Travel to Mexico Motorhomes are allowed to travel into Mexico, but such travel must be confirmed in advance. Area restrictions may apply. US or any other liability insurance does not provide coverage in Mexico. The customers therefore must purchase additional liability and CDW insurance before entering Mexico. This insurance, with a premium of USD 19 per day, is sold at our depots in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Customers have to provide the depots with the exact dates the vehicle will be in Mexico. When traveling in Mexico, traveler assistance is not available and any repair costs, towing or fines occurred in Mexico are the renter’s responsibility. Please advise us at the time of reservation if your clients are planning on traveling to Mexico. Restrictions - Mexico, unless an additional insurance is purchased - Death Valley from June 15 to September 15 - Logging roads, non-public roads and off-road driving - City of New York - Greater metropolitan areas of Montreal and Quebec City (Canada) Northern Travel supplement All rental vehicles traveling to Alaska, the Northwest Territories or the Yukon are permitted and must be confirmed in advance. A USD 450.00 prepaid non-refundable supplement is required. Substitutions Moturis RV & Camping World is entitled to upgrade customers to a higher rated vehicle at no extra cost.

Minimum Rental 3 day minimum rental (exception: 7 days minimum rental period from June 29 to September 6, 2009). Pets Small pets are allowed at owner’s responsibility. An additional deposit of USD 1,000 is charged at the time of pickup as well as a cleaning fee of USD 150 at the time of drop off. Towing Towing is not permitted. Storage Storing items on vehicle roof is not permitted. Free storage of luggage is available at all locations at owner's risk (not available for one way rentals). Winterization Each motorhome has to be winterized from November to April (period may vary depending on the weather and temperatures) to prevent freezing. This will include the water pipes, toilet, fresh water tanks, sink, shower, external shower, hot water heater and holding tanks. Winterization requires that water be drained from the fresh water tank, hot water heater and both waste tanks. Once the vehicle is winterized, no water can be put into the fresh water tank and it cannot be hooked up to the city water supply anymore. Therefore, no water at all is available in the motorhome. The toilet, however, can still be used as long as windshield washer antifreeze is poured down to rinse. Pink RV antifreeze has been run through all the pipes and put into the black and grey tanks. If the renter removes this antifreeze and put water into the system, the tanks and pipes will crack. If this happens, he/she will be responsible for repairing these systems and any other damages caused by cracking pipes/tanks. It is the renter’s responsibility to have the vehicle re-winterized on the return trip (if de-winterized for a trip to an area with warmer temperatures). Upon return, if the renter presents us with a receipt from a Southern RV Service Center, we will reimburse him/her, up to a maximum of USD 75. If the renter does not have a receipt, we will keep the security deposit and charge him /her for any additional costs incurred in repairing damaged pipes, tanks, water heater, walls, floors etc. General Conditions All rentals are subject to the terms and conditions of the rental contract. Prices, policies and conditions are subject to change without notice at any time. |
