Why are some dates greyed out or marked with red lines on the calendar?

When viewing a campervan’s availability calendar, you may notice that certain dates appear differently. These indicators help show when the campervan can and cannot be booked.


Greyed-out dates

If dates are greyed out, this means the campervan is not available to book for those dates.


This may be because:

  • The campervan is already booked
  • The owner has marked the vehicle as unavailable
  • The owner is not accepting bookings during that period

Greyed-out dates cannot be selected for pick-up or drop-off.


Dates with red lines

If you see dates with red lines across them, this indicates that the owner is unable to accommodate a pick-up or drop-off on those specific dates.


However, the campervan may still be available to hire either side of those dates.


For example:

  • You may be able to collect the campervan before the red-lined date and return it after
  • You may be able to start or end your trip on alternative nearby dates

These red-lined dates are typically due to owner availability restrictions rather than the campervan being fully booked.


If you are unsure whether your desired dates are possible, we recommend selecting your preferred dates in the calendar to check availability. If you need further clarification, please contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.
