When you have decided on the destination, you only have to plan the trip in a motorhome. When you already have your own motorhome, it is only necessary to check that everything is in condition for the trip and perform the necessary mechanical maintenance.
However, if you must rent one, it is convenient that you look for it sufficiently in advance in rental companies. After comparing prices and evaluating the comforts that each one offers you, you can choose the motorhome that best suits your needs.
When renting your MotorHome
1. Prices
Maybe the cost of rent may seem a little high, but you should bear in mind that renting a motorhome means getting double benefit: accommodation and mobility at the same time.
Imagine how much would you spend if you have to rent a hotel room, plus a rental car
2.Pets
It is important when renting the motorhome, to consult and be well informed about whether or not they accept pets. Many times they are not allowed and in other companies they are welcome.
3.Option to purchase
Many companies that rent motorhomes also offer the option to purchase service. The advantage is that you can test the operation and evaluate every detail perfectly, before deciding to buy it.4.
4.Check the kitchen and utensils
You must take into account if the motorhome has enough space for all occupants and that everything is working in the kitchen (burners, gas, electric oven, faucets) and everything is suitable for immediate use. The motorhome will have the basics, so you’ll need to bring food, drinks and bottled water.
5.Check and control bedrooms
Check the size of the beds and if you have blankets and enough quilts. It is always advisable to bring a sleeping bag.
Check the conditions of the bathroom, whether you have a shower or not, hot water, etc. Also, if children are traveling, you should see that they have bunk beds and ample storage space to store their clothes and toys. Having a bicycle carrier can be a very useful element.
6.Documentation and appropriate conditions
Make sure that the motorhome is ready to travel on the roads of the place you want to visit, in perfect conditions from the mechanical point of view as well as the necessary regulatory documentation to circulate. Verify that the seat belts are in perfect condition.
7.Travel abroad
If you plan to get on a ferry or take the motorhome from the country by road, you must inform the rental company, as there may be restrictions or additional costs. Just as if you are traveling with very young children who need special child seats, you should consult them.
