Motorhome Hire

Tillydot

Does anyone have an idea of what it would cost to hire a 2-4 berth motorhome for a week?

I'd try someone called 'Google'.

A damn sight more than you'd think, and a damn sight more than in previous years.

Beyond that, how long is a piece of string?
Where in the country?
What sort of vehicle? New, flash, coachbuilt motorhome, or van conversion, or retro VW, or...?

Here's one company's price list...

Stubod

..we have been looking...around £900 for a 2/4 birth...but as above, just "do a google" to get actual prices as a lot depends on the time of year...

Aletank

About £1k a week

On top of the rental cost, be prepared to front a big deposit (£1000-1500 typically)

And to lose it paying for damage to the roof from driving under trees that might have been there before you hired it

Step-ladders and a phone/camera  

I've previously looked at motorhome hire (last year) and back then it was typically £1k per week for a coachbuilt type.

Don't forget the excess insurance. It's cheaper to look elsewhere than use the lease company's.

Also worth every penny. We were unlucky enough to be the victims of our campervan getting a good going over by incompetent Numpties when it was parked up (seen as easy pickings as potentially electronic to swipe inside.

If they accused you of damaging the roof and put it through the insurance as a claim would you then have to declare it and pay the increased premiums for the next 5 years on your own car insurance?

Typically the insurance does NOT cover damage above something like 6'
