If you decide to rent your RV or your Van, you have no control over who is going to use your vehicle, or how.

Also, if you rent your Motorhome or campervan commercially, you will have to pay a lot of taxes, your insurance won’t cover you for any damage since it’s a commercial activity, and in some countries, you need to register as an enterprise to be able to legally rent a vehicle for profit.

We encourage you to make sure you are covered with your insurance company before doing any vehicle exchange. Most companies will get you covered if you let your vehicle to a friend with no commercial interest, and that’s exactly what Swap My Van is.

We recommend that both parties sign a temporary exchange contract that includes a copy of the driver’s passport. Always make sure to know who you are swapping with, you should both get identified with your passport or similar documents. You can download a sample contract here (Please note we take no responsibility for this contract, which is provided only as an example, use it under your responsibility or write your own). This document will also be useful if you get pulled over by the police while driving the other person vehicle.
