Renting a campervan - Ideas?

shar06

I have rang and emailed Sundrive about photos of their classic VW camper 4-5 times now and every time I speak to them the caravan is out on hire. When I have emailed them they send me the information pack for it but no photos. I even emailed them with a complaint about their customer service and have had no reply. I dont think they are to be trusted!!! however if someone has actually hired a van from them I would be interested in hearing about it.

The OH and I lived in a camper van for a while abroad, and would love to take a trip or two in the UK in one, but couldn't afford to rent one. As I always see loads of camper vans in the UK sitting doing nothing, I was thinking we could try "rent" one from someone locally, but I haven't got a notion where to start. Most people these days don't really look at notice boards, can anyone suggest other ways I could do this? Gumtree? Freecycle?

Are you any further in to your enquiries

Annual hire coverage for the hirer quoted about 1600 pounds. That was too much for me, I need to find a per-hire insurer.

Try Dayinsure motorhome insurance - you'll have to google it 'cos I can't post a link yet.

Thanks buddy. Interesting, they also have temporary insurance but with the new continuous insurance rules is that still valid?
