There are a variety of different vehicles available for hire, so it’s important to know what you need. Do you want something small and compact for exploring the country or do you need something larger to sleep in? You need to consider these things before booking your vehicle. For example, if you're looking at hiring a motorhome, then size will matter. The smallest motorhomes will sleep two people, the average ones will sleep up to four people, and the largest capacity models can sleep up to six. Not sure what size your family needs? Check out the size of the vehicle before deciding which one is best for you.
 
How to hire a motorhome or campervan
If you’re looking to hire a motorhome or campervan for your holiday, there are many great options available to you. There are lots of different companies that offer these vehicles for hire, whether it’s just for the day, the weekend, or for months at a time. Just like any other type of rental agreement, before renting you need to know all about the vehicle. Where will the vehicle be parked? How much space do you need inside? What is included in the hire? These are all important questions that you should ask before committing yourself.
One of the most important factors, especially if you want to travel with a family or large group of people, is how many beds there are in the vehicle. That might sound obvious but some vehicles have bunk beds and others have tents on top – which can make all the difference when trying to accommodate everyone who wants to come along! Another question worth asking is where exactly does your vehicle need to be parked? Is it going to be somewhere else while you travel around or do they drop it off near where you'll be staying? If not, then this might change what type of campervan would suit your needs best as some have storage space and others don't. Make sure that before you book that the details about what's included in your rates are clear as well as any restrictions that apply. For example, some vehicles have a limit on how far they can drive each day so check what those limits
