Once you know you want to hire a campervan, the next thing you need to consider is what sort of campervan you need to rent. Read on to find out some points to keep in mind.
Depending on what part of the United Kingdom you’ll be visiting, and how many people you’ll be travelling with, some campervans may be better suited to your needs than others. Here’s a general guide to the types of campervans you can hire in the UK.
Smaller campervans generally sleep two adults. These vehicles may not feature kitchen nor bathrooms, and have limited storage space. If you’re unsure about driving a large vehicle on the small country roads common in the UK, this type of vehicle could be a good choice. They’re also easier to park, and generally more fuel efficient.
Perfect for: Travel through cities and metropolitan areas where there are busy traffic and more difficult parking areas. If you are planning to travel to cities such as London, Oxford or Cambridge, you may prefer a smaller vehicle.
If you’re travelling as a family, a vehicle that sleeps four adults could be the right choice for you. Campervans of this size generally feature both kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Perfect for: If you’re planning on travelling in more remote areas where you need your own amenities, but still need a vehicle that can be easily driven on small, country roads, this vehicle might be just the right size.
If you’re travelling long distances and would prefer to be more self-sufficient, larger motorhomes are a great way to go. These vehicles can sleep six adults, and feature plenty of extra storage space. They are also equipped with kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Perfect for: If you are travelling on motorways and rural highways, and need a bit of extra space, a larger motorhome will provide you with some additional comfort.
