Hirer.)
No refund is given for an early return of the campervan for any reason, (e.g. accident, weather or theft).
Where campervans have been arranged to be delivered to / collected from the Hirer, times and details shall be previously arranged and agreed by Lazy Days and the Hirer.
The breakdown or malfunction of equipment after the campervan has left the premises will not be accepted as reason to abort or cancel the Rental Agreement, and any such fault will be rectified as soon as possible.
Any accidental damage caused to a campervan once covered by the Rental Agreement but still on Lazy Day’s premises shall be deemed as the Hirer’s responsibility.
The Hirer is responsible for returning the campervan with a full tank of fuel and ensuring that it is as clean as at the point of Hire. Upon return Lazy Day’s representative will check the campervan for damage, cleanliness, a full tank of fuel, condition of the tyres, windscreen, bumpers, roof lights, mirrors, doors and internal habitation equipment.
Lazy Days will make the following charges for additional cleaning:
- €50 for the cleaning of stained upholstery.
- €50 for a very dirty interior or exterior. Lazy Days campers must never be taken through a car wash, or washed using a pressure wash on the paintwork. Should this be ignored, damage to paintwork and the resulting costs incurred by a specialist body shop shall be passed on in full to the Hirer.
- €75 if the no smoking clause has been ignored.
- €100 for additional cleaning required after pets have been taken (please see Pets section below)
Please consider that the next customer may be collecting the camper within hours of your return time.
Please allow at least 30 minutes for the collection and return of your vehicle.
Pets
Pets are allowed only if previously agreed by Lazy Days. We expect Hirers to act responsibly with their animal and it is their responsibility to ensure their safety and to comply with current laws governing animals in transit when traveling in the campervans at all times.
A €100 cleaning charge will be payable if necessary and any repair to damaged or torn upholstery will result in a deduction from the Security Deposit for repair.
Personal Car Parking & Storage
The parking of one car per rental will be provided by Lazy Days. Storage of luggage may also be available if booked in advance. Both parking and storage shall be entirely at the hirer’s own risk.
Complaints
