Question 1

What about Insurance?

Accepted Answer

Our vans are fully covered through overlapping ways during your rental.

Primary Insurance:
In the unlikely event an accident does occur, your auto insurance policy will be used as the primary insurance coverage.  If you  carry comprehensive and liability coverage on your personal car,  coverage typically will extend to our rental vans.   You will need to provide us with a copy (photo) of your insurance card or travel policy information (International travelers), and driver's license, prior to your rental.

Secondary Insurance- Our Insurance Coverage:
We carry commercial fleet insurance coverage, with a Vehicle Combined Liability of 1,000,000, and a Vehicle Physical Damage that covers the full stated value of our vans.  Both have a $1000 deductible that would be the responsibility of the renter following a collision.  Depending on your auto insurance  deductible, this may may be covered by your policy.  
Our commercial fleet insurance is included in the daily rental rate and serves as a secondary insurance coverage for our vans, meaning our insurance would take effect after your personal vehicle insurance is utilized.

Supplemental Insurance- Credit Card:
You should also check with your credit card company—the credit card that  you’ll be using for your van rental. If there are any gaps in coverage  with your personal auto policy, the credit card company could provide  additional secondary coverage.  We recommend you book our vans with a credit card with rental coverage for extra peace of mind.

Supplemental Insurance- Online Options:
You can also opt to purchase supplemental rental insurance from a site like rentalcover.com (rentalcover.com)
Policies with a $0 deductible/$35,000 Collision Damage Waivers are only around $18/day for our vans.  This is an easy, affordable option if you do not have personal auto insurance.

Please contact us if you have  any additional questions about insurance on our vehicles or need help getting supplemental insurance.

Question 2

Do you offer Roadside Assistance?

Accepted Answer

We try our best to keep our van operating in a tip-top condition by regularly maintaining our vehicles and performing safety checks.

Due to the rural nature of Southeastern Utah and the age of the vehicles, we prefer that our vehicles stay within roughly a 2 hour driving radius of Moab, or approximately 100 miles.  This includes quite a large area with a lot to explore.  In the event of a breakdown, our vehicles are fully covered for towing within this area. If a vehicle breaks down due to collision or driver error(i.e. stuck in a ditch; leaving the lights/radio on; inability to operate a functioning vehicle), you are responsible for any amount your personal auto insurance and our fleet insurance does not cover.

If you fall outside of the 2 hour driving radius, you will be responsible for any towing cost per mile (over 100 miles) if the vehicle breaks down due to a collision or driver error.  Towing costs for breakdowns that are not a result of a collision or driver error will be covered if you are within 150 towing miles of Moab (you pay for any amount over 150 miles).  If you have personal roadside assistance coverage such as AAA, then we recommend you travel with that as well for added peace of mind.  Additionally, in the case of collision, your personal vehicle insurance may cover the additional cost of towing.

In the unlikely case of a vehicle breakdown, we will often be able to drive to you and either fix the van on the spot, or trade out your vehicle with another nearly identical van.  Again, given the rural nature of Southeastern Utah, this is often the fastest way to get you back on the road!  We ask that you try to contact us first to help you self rescue, and/or secure a tow or other assistance for the vehicle.

Vans are outfitted with spare tires and tools to change them, tire inflators, battery jump starters, and a spare hide-a-key for the door (not ignition).

Question 4

How do I get to Moab without driving myself?

We offer a flexible cancellation policy:
 • If cancelled more than 30 days prior to departure:
    • 100% of the booking total is refunded minus a $50 cancellation fee and a 3% credit card charge on the total amount including the deposit.

• If cancelled less than 30 days but more than 5 days prior to departure:  	 	
    • Renter is responsible for 25% of the nightly total (i.e. excluding the security deposit and any add-ons)
    • Renter can opt to reschedule (for up to one year) and receive a partial, 80% credit towards another trip

• If cancelled less than 5 days but more than 48 hours prior to departure: 	 	
    • Renter is responsible for 50% of the nightly total (i.e. excluding the security deposit and any add-ons)
    • Renter can opt to reschedule (up to one year) and receive a partial, 65% credit towards another trip

Changes resulting in a decrease in days will be charged the same fees above.  There are no charges for changes resulting in an increase in days or a change of dates with the same number of days(subject to available dates).

If you have to cancel during a trip, a "day" is counted in your favor, for example:  If you book a 5 night trip, and have to cancel after 2 nights out, you will be charged for those two nights, plus another 2 nights, and 50% of the fifth night.  If you book a 10 night trip and have to cancel after 2 nights, you will be charged two nights, plus another 2 nights, plus 50% for 2 more nights, and 25% for the remaining 5 nights.

Question 13

Where can I camp?

Accepted Answer

So you've booked one of our Campervans and now you need to find a place to camp!   This is a list of some of our favorites around Moab:
 • Sand Flats Recreation Area- excellent views with access to hiking and biking trails.  Limited shade in Summer, but sunny in Spring and Fall.  Vault  toilets/no running water.  RESERVABLE
 • BLM river campsites- Check out Goose Island, Grandstaff, Drinks Canyon, Oak Hall, Big Bend, Kings Bottom, Jaycee Park, and Williams Bottom.  These all are great options if the weather is a bit warm.  Vault toilets/No running water. NON-RESERVABLE
 • Other BLM sites- North Klondike, Horsetheif.  Both of these sites have access to biking and hiking trails.  Limited shade in the Summer, but sunny in Spring and Fall.  Vault Toilets/No running water. NON-RESERVABLE
 • Deadhorse Point State Park- Camping with amazing views.  Reserve your campsite well in advance.  Flush toilets/Showers/Running Water. RESERVABLE
 • Canyonlands and Arches National Park- Campsites are great with good access to hiking.  Again, you will need to reserve your campsite well in advance. RESERVABLE
 • Willow Springs Campgound-  This is a great overflow area with good access to biking trails.  Vault Toilets/No Running Water. NON-RESERVABLE 
We recommend booking a campsite at a reservable spot if visiting on a weekend during the Spring or Fall when it is busiest.  Otherwise, campsites can usually be found on a first come-first serve basis during the off-season (Summer/Winter)  and mid-week (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday).
Contact us if you cannot locate any campsites and we may be able to help you out!
Please note- if you plan on camping outside of an established campground, there are very limited option available in the greater Moab area, and you must have a portable toilet system.  We rent both flushing and non- flushing systems for a small fee.
