Rules for Pintrip Membership

 

A Pintrip membership is personal 
This means that you buy a personal membership that you may not lend or transfer to others. In case of transfer or other fraud, the membership will be suspended and blocked. You are of course welcome to invite others to join you on a Pintrip experience, as long as you participate.

Who can buy a Pintrip membership?
Pintrip is ideal for users of self-contained vehicles, and all our hosts welcome motorhomes. Approximately 250 of our hosts also welcome rooftop tents, while around 130 hosts are open to caravans. If you are traveling without an onboard toilet, you should only stay overnight with hosts who provide 24-hour access to restroom facilities. This applies to about 80 hosts, marked with a WC icon.

Experiences – not free overnight stays – and no camping
A membership gives you the opportunity to have great experiences all over Denmark, where you also can park for free for 24 hours. Our hosts expect that you acquaint yourself with their place prior to your visit, so you know what kind of place it is and what the options are. An important part of Pintrip is the personal meeting between host and guest, and it is important that you choose the places you want to visit based on your own interests. In this way, you think on your fellow Pintrippers. Furthermore, it gives the best experiences for everyone involved.

Pintrip is not to be confused with camping. As a rule, do not take up more space than the size of your vehicle. With many hosts, however, you are welcome to roll out the awning, grill outside the vehicle etc., as long as you remember to ask the host if it is okay before you do. Ask the host before you use any facilities, and since you are staying privately, you should expect that for instance toilet/shower can also be used by hosts/staff/customers.

Collaboration between Pintrip and our hosts
