If you are considering a motorhome hire holiday, then of course we would like you to use our motorhome hire company. Motorholme are the UK’s largest motorhome hire fleet and we believe that we can offer you the best service and the best value for money so that your holiday is perfect. However there are a few things you should consider.
Plan your trip. It really is best to plan a motorhome holiday in order to get the best out of it. When you are looking at a map of the country you are touring, remember the
distances involved and the amount of time it will take to travel from one place to another. This is not the same as rushing around in a car, you will want to savour the high points and take your time.
We suggest that you book at least the first two nights of your trip at a camp site in advance. During the summer, camp sites book up very quickly. It’s best to book the first two
nights or so, when you book your motorhome, that way you can relax, knowing that you have a place to stay for at least the first couple of days.
When you hire a motorhome, you have a limited amount of space, so your rigid suitcases can really get in the way! Better to bring your clothes in a soft bag or rucksack which you can easily store away using the minimum amount of space. On a camping holiday, you do not need lots of changes of clothing or large toys, gadgets etc. This is a time to bring families together and games such as cards, colouring books, a few CD’s or an ipod, are ideal and take up very little space.
Use the camp site facilities where possible. Although a motorhome has a toilet, shower, hot water etc. they do not compare with the facilities you will find on most camp sites. It’s much better to use the site facilities wherever possible – it keeps the motorhome cleaner and you’ll have less to do when you want to move on. Most sites provide mains power hook up and when you connect to their power supply, switch the fridge and the heater over to running on mains electric, rather than using your gas.
What about breakdowns? Well breakdowns are no longer common in modern well maintained vehicles, but they do happen occassionally. However Motorholme have a dedicated 24 hour, “worry free” help line that you can call if you have any sort of problem. Included in the motorhome hire fee is full UK and EU vehicle breakdown cover. In the unlikely event of a breakdown, Motorholme request that the hirer seeks the help of the the appropriate breakdown company quoting the registration number of the vehicle. Hirers are authorised to request repairs up to the value of £50. Repairs costing in excess of £50 must first be authorised by Motorholme before the work is begun. In reality this rarely happens and when it does it all happens very smoothly due to the helpline.
