I think most people who have tried it would say, there is no comparison between campervan rentals, and alternative forms of travel. There are so many places around the world now that have opened up the tourist market, to a whole new style of holiday. The idea of using campervan rentals for holidays, is a reasonably new concept in travel. Most families would go caravanning, but that would require each family to have their own small caravan that they would tow, sometimes in convoy’s, behind the family car. In some families, there would be one very large caravan which would serve as the home base for the extended family on the days that they would visit over the holidays.

There are not many of the old style small caravans left on our roads now, those that do remain, often being owned by retirees who have had the same caravan for many years. Now we have modern, lightweight caravans and campers. The structure and design of these vehicles is now in a class of its own. It is such a wonderful way to combine the luxuries and pleasures of home, with the open and sometimes rugged outdoors. You can appreciate that with campervan rentals, you are free to make your own travel plans, and drive when you want to. There are certainly no strict schedules, unless you have planned these yourself. There is no need for you to stand in lines waiting to get tickets on the plane, train or bus, and when you decide to take off, you have plenty of room to be comfortable in campervan rentals.

Choosing the right time of the year to travel can make all the difference financially, and you can sometimes negotiate better deals on some of the range offered by most campervan rentals companies. Some people have been able to get extra days rental for nothing, unlimited travel, or even upgrades to larger campervans, all because they knew where to look.

It is always going to be your choice as to how much luxury you want or need in your campervan rentals. Some of the campervans today, have fixtures and fittings that would rival some of the nicest homes. As standard in most late model campervans, you will probably find a large screen television, leather seats, beautiful decor, and Citizen Band radio, to name just a few luxuries. As you would expect, the latest top of the range campervan rentals are going to cost more than the average. You will basically get what you pay for, unless of course you are taking advantage of an upgraded package.

In most cases, your campervan rentals will include insurance and breakdown coverage, under certain circumstances. You need to be safe at all times. Usually your package will also include some travel kilometres free, before having to pay for excess kilometres, unless of course you have an unlimited kilometres deal. However it does make sense to seek a company that offers unlimited kilometres for the duration of your trip. This is the best way to reduce or eliminate any concerns you may have due to the distance being travelled. You will always have to pay for the fuel that is used on your trip. The company will ensure that the campervan rentals are collected with a full tank of gas, and they will refill the tank when you return from your holiday. This will be charged to your account.

If this is something that you have considered for your next holiday, you would be recommended to at least try campervan rentals. There is every chance that you will become addicted to it, and there is a certainty that the experience will create memories for you, that will last a lifetime.
