• You must be over 25 years of age
• Valid Driver’s license that does not expire during the time of the rental

• The Basic and Essential packages include the statutory state minimum liability protection for the state where the accident happens (typically $25,000).
• All but the Basic package include Roadside Assistance.
• Insuring RV/Camper Van rentals is a challenging and costly endeavor and we make nothing from your insurance purchase.
• Additionally, credit card policies and your personal automotive policy will not provide the proper coverage for our Mercedes Sprinter camper van rentals and will not be accepted.

Breakdowns

We perform a thorough inspection before and after each rental to make sure everything is safe and functioning properly and all routine maintenance is done by certified Mercedes technicians.

• 24 hour roadside assistance is included with the Essential and Peace of Mind insurance packages. If you’d like roadside assistance, we recommend choosing at least the Essential insurance package as it’s cheaper than the Basic package + roadside assistance.
• Assistance is limited to accessible roads and areas within the continental US, Alaska and Canada.
  • If you choose to venture out into more remote areas, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for any costs associated with assistance.
• If the issue is not a simple repair, Cascade Adventure Vans will attempt to provide a back-up vehicle.
• However, if a back-up vehicle is not available and your vehicle is not repairable within 24 hours, Cascade Adventure Vans will refund the remaining days in rental fees. Cascade Adventure Vans will not be responsible for additional costs associated to adjusting your plans and our liability is limited to the refund of any remaining rental days.
