FAQs

Are there any requirements to drive the campervan?

Yes, there's a few requirements of our Insurance provider:

are not under the age of 23 or over 75 years of age.
has held a full UK or EU licence for a minimum of two years.
has not had their licence suspended for any period within the last three years.
has not been involved in more than one fault incident within the last three years.

has not obtained a BA,DD or UT conviction.

Are Dogs Allowed in the campervan?

Yes of course! Well behaved 4 legged friends are welcome to join you on your break away at no extra charge.

Any Restrictions On where we can Drive?

Due to the age of Murdoch, we need to restrict his mileage to around 75 miles per day (average) so are unable to cater for long travel itineraries. If you're planning to do a long distance trip to somewhere like Scotland or Cornwall, we strongly recommend driving closer to your destination in a normal car and hire a van located in those regions.

How many people can fit in the campervan?

Murdoch has 4 seatbelts and it would be possible to install baby seats in the front passenger and one of the rear passenger seats (no isofix). For living space, its a squeeze with more than 2 adults, so we recommend adding the awning to give you some breathing space.

Just returned from an amazing weekend away in Murdoch the campervan. The van was immaculate and had everything we needed for a great camping trip away. It was so much fun pootling around the country roads, attracting waves and light flashed from fellow camper drivers. A lovely weekend we'll remember for a long time.
