FAQ
-
What are my insurance options?Rest assured, we have two insurnace options. Choosing one of our two options is mandatory to rent from us:
-
What does the damage deposit cover?Renters will be responsible for any damage to the vehicle, both exterior (tires and body) and the interior contents while the vehicle is in their possession. It is the renter’s responsibility to thoroughly check the campervan prior to leaving the premises of Nomad HC, for any damage not recorded on the “vehicle condition report”. The report will be reviewed with the customer during the van tour and then emailed to the customer shortly after check-in. We also highly recommend that Renters take time stamped photos as well. Renters authorize Nomad HC to charge the credit card on file for the full cost of damages plus applicable service or potential loss of revenue fees.
-
What happens in the event of an accident or breakdown?If it's an emergency, call 911 immediately. If an accident occurs, please refer to your Rental Agreement and contact us as soon as possible. If the campervan breaks down or requires a tow, please call roadside assistance. If you purchased roadside assistance for your reservation, then you are covered. If you did not purchase roadside assistance, you must still call roadside assistance are cover the cost of the service. If there is a mechanical failure of an internal component of the campervan, we will do our best to repair the problem via phone support and get you on your way as quickly as possible. We may send someone if we can fix the problem on site and you are within 200 kms of the office. If there is a catastrophic failure which is no fault of the customer we will re-book the customer free of charge. If a customer does not wish to be re-booked, we will refund the remainder of your trip. If the failure is a result of the customers actions or negligence, the damages will be taken from the customers damage deposit. If the damages are major, the customer will not be permitted another van. If the issue is a minor inconvenience and the van still operates safely (water leak, electrical issue, heat or AC failure) customers can choose to continue their reservation and Nomad HC will offer a discount for the inconvenience and lack of amenities.
