Your rental vehicle must be returned cleaned inside (swept, vacuumed, and wiped) and with a full tank of fuel and AdBlue (if your camper is equipped with an AdBlue tank) to the location where you picked it up. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to return your rental vehicle to another location. You can usually find a petrol station near our locations.

Please note that the toilet and water tanks must be empty. If you are on your way back and are looking for a waste disposal station to fill up with fresh water, dispose of waste water and empty the toilet, then take a look here.

When you return the vehicle, simply hand the key back to one of our staff members, who will briefly check the vehicle for damage and that all the equipment is there. After a few minutes of waiting, everything is done for you. Our team will receive the vehicle for an it’s deep cleaning.

Hygiene Standards at the roadsurfer Stations

Our roadsurfer campers are always “clean & ready”:  All our vehicles are carefully prepared and completely cleaned inside and out. We use freshly washed (60°) towels for each vehicle and special brand products from Sonax to clean the inside of the vehicle. This eliminates 90% of the surface germs and it helps us to ensure complete cleanliness without the use of dangerous chemicals.

Hygienic Deep Clean: After cleaning, all contact surfaces (e.g. steering wheel, door handles, controls, etc.) are also carefully treated with skin-friendly disinfectants.

Safety on site: All contact surfaces (incl. vehicle keys etc.) at our station are regularly disinfected. There is sufficient disinfectant available.
