It’s first worth thinking about why you might want to rent a motorhome, as opposed to other relatively similar vehicles, or even other ways of holidaying. In most cases, a motorhome is considered to be a large self-powered (rather than towed) vehicle, and is distinguished from a campervan mainly by its larger size and increased facilities.
People might rent a motorhome as opposed to another vehicle type for a number of reasons. Perhaps they are a bigger family or group, and desire the extra space offered by a motorhome. This could be particularly favourable if the weather is not on their side, and they cannot spend as long outside as they may have wanted - the motorhome will accommodate indoor games and activities far more easily.
They may also be planning to be away from developed areas like towns and cities, or even campsites, for longer. This is made far easier in motorhomes as they tend to have more in the way of luggage space, water storage and waste tanks etc.
Motorhome rental makes for a superb holiday, and in fact is growing hugely in popularity in the UK. This is because there is a strong trend for staycations combined with a weak pound, as well as the after shocks caused by the global pandemic, which all combine to make going abroad more tricky and expensive.
Plus, there is no doubt that there is a tremendous amount to see and do in the UK both in terms of nature and culture, and many other advantages to staying in the country besides, such as benefits to the environment caused by not flying, and no language barrier.
Here are some more great benefits of motorhome rental:
Freedom. In the past, people were satisfied by staying in hotels in one location, perhaps venturing out a little, but generally remaining tethered to one location for the duration of their holiday.
Tastes change, however, and now it is far more common for holiday-goers to want a bit more from their trip, with more emphasis on adventure and a bit less on pure relaxation. The idea of being stuck in one place is not so appealing, and this niche is where motorhome rental slots in beautifully.
Your motorhome has many of the creature comforts offered by a simple hotel, however you can of course easily drive it from location to location, allowing you to explore far more of the UK.
Cost savings. Motorhome rental may seem expensive at first, but you need to consider all the savings you are able to make by renting a motorhome to work out the true cost to you.
For example, you no longer need to pay for either your hotel or your transportation, frequently the two major costs of a holiday.
Additionally, one of the other large costs associated with a holiday is that of eating out, and again this is something that a motorhome can solve for you. This is because the often remarkably advanced cooking facilities available in a motorhome should allow you to cook even large meals for multiple guests.
Motorhome rental allows you to try before you buy. Perhaps surprisingly, this is one of the most common reasons people to rent a motorhome.
Many people do think about owning a motorhome, but they do have a fairly high upfront cost, as well as a certain amount of maintenance that is regularly required. Therefore, a motorhome rental holiday allows you to test the waters and confirm that you do indeed want to spend that much money on one of these vehicles.
Moreover, it may also be worth renting a motorhome if you have already decided to buy one, but are unsure on the exact model you’d like. Going away for a few weeks in a model you are interested in can be a superb way of confirming whether you enjoy a certain model or not.
Motorhome rental is surprisingly social. Because you’ll likely be spending most of your evenings at campsites, you're going to get the chance to meet many interesting and friendly characters.
Whether it’s at the campsite bar, around your outdoor BBQ, or simply whilst living at the campsite, we’d encourage you to get out of your comfort zone a bit, and start talking to the people around you. Motorhomes themselves are quite a talking point too, and something a lot of people would like to experience or own.
Modern motorhomes are extremely comfortable. Many up to date motorhomes use ingenious design to fit most of what you need in a full house into a small and very portable space.
For example, you can expect showers, fridges, freezers, toilets, comfy beds and more. Of course, these marvellous vehicles can be connected to mains electricity at powered campsites too, so you can enjoy television, power all your devices and have the lights on right into the night.
No more slumming it at campsites - motorhome rental ensures that you can bring all your creature comforts with you as you travel.

Here are a few tips for motorhome rental that might make your adventure a bit more straightforward:
Think about where you are going very thoroughly.
Motorhomes are quite considerably larger than campervans and cars, and will not always easily make it through some of the UKs antiquated country roads.
At least until you get your bearings and are a bit more experienced in driving one of these machines, you may well want to stick to smaller roads.
Ask any questions about the vehicle with the motorhome rental company before setting off.
The staff at the motorhome rental company will be happy to assist with any questions you may think of, and it’s good to know about things like how to operate the lights and other dashboard controls, where all the storage space can be found and so on, before you get onto the roads.
Learn how the alarm and locking system works. Similar to the above, it’s absolutely crucial to be given a full run through of how the alarm system works, as motorhomes and the possessions left inside are sadly major targets for theft.
Make sure you are well aware of how to secure the vehicle before you leave it at any time.
Be sure to enquire about the allowed mileage. Most motorhomes will come with an agreed mileage limit, though some nowadays come with unlimited mileage.
Either way, be sure you know what the limits are, and where this limit fits into your holiday plans.
What kind of license do I need? This is mainly applicable to larger motorhomes, but if the motorhome you are planning to rent is over 3.5 tonnes then you will need a category C1 UK license.
Motorhomes smaller than this can be driven on standard UK driving license, however. Of course, if you are visiting the UK from abroad then you need to do extra research into the size of motorhome you can rent on your specific driving license.
Take it easy if this is your first time driving any motorhome, or your first time driving a new motorhome. Motorhomes are quite different to drive than cars, not least because they are significantly larger.
They have longer stopping distances, less acceleration and you will not be able to see out of the back mirror, so must use the larger side mirrors far more. Get a bit of practice in on some quiet streets and car parks before you head out onto the open road.
Bring some books and games for rainy days. Hey, it’s probably going to happen, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
You’re in the UK, so you’re like to get a rainy day or two - take some activities for that inevitable downpour, and remember that you probably won’t get much internet in remote campsites, so being able to download movies and games on demand is unlikely.
One of the major benefits of a motorhome is the increased space, so make the most of it with some board games that can be played together as a family.
Thinking of bringing a pet? If you fancy taking your pet on holiday with you, and saving all those kennel fees whilst you’re away, then ensuring that your motorhome rental allows pets in the vehicle is utterly crucial.
Moreover, you need to make sure that the campsites and other locations you stay at allow pets too. This can all be a bit time consuming, but it’s worth it to have your furry friend and four legged member of your family with you!
Carefully consider your packing. Motorhomes do of course have plenty more space than smaller vehicles you might be tempted to rent, but that doesn’t mean that some bad packing can’t mess up your whole experience.
Large items like hardshell suitcases are especially culpable here, as they cannot easily be folded and stored in all the drawers and clever little spaces in the motorhome.
Instead, bring items in soft holdall type suitcases or fabric / tote bags that can be easily stowed away.
Finally, pay close attention to your return time, and leave early enough that any traffic jams or other holdups don’t make you late.
There can be some pretty steep charges for returning your motorhome late, so it’s best to make sure you’re not panicking and rushing to return the vehicle to the hire depo, and therefore spoiling the last day of your holiday.
We hope you’ve been given some good reasons to start your motorhome rental adventure.
