We specialise in self-drive camper van hire for UK and European travel alongside conversions and maintenance. Any personal information provided to or gathered by us is controlled by Suffolk Campers.
What information do we collect
When you make a camper van hire booking or request a quote, you will be asked for the relevant pieces of information required to fulfil the camper van hire services requested and to obtain insurance; this may include the main driver’s name, age, contact details (email, address and telephone number), date and place of birth, passport information, driving licence information and payment information. When you request a quote, you will be asked for basic pieces of information and contact details (email, address and telephone number). We will email you with relevant information about renting a motorhome.

If you are using a mobile device, we might also collect data that identifies your mobile device, device-specific settings and characteristics and latitude/longitude details. None of this information by itself will be able to tell us who you are, but it can still considered to be ‘personal’ information.
