The motorhome is covered by fully comprehensive insurance with a €900 excess.
The security deposit will be refunded within a maximum of 48 hours after the vehicle is returned, provided it is returned without dents, damage, defects, missing items, or breaches of these conditions.
If any damage, defects, or incidents are detected, the corresponding amount will be assessed and deducted from the deposit. If the damages cannot be assessed immediately, Tu Casa Nómada will have a maximum period of 30 days to estimate the repair costs and refund the remaining balance of the deposit, if applicable.

If the renter decides to start the rental late or end it before the agreed date, no refund or reimbursement will be given for unused days or hours.
4. Minimum Age and Driving License
The minimum age to drive the vehicle is 25 years old.

If, due to the renter’s actions or fault, the vehicle is seized, immobilized, impounded, or otherwise unable to be used, the renter shall bear all resulting expenses, damages, losses, and loss of profit suffered by Tu Casa Nómada.
In such cases, the daily rental rate of the rented vehicle will be charged for each day the vehicle remains unavailable.

Unauthorized late returns not caused by force majeure will be penalized with a charge equivalent to triple the daily rental rate stated in the contract.
11. Insurance and Excess
The vehicle is insured in accordance with current regulations and includes fully comprehensive insurance with a €900 excess.
In the event of an accident or claim during the rental period, the renter shall assume the amount of the excess and authorizes Tu Casa Nómada to deduct such amount from the deposited security deposit.
The renter shall be solely responsible for any liabilities, damages, costs, or losses not covered by the insurance policy or resulting from improper, negligent, or contract-breaching use of the vehicle.
12. Vehicle Inspection and Deposit Refund
Once the vehicle has been returned, Tu Casa Nómada will inspect its overall condition, equipment, accessories, documentation, cleanliness, tanks, bodywork, interior, and other elements.
As the recreational vehicle contains multiple devices, furniture, accessories, and technical elements, Tu Casa Nómada reserves a period of 48 hours to carry out the inspection.
If damage, defects, missing items, or breaches are detected, the customer will be informed of the corresponding amount, which may be deducted from the deposit.
If the assessment of damages cannot be carried out immediately, Tu Casa Nómada will have a maximum of 30 days to determine repair costs and refund the remaining balance, if applicable.
13. Customer No-Show
Failure of the customer to appear at the agreed place, date, and time for the start of the service shall be considered a unilateral cancellation of the contract and reservation by the customer.
In this case, a penalty of 100% of the rental amount will apply.
The no-show entitles Tu Casa Nómada to freely dispose of the reserved vehicle without the renter having any right to compensation, reimbursement, or refund.

If Tu Casa Nómada needs to refill the fuel tank, diesel will be charged at €2.50 per litre, which may be deducted from the security deposit.
