Fully comprehensive cover and roadside Comprehensive insurance for the first driver, plus national roadside support with full relay back to the Glasgow depot if you need it.
Roll off the Mull ferry, pull into the first lay-by, and the kettle’s on before the rest of the boat catches up. The bed is made. The maps are in the door pocket. Most of what you need for the trip (Highlands, Hebrides, the Lake District, an event weekend) is already in the van when you collect it from the Glasgow depot: insurance, roadside cover, the kitchen, the gas, and the membership card that knocks 25% off campsite pitch fees. Below is what comes as standard, what you can add at booking, and how the insurance works in plain English.
What comes as standard
Unlimited mileage on hires of six days or more Six days or longer, drive as far as the trip needs. On shorter hires, mileage is a paid add-on you can choose at booking
Gas, water and power, ready to go One gas cylinder more than a third full, a 240v hook-up cable, water hose, fire extinguisher and fire blanket. A second cylinder is on the extras list.
Major Campsite Operators Discounts 25%+ discount at the Camping and Caravanning Club. £15 per night discount at Caravan and Motorhome Club.
The kitchen and living kit
To cook with
Enough to cook a proper dinner, brew the morning coffee and clear up after both, without a side trip to a supermarket on day one.
- Hot kit. Kettle, saucepans and frying pan.
- Prep kit. Gas hob igniter, cooking utensils, chopping board, colander.
- Openers. Bottle opener and tin opener.
To eat with
- Table for four. Plates, cups, bowls, glasses and cutlery.
To clean with
- Washing-up. Liquid, sponges, multi-purpose cleaner, tea towel.
- Tidying up. Brush and tray set, bin bags.
- Loo essentials. Toilet roll and toilet chemical.
To find your way
- Paper backup. Road atlas, campsite guide and Ordnance Survey-style maps.
- Long evenings. TV and DVD player in the motorhomes.
Optional extras you can add at booking
Pick what’s useful for your trip. Nothing is bundled in by default, so the quote stays honest.
- Bedding and towels. Sheets, duvet, pillows, bath towels.
- Camping chairs and a picnic table. Folded into the boot, ready for the first layby.
- Bike racks and bike hire. Mountain bikes if you don’t have your own.
- BBQ. For the long summer evenings on the west coast.
- Second gas cylinder. Worth it on longer or colder trips.
- Parking your car at the depot. Per night, while you’re away.
- Mileage allowance. Add it to hires of fewer than six days.
Bringing the dog
The whole Atlas fleet is pet-friendly, so there’s no separate pet vehicle to ask for. A single cleaning fee per hire covers the post-trip pet clean (flat, not per night).
Bring your dog’s own bed, bowls, blankets and towels: Atlas doesn’t supply pet kit, and most dogs settle faster with their own things anyway.
One thing worth flagging at handover: Achmelvich beach (the white-sand one in the north-west) bans dogs from 1 May to 30 September under the Highland Council PSPO. The team will know the current rules on whichever route you’re planning.
Insurance, in plain English
The standard policy is fully comprehensive for the first driver. The excess is £2,000, which we pre-authorise on a credit card at collection; no funds are actually taken unless something happens. Windscreens and tyres sit outside the standard cover, but are included in one of the upgrades below.
Three optional upgrades, all priced live in the quote:
- Add up to three additional drivers. Each one named and covered the same as the first.
- Collision damage waiver. Reduces the excess to £750 or £250.
- Glass and tyre cover. Adds windscreen, tyres and wing mirrors to the policy.
If you’d rather talk it through, discuss with any of our Johns or Richard, and we will walk you through what each upgrade covers and what it doesn’t.
