Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions of Beijs Roadtrips
We are a Dutch company and our Dutch terms and conditions will always prevail.
Article 1 Definitions
- In these terms and conditions, several terms are used for which we provide explanations below:
- Beijs Roadtrips: the user of these terms and conditions;
- us, our, and we: with 'us,' 'our,' and 'we,' Beijs Roadtrips is referred to in these terms;

- website: the website www.beijsroadtrips.com
Article 2 Applicability
- These terms and conditions apply to every agreement between Beijs Roadtrips and the renter.
- Any terms and conditions of the renter are explicitly rejected by us.
- If Beijs Roadtrips does not always insist on strict compliance with these terms and conditions, this does not mean that the terms are not valid or that Beijs Roadtrips loses the right to demand strict compliance in other cases.
- If one or more provisions of these terms and conditions are null and void or are declared invalid at any time, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and a new provision shall be established that closely approximates the original provision.
Article 3 Conclusion of Agreement
- Beijs Roadtrips offers its campers for rent on the website. This constitutes the offer.
- If the renter completes the reservation process on the website and clicks on 'book and (down) payment,' the agreement is concluded. The renter subsequently receives a booking confirmation email and must pay a deposit of 25% of the rental amount. By clicking 'book and (down) payment,' the renter incurs a payment obligation.
Article 4 Driver
- The renter must inform Beijs Roadtrips in advance of who will be driving the camper during the rental period. The driver must identify himself/herself with a driver's license and identity document. A copy thereof will be made on-site at Beijs Roadtrips.
- The driver must be at least 24 years old and have held a driver's license for a minimum of 3 years.
- If a driver is not reported to Beijs Roadtrips, he/she is not insured, and the renter is responsible for any resulting damage.
- The renter is liable for traffic violations. All costs resulting from this will be charged to the renter, including administration costs of €25 per violation. The renter expressly agrees to this.
Article 5 Payment of the Rental Price and Changes
- Upon booking, the renter must make a deposit of 25% of the agreed rental price. The remaining 75% must be paid no later than eight (8) weeks before the start date. For bookings made less than eight (8) weeks before departure, the renter is required to pay 100% of the rental amount immediately.
- If the renter returns from vacation earlier, no reduction or partial refund of the rental price will be granted.
- If the renter fails to take possession of the camper at the agreed time without canceling, the renter remains liable for the full rental price.
- Payments can only be made by bank transfer or by debit card. Due to security reasons, Beijs Roadtrips does not accept cash payments.
- Payment must be made to account number NL 05 RABO 0378 5334 44 in the name of Beijs Roadtrips V.O.F.
- If the renter fails to make timely payment, Beijs Roadtrips will send a single notice of default requesting payment. After the deadline of this reminder, the renter is in default and liable for extrajudicial collection costs and statutory interest. If the renter fails to comply with the default notice, Beijs Roadtrips may terminate the agreement and take further legal measures to collect its claim. The renter is then also obliged to reimburse all judicial and extrajudicial costs incurred.
Article 6 Cancellation by the Renter
- The Renter may only cancel by providing a written cancellation statement via email or post. The date on which the cancellation statement is received by Beijs Roadtrips shall be deemed the date of cancellation. Cancellation fees shall be calculated according to the following scale: - Up to 8 weeks before the start of the rental period: 25% of the rental amount; - 6 to 8 weeks before the start of the rental period: 50% of the rental amount; - 4 to 6 weeks before the start of the rental period: 75% of the rental amount; - Up to 4 weeks before the start of the rental period: 100% of the rental amount.
- Beijs Roadtrips advises taking out travel and cancellation insurance to cover forced cancellations. However, this is entirely the responsibility of the Renter.
Article 7 Cancellation by Beijs Roadtrips
- Beijs Roadtrips reserves the right to cancel a reservation made through the website without providing a reason and without any form of compensation being owed if, for example, two users simultaneously book the same camper. Both users may receive a booking confirmation. The deposit will then be refunded.
- Cancellation by Beijs Roadtrips is also possible if there is reason to believe that the Renter has possible wrongful intentions, such as theft, embezzlement, or causing damage to the camper. In such a case, the deposit will be refunded without any further form of compensation being owed to the Renter.
- In the event of force majeure, Beijs Roadtrips is also authorized to cancel the reservation. Force majeure includes, but is not limited to, predicted severe weather, loss of the reserved camper, late return, and the unavailability of a comparable camper.
- If Beijs Roadtrips cancels a reservation due to force majeure, any amount already paid by the Renter will be refunded without any further form of compensation being owed to the Renter.
- Beijs Roadtrips expressly disclaims all liability for damages due to cancellation.
Article 8 Deposit
- The regular deposit is €1,500 per rental period.
- For destinations as described in articles 10.3 and 10.4, an increased deposit of €500 is applicable on top of the regular deposit.
- If the Renter brings a dog, an increased deposit of €500 is applicable on top of the regular deposit.
- The renter must ensure that the deposit is paid by card at the Beijs Roadtrips location on the day of departure.
- The deposit will be refunded to the renter's account within 14 days after returning the camper, provided that the renter has fulfilled all obligations under the agreement, unless Beijs Roadtrips is entitled to withhold the deposit and/or requires an additional payment from the renter. In case of damage, the remaining amount, after deducting any extra costs owed by the renter, will be returned to the renter once the total damage is known. If the costs payable by the renter exceed the deposit, these must be paid directly to Beijs Roadtrips by the renter.
- Any additional costs owed by the renter may be deducted from the deposit. If the deposit is insufficient to cover the damages to which Beijs Roadtrips is entitled under the agreement, the renter must pay the remaining amount directly to Beijs Roadtrips. If necessary, a final statement may be prepared to specify the costs.
- Beijs Roadtrips does not pay interest on the deposited amount.
Article 9 Rental Period
- The rental period begins and ends according to the days and hours chosen at the time of reservation and as specified in the individual rental agreement.
- We have a fixed drop-off time, namely between 09:00 and 11:00 in the morning. The exact drop-off time will be agreed upon with the Renter and specified in the individual rental agreement. Deviation from the agreed drop-off time is only possible with the consent of Beijs Roadtrips.
- If the camper is not returned by the agreed time in the agreement, you as the Renter will owe us a fine. This is only not the case when the late return is due to a technical defect in the camper and this defect has been reported to us immediately. The assessment of whether this defect justifies a late return is solely at the discretion of Beijs Roadtrips.
- If the camper is returned late, it will not be available for the next renter, forcing us to charge a fine. In the event of exceeding the drop-off time, we will charge a fine of €250 per day.
- Extending an agreed rental period is only possible based on availability and is subject to written approval from Beijs Roadtrips.
Article 10 Destination
- Beijs Roadtrips' insurance provides coverage only in countries listed on the International Motor Insurance Card (also known as the green card). Because the insurance does not cover countries not listed on the green card, it is not allowed to travel with the camper to these countries.
- Countries listed on the green card but not considered safe must not be visited or traversed by the Renter. The travel advice from the Dutch Government is leading in this regard (https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/travel-advice):
- Countries classified as yellow according to travel advice: only with Beijs Roadtrips' permission;
- Countries classified as orange/red according to travel advice: not allowed. Violation of this prohibition means that the Renter is fully liable for all damage resulting from entering and/or traversing the area.
- In principle, it is not allowed to use the camper for skiing holidays or other winter destinations. The decision to make an exception to this rule lies entirely with Beijs Roadtrips and cannot be relied upon by others, such as potential renters. The Renter must always seek permission from Beijs Roadtrips. Damage caused by violating this prohibition is entirely the responsibility of the Renter.
- In principle, it is not allowed to use the camper to attend a festival. The decision to make an exception to this rule lies entirely with Beijs Roadtrips and cannot be relied upon by others, such as potential renters. The Renter must always seek permission from Beijs Roadtrips. Damage caused by violating this prohibition is entirely the responsibility of the Renter.
Article 11 Renter's Obligations
- The Renter is required to register the driver(s) before the start of the rental period with a driver's license and identification. Without this dual identity check, there is no insurance coverage.
- If the Renter does not drive themselves, they must inform the drivers registered with Beijs Roadtrips of these terms and conditions and ensure compliance.
- The camper always remains the property of Beijs Roadtrips. The Renter may not sublet, offer for sale, sell, transfer, encumber, or make available to others.

- The camper must be used in accordance with the applicable laws, rules, and regulations at the place of use.
- The Renter is required to ensure that any damage is limited as much as possible. An example of this is not driving with flat tires and inflating them in time, as well as repairing a chip in the windshield.
- Before departure, Beijs Roadtrips will provide information on the operation of the camper. It is the Renter's responsibility to carefully follow this information. This written information must be signed by the Renter before departure. Damage caused by not following the information/instructions is entirely the responsibility of the Renter.
- If the Renter fails to fulfill their obligations under the individual agreement, these general terms and conditions, or the applicable legislation, the Renter is liable for all damages and costs incurred by Beijs Roadtrips as a result.
Article 12 Repairs and maintenance

Article 13 Liability of Beijs Roadtrips
- Beijs Roadtrips is not liable for any damage due to temporary unavailability of the reservation option, or if the website is temporarily offline for maintenance or other reasons.
- If Beijs Roadtrips cannot provide the camper to the renter because the previous renter did not return the camper on time, Beijs Roadtrips has the right to provide a comparable camper to the renter for acceptance. If a comparable camper cannot be provided, you as the renter will only receive the rental amount for the lost days from us. You are not entitled to compensation or any other form of reimbursement in any case.
- Beijs Roadtrips is not liable for damage beyond its control, such as events beyond its control, or due to actions or negligence of the tenant or driver.
- Beijs Roadtrips is not responsible for damage resulting from incorrect or incomplete information provided by the renter.

Article 14 Renter Liability
- The insurance does not cover damage caused by intent, deliberate recklessness, fraud, crimes, when using alcohol and/or drugs, refusing a breathalyzer, urine or blood test. In these cases, the tenant is fully liable for all damage. Beijs Roadtrips will recover the full damage from the tenant in such a case.
- The renter is obliged to limit damage and is liable for damage caused by, for example - but not limited to - driving on flat tires, not repairing a chip in the windshield, and similar cases.
- The renter is solely liable for items left at Beijs Roadtrips as this is entirely voluntary without payment. As a tenant, you expressly agree that the entire responsibility lies with yourself if you choose to leave items with us. We do not acknowledge any liability in that case.
- The renter is liable for the deductible of €1000,- per event. This is offset by Beijs Roadtrips with the deposit, but in the case of multiple events, Beijs Roadtrips reserves the right to fully recover the exceeding costs from the renter, for example by having to pay the deductible multiple times or damage not covered by the insurer.
- The renter is liable for damage to the interior. Beijs Roadtrips will deduct this damage from the deposit.
