Why hire a campervan?

There are a great deal of benefits to a campervan holiday, so here we present a list of some of the main ones. For a start, you can simply get far more done in a day if you are enjoying a campervan holiday as opposed to a camping holiday (by which we mean a holiday using a tent). This is because you don’t have to pitch a tent at each site you stop at. It might only take an hour or so to put and up take down a tent, but this adds up over many days, and you are ultimately eating into your holiday with this mundane and repetitive task. Also, if you happen to be visiting a country with lenient rights on parking up and sleeping anywhere, you are far less reliant on campsites, which again saves you time as you are not having to detour to unnecessarily stop at a campsite.

An additional reason to hire a campervan is the comfort factor. Campervans nowadays are comfortable machines with lots of space and all the latest mod cons – they will may well come with air conditioning and heating, sound systems, cooking space, toilets and so on. Of course, classic campervans probably won’t offer all this, but then you are hiring a vehicle like that for the beauty of the campervan itself, not the latest gizmos. Ultimately, your campervan is likely to be very comfortable indeed, and a home away from home. You may find it more comfortable than a hotel, and certainly more comfortable than a tent, with all the added benefits that it serves as your transport as well.

Another enormous benefit of hiring a campervan for your trip is the freedom it offers. Not just the freedom of the open road, which is of course significant, but also the freedom to be able to pitch up and set off whenever you want. For example, say you’ve found a great part of the country you’re in and you want to stay a bit longer – well, with a campervan this couldn’t be much easier, you simply decide to stay. Similarly, if you’re not as fond of a place as you thought you would be, you can up and leave any time. This is most definitely not the case if you choose to stay in a hotel or airbnb, as you will be tied into the schedule you agreed at the start of the holiday and will incur penalties if you try to deviate from that.

A further benefit, and one that may surprise you, is that a campervan holiday is not all that expensive, when you add together all the separate costs that you would be paying if you were on a conventional holiday. For example, a normal and equivalent holiday would require car hire, hotels and generally eating out, or at least at the hotel. However, with a campervan, you can combine all those costs into one vehicle, and larger vehicles are also capable of sleeping up to five people! Therefore, you can see that though campervans themselves may not seem terribly cheap, when you add up all the savings you are making you are getting yourself quite a bargain.

The final reason, and one that you might not have thought of, is that most campervan companies will offer dog friendly campervans. This is in marked contrast to the vast majority of hotels and airbnbs, which sadly are reluctant to accept your furry friends. Even though there might be a slight extra fee for bringing your dog in a campervan, you will save on the kennel fees, and also you know that the dog is being well looked after. Plus he or she is enjoying the adventure too!
