Where you can drive your camper, the roads and areas that are off-limits, and what happens to your cover if you go outside them.
Why this matters. Your insurance and protection plan are only valid inside your permitted territory. Driving outside your permitted country, or in any area listed as off-limits below, breaks your Rental Agreement: your protection plan is voided, you become liable for any damage, malfunction, recovery, or relocation costs, and an Out-of-Territory Fee may apply. Roadside assistance is also excluded for a vehicle stuck off-road, on unpaved roads, or in a prohibited area.
Off-limits everywhere, in every region
Your camper is built for sealed roads and campsites, not rough terrain — so a few surfaces stay off-limits wherever you travel, however tempting the shortcut or the view:
- beaches;
- any unpaved, closed, off-road, or seasonally restricted road that isn't suited to the vehicle.
It's worth sticking to: damage from these surfaces isn't covered, and if the van gets stuck out there, roadside assistance won't be able to reach you. The same applies in Europe, North America, and Australia & New Zealand.
Europe
You can drive in these 32 European countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
UK & EU trips
You can drive from the UK into the EU, as long as you return the vehicle to a depot in the UK or Ireland — or the other way around. Because UK and Ireland vehicles are right-hand drive and continental European vehicles are left-hand drive, one-way trips between the UK/Ireland and continental Europe aren't possible; the vehicle always has to return to a depot with the matching drive side.

If you drive outside your permitted area
Driving outside your permitted countries, or in any area listed as off-limits above, is a violation of your Rental Agreement. In that case:
- your protection plan is voided and you lose your liability cover;
- we can't be held liable for any damage, malfunction, or other consequence that happens outside where insurance is valid;
- you're liable for any repair costs, vehicle relocation, and any administrative costs, charges, fees, or fines we incur as a result;
- we may charge an Out-of-Territory Fee for each day the vehicle is used or located outside the permitted territory or in a prohibited area.
