These are some questions and answers supplied by Karen from Motorholme, our new partners in motorhome rentals.

Some of the most common questions and answers regarding motorhome hire:

Can I take my dog/pet?

Yes, in most vehicles it is OK, provided that you understand you are responsible for any damages or extra cleaning charges that might be involved.

Do you hold a bond?

No - many motorhome hire companies require a cash cleared bond of between £500 to £1250 in addition to the hire charge. This is then returned to you if the van is returned in an acceptable fashion and all rules have been adhered to. MotorHolme do not agree with this practise and we do not believe it is either ethical nor legally enforceable.

Can I leave my car?

Yes, at all our locations we provide complimentary parking facilities - cars are parked at owners risk

Is there any training on how to operate the motorhome?

Yes - every motorhome has a full handover session covering all aspects of the vehicle operation and safety which takes about half an hour.

Do I need to book camp sites?

Yes - in the peak season space is very limited and it is worthwhile booking ahead. Some of the top UK sites are members only and you may wish to join the Caravan Club who offer sites and also certified locations to their members for around £39 per year.

Can I just stop and stay anywhere?

No - aside from your own personal security, most councils have a zero tolerance policy on illegal overnight parking, it is best to stay at camp sites or certified locations if you can. In Europe you can usually stay over at any of the motorway services for a minimal fee.

What is included in the vehicle?

We aim to provide everything you need for a camper van holiday, but items like bedding are not normally included unless you are travelling from overseas. We also do not provide camping items such as chairs and tables. Everything such as cutlery, crockery, shower, fridge, gas bottles, toilet cleaining fluid etc. is included.

How do I book a vehicle?

If you see a model that you like on our web site, call  us. We can give you up to the minute availability and you can make your reservation over the phone. We require a deposit to hold the booking and the balance is due at least 1 month prior to collecting the vehicle.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes - we accept all major credit and debit cards.

I hope these questions and answers are useful - do not hesitate to call Motorholme directly,  if you have any more questions or queries.
