Who are we?

About EV Camper Company

EV Camper Company strives to lead the way in sustainable, luxury camping, offering an eco-friendly travel option without compromising comfort. Our mission is to provide unforgettable travel experiences in harmony with the environment.

EVCC campervans are 100% electric, promoting zero-emission travel and helping reduce the carbon footprint of road trips. We extend our commitment to sustainability by sourcing local products, from the hand soap to the cleaning products used in our campervans. Moreover, our onboard toilets are chemical-free, offering a more sustainable and less odorous alternative to traditional cassette toilets. This approach ensures that we make the great outdoors accessible in a manner that safeguards it for future generations while providing a superior and eco-friendly travel experience.

EVCC campervans are designed with luxury and convenience in mind. Each vehicle offers state-of-the-art amenities, automated features, and a seamless driving experience, all while being completely electric, aligning with our vision of modern, sustainable glampervanning.

Making a booking?

The Booking Process

Booking is simple and can be done directly through our website. Select your preferred dates and adventure type, and add any additional enhancements. Confirmation is immediate, and we'll arrange everything you need for your adventure.

We offer two adventure types tailored to your travel needs:

Non-Refundable Adventure: Our cheapest option to secure your adventure. You secure your dates with a 100% deposit paid at the time of booking and this booking type can't be modified for free.

Refundable Adventure: Our most flexible adventure type for peace of mind if plans change. Secure your dates with a 10% deposit with the final 90% due 30 days before pick up. Modify your dates as much as you need before your final payment date.

Full details can be found in our Hire Agreement here.

To hire from us, you'll need to provide:

  • A copy of your photo card, driver's licence (must be up-to-date and match the address you provide).
  • A DVLA licence check for UK licences.
  • Two forms of proof of address from separate sources.
  • A copy of the photo card of your passport for non UK drivers.
  • A cleared, traceable payment made via our website in the name of the main driver.
  • A signed rental agreement.
  • If you plan to drive within the EU, you must have written confirmation from us, and we will provide you with a VE103 certificate.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable journey, drivers must be between 25 and 79 years old and have at least 2 years of driving experience. Our insurance accommodates up to two minor 3-point convictions without referral.

Please contact us if you're unsure, and we can confirm with our insurance provider.

We prioritise your peace of mind. All hires have a £2000 security deposit that will be charged in the event of an insurance claim. There's an increased excess for specified drivers, particularly those aged 76 to 79, and for windscreen damage. Please note, for any damages, our policy requires an excess of £2000.

When booking, you may use our security deposit waiver. This reduces your liability down to £1 (charged at pick up to a card in the main driver's name). 

A £2000 security deposit will be pre-authorised on the main driver's credit or debit card. This is a precautionary hold to cover any potential incidents, ensuring both you and EVCC are protected. You must present a card at pickup in the name of the main driver on the booking. 

If you have opted for our security waiver addon, the main driver must still present a card for a £1 authorisation.

Absolutely, just let us know before you go! Please make sure you have the necessary documents for your destination. Check gov.uk for driving abroad and secure a VE103 certificate from us. Our insurance covers you across the EU, with a generous third-party property damage limit for comprehensive protection.

Failure to gain our written permission will result in the termination of your hire. 

Should an incident occur, you're supported with EU-wide breakdown cover, and in the case of a claim, you're responsible for up to £2000 (unless you have taken our security waiver), with EV Camper Company covering any additional costs. For added security and to assist in the event of an incident, our campers are fitted with front and rear dashcams that must remain active throughout the hire. If the dashcams are disconnected, the hirer may be held liable for the entirety of the claim. Additionally, our campers are equipped with tracking devices to ensure your safety and the security of the vehicle. This system is in place to provide assistance promptly if needed and is only used in accordance with our privacy policy.

Adventures with EVCC?

Your EVCC Adventure

EVCC is dedicated to providing a seamless and luxurious glamping experience. Our electric campers are not only eco-friendly but also come with modern amenities and comforts that cater to the needs of the contemporary traveller. With features like automated systems, a MoodPad for easy control, and on-board 4G WiFi, we ensure you can focus on creating unforgettable memories that are shareable ready.

Embracing the electric revolution in campervanning is exciting and straightforward. At pick-up, we provide a comprehensive handover that includes guidance on operating the vehicle, using charging stations, and handling cables and RFID cards. The camper is equipped with a MoodPad featuring apps to help you plan your journey with suitable charging stops. We highly recommend installing 'Octopus Electroverse' on your device prior to handover. Our team can help set up the app for the camper and will walk you through using it. The app takes care of all the route and charging planning for you.

We supply you with an RFID card from Octopus Electroverse, which you can use to redeem any included charging credit; additional usage will be deducted from your security deposit. If the security waiver is taken, you will be requested to pay for any charging sessions at the end of your adventure.

Though our campers are designed to prevent running out of charge, our 24/7 support team and inclusive breakdown cover are there for your peace of mind — even in the rare case of depleting the battery.

For optimal performance, we recommend charging the campervan to 100%, as the onboard battery management system is engineered to balance the battery pack efficiently. To maintain the health of the battery, try to avoid letting the charge drop below 20%. The camper will alert you with audible and visual signals when the charge is low, and immediate charging is necessary when the "Fuel light" indicates that only 10% remains.

Yes, you are free to explore the beauty of the UK from the Scottish Highlands to the coastlines of Cornwall. Our campervans are designed for the diverse UK roads. If you wish to venture into Europe, let us know in advance so we can prepare the necessary documentation and make sure you're fully covered.

Our onboard technology, including the Mood Tablet and 4G WiFi, is there to enhance your travel experience. Stay connected with loved ones, find the best routes, and access essential travel information at your fingertips. Plus, the dashcams offer peace of mind so you can enjoy the journey worry-free.

While our campervans are versatile, we do have guidelines to ensure they are used within the terms of hire. All campervans are fitted with tracking devices to aid in vehicle recovery and ensure compliance with hire conditions. Always check with us if you plan to take the campervan on ferries, into remote areas, or outside the UK.

To facilitate a hassle-free return, simply follow these guidelines:

  • We're flexible about a bit of dirt from your travels; however, please ensure that both compartments of the toilet are empty and clean to avoid a fee of £200 per compartment.
  • A full inventory check will be conducted both pre-hire and upon return to ensure all is in order.
  • For your convenience, we'll arrange a return time and location within 30 miles of Edinburgh that suits you. Should there be any delays in your return, just let us know as soon as possible so we can accommodate the changes.
  • We ask that the camper has at least 30% state of charge for our collection to ensure we can reach a charging station if required.

Your cooperation helps us ensure that each camper is ready for the next adventure and provides a seamless experience for all our customers.

Looking for support?

Support & Safety

As a family-run business, we take pride in offering personalised support to ensure you have the best possible adventure. You can reach out to us 24/7 during your hire. On the off chance that we're momentarily unavailable, rest assured we will get back to you as soon as possible. Alongside our direct support, we provide all necessary contact information for our insurance provider and breakdown services, so you're never alone, no matter where your journey takes you. We're not just providing a campervan; we're here to support your entire EV Camper Company experience.

In the unlikely event of a breakdown or emergency, your safety is our foremost concern. Please ensure you're in a safe location before contacting our breakdown provider, whose number and policy details can be found in the cabin library. Once safe, inform them of your situation, and they will provide you with the necessary assistance. Simultaneously, let us know about the incident so we can support you alongside our partners.

In case of an emergency or breakdown, follow these best practices:

  • Move the camper to a safe place away from traffic, if possible.
  • Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
  • Use the safety triangle and hi-vis vest found in the rear. Place the warning triangle at an appropriate distance to warn oncoming vehicles.
  • Avoid attempting repairs on busy roads or if it puts you at risk.
  • Stay with the camper if it's safe to do so until help arrives.
  • If you must leave the camper, keep a safe distance from traffic and the camper.
  • Always prioritise the safety of yourself and your passengers over the camper's security or recovery.

Remember, assistance is available to ensure your trip continues smoothly, and we’re here to guide you through any steps during the process.

Absolutely. We understand that driving an electric vehicle may be a new experience for some. That's why we provide a thorough handover at the start of your hire to walk you through everything you need to know. Our campervans are user-friendly, and the in-vehicle technology is designed to make your transition to electric driving smooth and enjoyable.

We are always here to help throughout your EVCC experience.

Before you set off, and after you return, our campervans undergo a detailed inspection to ensure everything is functioning correctly. This includes checking the tire pressure, battery health, and all safety systems. Our preventive maintenance schedule ensures that each camper is reliable and roadworthy for your peace of mind.

What are your policies?

EVCC Policy

We love pets and welcome your furry friends on board! We just ask that pets stay off the furniture and that you bring along a pet bed for their comfort. Please ensure you return the camper free of pet hair and odors to avoid additional cleaning fees.

For the safety of your little ones, the Lomond campervan is equipped with 2 ISOFIX rear mounting points for child seats. The Awe only has seatbelt restraints for passengers. While we recommend bringing your own child seat to fit your specific safety standards and comfort, we do have a limited range available upon request.

At handover, our team will walk you around the camper to inspect for any damage and make a note. You will then be required to present a debit or credit card in the name of the main driver for your agreed-upon security deposit. This will be taken as a preauthorisation on the card. Each additional driver will also have to present a debit or credit card in their name for a £1 transaction to activate their insurance. 

This security deposit is held throughout your adventure and will be fully released post-hire, assuming there are no claims or damages. Please note that in the event of any claim, the security deposit from the main driver will be utilised, regardless of which driver was at fault. We aim to make this process as straightforward as possible to ensure a smooth start to your EV Camper Company experience.

We expect the campervan to be returned in a respectable state. A bit of dirt from your adventures is understandable, but please empty and clean both toilet compartments to avoid a £200 fee per compartment. General waste should be disposed of properly, and the camper should be tidy.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, leading you to cancel your booking. Our cancellation policy is as follows depending on your Adventure type:

  • Nonrefundable Adventure
    • When booking, a 100% deposit is taken. If cancelled, this will be forfeited.
    • Modification might be possible for an additional fee; please get in touch with the team for assistance.

  • Refundable Adventure
    • If you cancel 30 days or more before the pickup date, you will forfeit 10% of the total hire rate, with any other payments returned to you.
    • If you cancel between 29 and 15 days before the pickup date, 25% of the total hire rate will be forfeited, with any other payments returned.
    • If you cancel between 15 and 1 day/s before the pickup date, 50% of the total hire rate will be forfeited.
    • If you cancel less than 1 day before the pickup date, 100% of the total hire rate will be forfeited.
    • You may modify your booking up to 30 days before pickup free of charge. Any increase in fare will need to be paid, and any reduction will be refunded where required.
These conditions are part of our hire agreement, which aims to be fair while ensuring we can manage our fleet effectively for all customers. For more detailed information, please refer to our hire agreement.

Our campervans are built for adventure, and you're welcome to explore the UK and even venture into Europe with prior agreement. However, please note that all our campervans are fitted with tracking devices, and for safety and insurance reasons, we may restrict travel to certain areas or under specific conditions.

We understand that unexpected delays can occur. If you anticipate a late return, please let us know as soon as possible so we can adjust our schedules accordingly. Depending on the situation, additional charges may apply as per our hire agreement.
