Stand up, stretch out, and make a proper breakfast with hot water on tap.
The Awe is a fully electric, high-roof Ford E-Transit, and a real home on the road. There's room to stand, a fixed bed that's always made, and plenty of space for slow mornings and long views. It seats three, sleeps four, and takes its name from Loch Awe, Scotland's longest freshwater loch.
Before you request to book, please read DRIVERS, COVER AND COSTS at the end. If any driver might not meet the rules there, message us here first and we'll gladly check.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Stand up inside. Get dressed and cook without stooping.
- A bed that's always made. Plus a second double that pulls out from the bench.
- A proper kitchen. A double induction hob, a fridge, and hot and cold water.
- An included waterless toilet. A Tiny Toilet, behind its own door.
- An outdoor shower point for muddy boots.
- Warm or cool. Heating and air conditioning in the living area.
- Power for the off-grid nights. 5 kWh of leisure power with 400 W of solar, and an outdoor power outlet.
- A garage for your gear. Boots and bags go under the bed, out of the way. There's no bike rack, but bikes can travel inside.
- Little luxuries. Apple TV for a rainy evening, unlimited Wi-Fi over 4G/5G (signal permitting), Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and phone controls for lights and power.
GOING ELECTRIC
The Awe goes about 100–150 miles on a full charge, depending on weather, speed, hills, load and heating, with about 20–30% less range in the cold. Pair that with a rapid charger, which can take it from 20% to 80% in under 30 minutes, and a lunch stop is often all you need. Or charge on a campsite, through the camper's own hook-up system (a slow charge, roughly 30% of the battery in 24 hours). Every UK Camping and Caravanning Club Site except Skye lets you do that on a hook-up pitch at no extra cost on top of the pitch fee. We'll show you how it all works at handover, and we're on hand 24/7 if you need us.
WHAT COMES WITH IT
Insurance and breakdown cover, unlimited UK mileage and 24/7 support. An amenity kit for each traveller (sleeping bag, pillow, bath towel, blanket, camping chair, tea and coffee), plus kitchen, cleaning, safety and toilet packs. And up to 30% off Camping and Caravanning Club Sites through the hire scheme.
Collect near Edinburgh from 15:00, at one of our collection points or with kerbside delivery within 30 minutes of our base, and return by 11:00.
DRIVERS, COVER AND COSTS: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK
WHO CAN DRIVE
Every driver must be aged 25 to 78 on the collection date, with a full licence held for at least 2 years. UK, EU, Australian and New Zealand licences are standard. A USA, Canadian or South African licence is accepted only with at least 2 weeks of qualifying UK driving in the last 2 years. For these, or any other licence, message us before you book, so we can check it meets our insurer's rules.
Our insurer can't accept anyone who has had: more than one fault accident in the last 3 years; a drink or drug driving (DR, DG, DD) or IN conviction in the last 3 years; any other major conviction in the last 2 years; or motor insurance declined, cancelled, refused at renewal or on special terms. Nor anyone in professional entertainment or sport, a jockey, or anyone connected with racing, gaming or the press. Some other histories need our insurer's approval.
Only approved drivers can drive.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Please message us here before you book, to confirm every driver meets the rules above, and tell us if anything might not fit: a licence from outside the UK, EU, Australia or New Zealand, an accident or claim in the last 3 years, a motoring conviction, or a past insurance problem. A short description is enough. Please don't send licence details or documents in messages: we collect those securely once your booking is confirmed.
IF A DRIVER CAN'T BE APPROVED
If a driver doesn't meet the rules above, or what you told us wasn't correct, that driver can't drive. If that leaves no approved driver, we can't hand over the camper, and you'd need to cancel under the cancellation policy in your GoBoony booking. If you told us everything correctly and we still can't go ahead, including because our insurer refuses, we'll cancel and you'll be refunded in full.
WHERE YOU CAN DRIVE
Your cover is for Great Britain (including the Scottish islands) & Northern Ireland.
Anywhere else, including the Republic of Ireland, needs our written confirmation before your hire, and every driver going must be a UK resident. Please ask when you book, and at least 14 days before you leave, so there's time for the VE103 certificate. Our insurer may charge an extra premium, which you pay us before you travel. We'll tell you the amount before you decide. Without our written confirmation, the camper isn't insured there.
Ferries are fine: this camper is classed as a van, so the fare is higher than for a car.
No off-road driving. Please stay on a campsite or where the landowner has said yes.
CHECK-IN
Once your booking is confirmed, we'll send you a secure online check-in. Every driver adds their details, answers our insurer's questions, uploads their documents at least 3 days before collection, and signs the hire agreement. Each driver also makes the £1 insurer check there. You'll see the full hire agreement before you sign.
Each driver needs a photocard licence, a DVLA check code (mainland UK licences) and 2 proofs of address dated within 90 days of the end of your hire. Non-UK licences also need a passport and a signed statement of claims and convictions in the last 5 years.
CHARGING: THE DETAILS
The driving battery only charges at a charge point, or on a campsite through the camper's own hook-up system. It doesn't charge while you drive, and the solar only charges the leisure battery. We aim to hand over the camper with at least 70% charge (it may be lower with kerbside delivery). Charging costs are yours: pay at each charger with your own card or app, or add our optional charging card, a paid extra that covers most public chargers. Electric touring takes more planning than diesel, so plan your charging stops. Range and charging times vary, and chargers can be busy or out of order, so always keep a back-up in mind.
THE CAMPER
5.98 m long and 2.54 m high, so it's too tall for most car park height barriers.
COSTS YOU PAY TO US DIRECTLY
- £1 insurer check, for every driver, you included: a £1 payment from a card in your own name. Our insurer requires it as a traceable record, so it isn't refunded.
- Additional drivers: the first has no driver fee, just the £1 insurer check. Each further driver has a £50 driver fee, plus the £1 insurer check.
- Charging card and statement (optional, not included in the hire): £7.50 for 2–4 nights, £10 for 5–7, £15 for 8–13, £20 for 14 or more, including VAT. You pay for your charging on top, at exactly what the network charges, on an itemised statement about 7 days after your hire, taken from the card you save when you add it. Without it, you pay each charger with your own card or app.
- Kerbside delivery and collection (optional): from £20, depending on your address.
- Early collection or late return (optional), between 08:00 and 23:30: a fee per time slot, if the camper is available.
- Travel outside the cover area: any extra premium from our insurer, as above.
- Fines, tolls and charges during your hire are yours, including parking fines, low-emission-zone charges and charger overstay fees. Where the law allows, we transfer them to you. Otherwise we pay them and charge you exactly what we paid, with no admin fee.
Prices for optional extras are shown before you pay, on your booking page.
CHARGES AT RETURN
Agreed on the GoBoony form at return and collected through GoBoony: below 40% charge £30; late return up to £250; smoking, vaping or pet traces up to £250; lost charging card £25; and an unemptied toilet, extra cleaning, damage and other lost items.
