First Time Motorhome Hire
Motorhomes for hire come in all shapes, sizes and prices.
The trick is to find a motorhome to suit your requirements and
budget. Smaller vans are easier to handle, but larger vans
offer more comfort. If it's your first time, I suggest you go for
the largest van that you feel happy to drive, within your
budget. There are a few styles of motorhome to choose from.
A hightop is basically a van conversion with a specially made
high fixed roof. These come in various lengths, short, medium
and long. These sizes refer to the wheelbase, which is the
distance between the front and rear axle. Motohomes with a
medium wheelbase are popular hire choices as they are
easier to handle than the long wheelbase versions, whilst still
offering a good degree of comfort. Some companies also
offer motorhome hire with folding roofs. The above types of
motorhomes are often referred to as camper vans.
Coachbuilt motorhomes (C class) are generally a lot larger
than campers and are more like a house on wheels. Most will
have all the comforts of home and often a double bed. Many
of the designs have a bed area which sits over the top of the
drivers cab. These motorhomes can be expensive to run and
hire.
Fuel costs are a definite consideration for many when
deciding to hire a motorhome. This problem has been taken
on board by the rental companies and manufacturers. Many
motorhome hire companies now offer vans with conversions
to LPG. This should
at least half your fuel costs.
Don't overstretch your budget on the motorhome hire cost.
Part of the enjoyment of the motorhome is being able to visit
and enjoy new places. If you are a couple, a medium
wheelbase motorhome should provide you with a good
overall comfort levels and ease of use.
One thing I should mention is that insurance cover for
motorhome hire can be expensive and you should know up
front exactly what you are covered for. Take time to review the
policy. Remember to comply with most insurance policies
you should carry out the daily maintenance tasks on the
motorhome as specified by your rental agent.
You've booked the motorhome hire, now what.
Well it really depends on what type of holiday you are looking
for. If you are using the motorhome as a base to visit new
places then to get the most out of your hire, it's always a good
idea to plan your route in advance. This means that you will
know each day where you are going and don't waste any time
deciding where to go while on your holiday. Of course for
some, there will be no route and hiring a motorhome is all
about the open road with a new adventure each day.
