Every year millions of visitors choose to spend their precious holiday weeks in the UK. Some come from overseas, while others are domestic holidaymakers. There is a lot to see and do in the UK and many choose to explore by road trip, in a motorhome. But not everyone is fortunate enough to own one of these hotels on wheels. And fortunately there are lots of places offering motorhome hire in the UK.

Companies that rent out motorhomes can be found all over the UK. Individual fleets of course will differ, but will generally include a range of makes and models. Sizes usually range between those designed to accommodate two people to much larger ones for seven. Some specialise in vintage vehicles and there are others to cater for those wanting the most modern, high-tech models.

Some companies will deliver to your home. Although for the most part, customers will need to collect the vehicles themselves. Whichever option you choose, you will no doubt need to park at home to load and unload. So you need to have enough room on your drive or other parking space to accommodate the vehicle.

There are no set rates for motorhome hire and prices will differ from company to company. Larger vehicles of course will cost more. And the duration of your rental will also of course affect the price. Tariffs usually range from weekend and week rates to long term rates.

When thinking about where you are going to go and where you're going to stop overnight it's worth bearing in mind that some campsites require advance booking. Also some are not open all year round. Most campsites cater for all types of campers, from those in tents and caravans and will have special larger pitches for motorhomes.

Each rental company has their own set of conditions when renting, but they will share some things in common. For example, there will be a minimum age requirement applicable to the main driver and anyone else who'll be driving during the course of the rental. Upper age limits also apply with some, but not all firms. The length of time the driver has held his or her licence may also be a factor.

If you're thinking of taking the motorhome across the channel, a lot of companies do allow you to do so. But bear in mind you'll need to take out an extra insurance to go outside UK borders, which the company can provide. They will also be able to offer you insurance to decrease the excess or even get it down to zero.

A road trip in a motorhome is like taking a trip in a hotel... On wheels. For many it literally feels like a home away from home. But on a smaller scale. You have your bed, kitchen and even bathroom on board! If you've never done it before, rental companies are happy to help with any questions about motorhome hire in the UK. They also offer additional extras like GPS and generators, and other things you may need on your trip.
