I was interested to read this which was written by American, Steve Hunt who quite famously did an 8 month long holiday as one of his motorhome tours in Europe. He says,

“Some people save money by free camping (camping in truck stops, beaches, and along the road) but I did so only in an emergency and don’t recommend it as a standard practice. Besides, you miss one of the big advantages of camping Europe. When you’re in a campground, it’s hard not to socialize and meet people. Fellow campers will be intrigued by the fact that you’re an American enjoying your motorhome tours in Europe. I can’t count the number of times I was invited over for a glass of wine and conversation. And if you are traveling with kids, you’ll be amazed how they communicate through body and sign language as if talking really didn’t matter.

Finding space in campgrounds is a lot easier than finding space in hotels (although at popular vacation destinations in July and August, it’s helpful to call ahead and reserve a spot). Not all campgrounds take reservations, so if the area campgrounds are crowded the best bet is to arrive early. I never made a reservation during my eight months of travel and was only turned away twice because a campground was full. In both cases, I got a spot at a neighboring site. I also tried to arrange my itinerary so I avoided crowded vacation destinations during the summer.

A good campground guide is essential for locating places where you want to stay. Another essential item to get before you leave is an International Camping Carnet card. This provides admittance to most campgrounds (in some cases at reduced rates) and is held by the campground instead of your passport. Don’t leave home without it.”

If your an American who is planning on motorhome tours in Europe then please get in touch. There are motorhomes available at all major UK airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick, which are perfect places to begin motorhome tours in Europe.

I’m guessing that if you are looking for motorhome rental by owner in a search engine then you are either:

• Somebody looking for cheaper motorhome rental than you would expect from a motorhome hire company.
• A motorhome owner trying to work out a way to make your motorhome work for you when you are not using it yourself, or
• Thinking about a way to start up your own motorhome rental business either using your own motorhome, multiple motorhomes that you own or a network of privately owned motorhomes.

Either way we can help, available on this site are some motorhomes that are privately owned, there is also information about ‘buy to let’ motorhomes and even a free ebook that you can download to give you all the information you need to start your own motorhome hire company! This may seem strange that a motorhome rental website offers this information, but the truth of the matter is that we can help and in turn, you can help us too.

The stumbling block with motorhome rental by owners is insurance. To buy insurance for a rental business is very very expensive and not just a stumbling block but a dead end. Motorholme get around this problem by ‘bulk buying’ motorhome insurance so they can obtain astonishing discounts. And there is no reason why these discounts cannot be passed onto you.

If you are interested in how the whole motorhome rental by owner deal works, please download the book or call us to find out more.

So you are considering  motorhome hire in France? Well you could – I have done it in the past and my experience has been OK, but really I find it easier to just hire one in the UK, here’s why:

When you hire a motorhome in France you usually pay for it in Euros and as you may have noticed you really don’t get many Euros to the Pound anymore, so it makes sense to spend your sterling in the UK and then go abroad.

Your luggage. So is your plan to take your car across to France and then transfer all your stuff into your motorhome? The problem here is that you find yourself leaving your car at vulnerable spots such as motorway service stations and ferry ports with much of your stuff very visible. Not good. I find it far better to pack up at your leisure in the UK and then drive to the ferry knowing that everything you need you have on board.

The french language. I speak OK french myself and I understand quite a lot too, but when it gets in the nitty gritty of insurance and terms and conditions, you can find yourself a bit lost. Hiring a motorhome in France could easily end up more expensive than you had hoped. If you decide to use Motorholme as your motorhome hire in France solution you will be given a 24 hour emergency number, should require any assistance.

It’s cheaper! Feel free to challenge us on this one but I am pretty sure you will find almost every company doing motorhome hire in France will be more expensive than a UK company such as Motorholme.

Call 0800 612 8719 to talk to us about motorhome hire in France.

Have you thought about getting away for Christmas? Well you could just head off to Europe, in a hired motorhome of course! Or you could explore some of the places in the UK that get just too busy in the summer. Here are a couple of ideas for Christmas Breaks in England.

Port Isaac. Well this has to be about one of the most famous coastal areas in the UK at the moment. It’s popularity mainly due to the fact that the Doc Martin TV Series is filmed there and everyone has fallen in love with the quaint town of Port Wenn (really Port Isaac) and it’s quirky folk. In real life of course Martin Clunes does not live there and the local inhabitants are quite sane, but don’t let that put you off – although you won’t be swimming in the sea at Christmas nearly all retaurants, pubs and cafes are all open as usual. It is also a lovely place and one of my favourite Christmas breaks in England.

How about London? You could base your self at the excellent campsite at Crystal Palace and enjoy London. There is so much to do at Christmas in London every year. What we love most is the way London empties on Christmas Eve when all the workers leave to see their families across the country. It’s always worth popping along to see the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree. Trafalgar Square benefits from a huge Christmas Tree each year as a present from Norway for the country’s help during the Second World War. The tree is usually over 20 meters high and 50-60 years old. The tree usually stays till the Twelfth Night of Christmas, 6 January, when it is taken down to be chipped and composted.
When? The lights are switched on in the evening on the first Thursday in December.

Do you think that motorhomes have nothing to do with Christmas breaks in England? Too cold? Not so, all modern motorhomes are fully winterized with blown air central heating, so being cold is not a problem. Call us on 0800 612 8719 and you can talk to us about hiring a motorhome for a Christmas break.

Few places inspire the romantic and champion within everyone like the beautifully rugged Scottish Highlands. We obviously think that you should do your Scotland Highlands Tour by motorhome, but that is your decision.

The Scottish Highlands are rich in ancient history and much more.  This area is known for warrior poets, and legendary for humour and sport, a journey through each nook and cranny of the Highlands could never disappoint. Unfortunately, many of the most beautiful locales in this scenic region are remote, rural, and without easy accommodation. Having one’s own place to stay, and with many comforts of home is the ideal way to see such a wondrous land. A Scotland Highlands Tour by motorhome is an excellent option for the self-guided traveller who wants to see it all.

When you’re not relying on hotel check-in and check-out times, or on the open hours of local eateries, the entire landscape is open to your whim. So, instead of blustering through town upon town, region after region, why not linger? Really delve deep into all the Highlands have to offer. Here are two great sites you won’t want to miss:

Inverness and Surrounds

All roads lead from here. Inverness remains the one true city of the Highlands and serves as a gateway to all that lay beyond. It is a hub of shops, dining, and an excellent place to stock up on supplies and ideas for the journey beyond the city’s edge. Be sure to veer south of town to the famous Loch Ness and try to catch a glimpse.

Northern Highlands

Let your campervan become a hiker’s base camp. No other area offers so much for those wanting a peaceful stroll through ancient countryside or a challenging hike across craggy hills. This is not the tourist track. The Northern Highlands are for serious travellers who want to see the landscape as it has always been. Explore caverns and lochs, fish for your evening’s meal. Savour the rawest meaning of what it is to be a Scot.

If you decide to make your Scotland Highlands Tour based on motorhome hire, call us on 0800 612 8719 and we can sort out which UK pick up point is going to be most convenient for you.

There is a freedom one can only grasp when you take the wheel in hand and set off on the wide open road. Unfortunately, the cost of owning your own touring vehicle such as your own motorhome, can be prohibitive. By enlisting the help of a Scotland motorhome hire company, you and yours can take to the road and find out just what Scotland has to offer.

School holidays may mean a break from the classroom, but they present the perfect opportunity for some real life education, fun, and family togetherness. A self-drive tour of this varied land can forge memories to last a lifetime, and the kids will have stories to tell the whole school year through.

Castles are the obvious choice for those wishing to inspire a love for history in a curious young mind. Scotland boasts some of the most majestic and significant castles in all of Europe. Dumfries and Galloway region is sure to impress with Caerlaverock Castle, encircled by moats and imposing to behold, and one can learn the fortress’s role in siege warfare along the Scottish-English border.

Scottish history is a roadmap of Europe with remnants left of both Roman and Norse/Viking peoples. With the freedom of a camper van, go off the beaten path and explore the many features of the great Antonine Wall, or follow the artistic breadcrumbs of British culture dotting the countryside.

By using a Scotland motorhome hire company you will save money. The money saved on accommodation and extras allows room in the budget for events and activities. Bring history to life on the banks of Loch Ness where 17th century battles are reborn. Meet heroes and villains alike on the steps of Stirling Castle, where Robert the Bruce and William Wallace await your presence.

Whether it’s churches or mountains, gardens or battlefields, the rich history of the Scottish land lays down at your feet-and beneath your wheels-when you take the keys in hand and set off on your journey to the past.

You can look for a dedicated Scotland motorhome hire company, but none will have the vast range that Motorholme have to offer, with 17 pick up locations you can be sure there will be vehicle that is convenient for you.

Do you fancy a holiday in Scotland? What can be more relaxing, except maybe to hire a motorhome in Scotland. Why not? The roads is Scotland are easy to drive and the lack of traffic makes traveling through Scotland a relaxing holiday.

Scotland is home to some of the most ancient castles in the world, and a holiday is not the same if you don’t see at least a few of them. To hire a motorhome in Scotland is great fun and when you are there you must see these four castles.

Caerlaverock Castle

This castle was built sometime in the 13th century and is a very popular tourist spot. The moat gives it a very “castle” feeling. It is triangle in shape, making it quite unique in appearance. The sheer beauty of this castle brings many happy couples and marks the spot of many weddings.

Stirling Castle

This is one of the largest castles in all of Scotland. It is surrounded by three steep cliffs, giving it its defensive position and its gorgeous views. It sits atop Caste Hill, a volcanic crag. This is where Mary Queen of Scots was crowned.

Urquhart Castle

The castle is now just a ruin, it was once a magnificent structure. The castle was built some time back in the 1200s–no one knows exactly when it was built. How can you visit Scotland and not see the home of the “Loch Ness Monster”? There is a gift shop there for now if you want to gift some “Nessie” memorabilia.

Edinburgh Castle

This castle is one of the oldest castles in the world and the most popular in Scotland. The architecture brings tourists from around the world to see its royal palace and great hall. The battle scenes, restaurants, and canons bring visitors daily. The views alone would make this a must-stop, but who can resist the re-enactments?

Glastonbury motorhome tips for 2010.

Levelling blocks can be handy if you don’t like sleeping on an angle, but planks (or very thick cardboard) under the wheels as you park up are essential in case it turns muddy.

You are unlikely to have much choice about where you park, so if you want to camp with mates, meet them and their motorhome well away from the site and drive in together.

It can be a long walk from motorhome to inside the festival, so travel light and stay out for the day. Wear your key on your body so you don’t lose it. Whatever the passout system is, look after it very carefully.

Don’t move your motorhome around in the dark. Be extra vigilant about fire risks. Turn the gas off at the top of the cylinder as well as turning the cooker off. Don’t use flares or garden candles near motorhomes. No camp fires. Barbecues are OK as long as you keep them off the ground and well out of the way of vehicles.

Look after you battery. Best of all, just try and run everything from the leisure battery and not the vehicle battery. Run the fridge on gas.

Take plenty of bin bags – you can put your wet stuff in them to stop water making a mess of your motorhome, you can always sit on them if it’s muddy too. There are toilet blocks in every Motorhome field, (and most likely somewhere where you can get tea, coffee and bacon rolls from too), so it’s not far to walk. Please don’t pee in the hedges.

One of the most important of all Glastonbury motorhome tips is about staying healthy.  As elsewhere at Glastonbury, take care about food hygiene – if you’re bringing your own food, make sure you keep it and cook it properly, and wash your hands before eating – you don’t want to ruin your festival with a bug. Bag up all your rubbish and leave it at the collection points when you leave.

If you have any other good Glastonbury motorhome tips please comment on this post, we would love to hear from you.
