The Rules and Regulations of Motorhome Hire

by ALLAN ELVIN

Travelling is fun and travelling in motorhome is unlimited fun. It is as if you get your home with you, and by staying in your own home you take a trip to many of your favourite spots. There are a number of agencies that offer motorhome hire service. Terms and conditions of hiring the campervan vary from agency to agency. A few of them are mentioned here.

The rules and regulations mentioned may be followed by majority of the agencies. The first thing one should know is about collecting and returning the motorhome. In this connection, it is advisable not to start the journey on the same day you collect the motorhome. You may be informed about the way the motorhome works best. So, in order to make the best of motorhome hire, it is better to get a thorough introduction.

The next thing you should be careful about is the time of returning the motorhomes. You should make certain that the motorhome is returned on time. Most of the agencies charge fines for every extra hour you use the motorhome. This is because the motorhome hire agencies maintain a carefully planned schedule. They charge extra from you for late return of the motorhomes.

You may come across flashy advertisements claiming that motorhomes include everything in them. You just need to hire one and start using it. However, this may not be the case always. In some cases, after motorhome hire, you will only get the crockery and other kitchen equipment. The rest of the things like bed-linen, blankets, pillows, towels, camping table and chairs etc. will have to be taken by you.

After motorhome hire, you should also be ready to face some not-so-happy surprises. For example, you may not get the exact motorhome that you have hired. In such circumstances, you will be offered similar or better motorhomes and you will need to pay extra for this.
