11. Damages policy

Please bear in mind, this policy is applicable to rentals of our campervans at all locations where SIESTA CAMPERS operates directly.

LESSEE’s responsibility in the event of any damages:

Although most of our customers drive with care and experience few incidents, it's important to be aware of the procedures SIESTA CAMPERS has in place to handle any potential damages.

SIESTA CAMPERS has implemented this Damage Management Policy which clarifies our approach in terms of billing and charging for damages that occur during the rental period.

Depending on the type of protection you chose for your rental, you may not have to pay for damages, or you may only be partially responsible, please consider checking clause 10 of this Terms and Conditions.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement, SIESTA CAMPERS expressly reserves the right to recover losses that occur from any damage caused to the vehicle during the rental period, directly from the responsible LESSEE. This includes, but is not limited to, physical damage to the campervan and/or damage caused by lack of proper maintenance as well as loss of income caused by immobilisation of the vehicle during the period of investigation and repair. Additionally, SIESTA CAMPERS retains the exclusive discretion to decide whether or not to proceed with the repairs of identified damages, regardless of the charge made to the customer who caused the damage.

Damages identified in LESSEE’s presence at the time of returning the vehicle
If any damage is identified in the presence of a representative from SIESTA CAMPERS at the time of return, it will be noted and LESSEE is required to sign to confirm acknowledgment. SIESTA CAMPERS will contact with information about the specific damages and will issue an invoice with a description of the repair costs, along with any administrative fee associated with handling the incident and the time that the vehicle was out of service and the income lost as a result.

Repair costs vary depending on the nature of the damages:

• Minor damage, which does not affect the safety of driving the campervan, such as scratches, small impacts, dents: these are charged based on our Matrix Price List. We use a damage matrix to work out the estimated cost of repair for each clearly separate incident of damage. It considers an average repair cost for the vehicle model, and contemplates the industry standard labour hourly rates and job duration besides the price of any original equipment manufacturer parts;
• More substantial damages that require temporary immobilisation of the vehicle, such as body damage, will be assessed by fleet manager and independent experts, thus charged according to the expert's estimate or the costs budgeted by the repair workshop, adjusted with administrative fees associated with handling the incident, lost income, and the time that the vehicle spent out of operation.

Damages identified after returning the vehicle (for example, in the situation where LESSEE returned the campervan outside normal operating hours)
In case a representative from SIESTA CAMPERS identifies any damage during inspection after return, we will send the following documents:

1. Updated contract, with description of identified damages;

2. Photographs of damages;

3. An estimate of repair costs (as described above), along with a value related to administrative costs for managing the incident and the time that the campervan spent out of service.

12. Breakdown

12.1.  In the unlikely event of mechanical breakdown, the LESSEE is required to:

12.1.1.  Inform SIESTA CAMPERS prior to seeking the advice of a garage;

12.1.3.  Act according to the advice given by SIESTA CAMPERS, either awaiting assistance from Siesta Campers or using the breakdown cover provided;

12.3.  Be responsible for the costs of any repairs resulting from reckless, negligent or imprudent use of the vehicle, or from breach of any term of this Agreement.

12.4.  In the event that a repair cannot be completed within a span of 24 hours due to circumstances not arising from reckless, negligent, or imprudent usage by the LESSEE, SIESTA CAMPERS is committed to furnishing a substitute camper, contingent upon availability. If, however, no camper is readily available, SIESTA CAMPERS will proceed to issue a refund applicable to all remaining days.
