When Driving the motorcaravan

When driving the motorhome the primary driver often called named driver on the insurance document will be responsible for any damage. Any driving points obtained during the motorhome hire will be placed on the driving licence of the named primary driver on the hire insurance document. This is covered at length in our terms and conditions as well as the motorhome insurance documentation. The same applies for international driving licence holders when driving one of our motorhomes.
