Are there any kind of restrictions? What should I pack with me? So we’re here to put your mind at ease and we have compiled a list of everything you need to know to in order to book your road trip with Rolling Turtles. If you still can’t find the answer, you can always contact us and we will be happy to assist you further.
The Coronavirus crisis has affected the whole planet. Rolling Turtles is offering campervans in Greece, which is currently one of the countries with a very low case and death rate. For more details, please check the official Johns Hopkins statistics website.
Given the circumstances, we hope that Greece will be available soon to travel to and spend your vacations. As we are still learning each day from the WHO and the ministries of each country how to live with this new situation, we have updated our cleaning policy for our own’s and our customers’ safety.
For protection reasons due to the Coronavirus we decided to disinfect and clean each vehicle inside out by ourselves after dropped off from each renter. The rules regarding the garbage and the fridge and toilet/wc still apply.
We added 3 more ways to be protected by Covid-19, during our booking process:
1. After each drop off of a vehicle, we do not touch it for 3 days, so that we can be sure that there are no viruses left on any surface.
2. Before the actual cleaning we first disinfect with special cleansers the whole vehicle inside out, as well as any rented extra equipment, wearing a protective suit inclusive mask and gloves. We give extra attention to the surfaces all people touch, such as door handles, the wheel, window openers, etc. In this way we can control that no virus contact can be established between the travellers, or ourselves. After the disinfection we throw away the used suit, mask and gloves in a closed bag.
3. After the disinfection we start with the normal cleaning of the vehicle, inside out. At this step our stuff still wears a protection mask and gloves, but no protective suit.
4. All the procedure during pick up and drop off, between our staff and the renters, is now contactless, to avoid spreading of the coronavirus, while all our staff is keeping the suggested safety distance of 2 meters. Any vehicle introduction needed is now provided with videos sent to renters before their reservation.
