We are interested in hiring a motorhome for a week but I am a bit confused where to go.
I have come across a website leisurerentalsdirect.com who seem to be an advertising site for owners. I was about to make a booking and enter all my details and then decided that the site wasn't secure.
Does anyone have any experience of this company either as a hirer or owner hiring their van out.
Any advice or suggestions graetfully received. We are based in kent and looking to rent one somewhere in the south / south east
That was a website that rents out motorhomes that are privately owned by individuals. Never enter credit card details into a website without https in the web address of the payment page but theres no reason why hiring this way should be a problem otherwise.
The alternative is hiring from a company that hires m/h's from it's own fleet, usually a large dealer group, ie this one in Luton.
Thanks, yes that is what I looked at the https bit and it wasn't there. I nearly did it and then realised so deleted it all. Just need to find out how to book it without making a payment on line. I'll look at the one you suggested, thank you.
I have looked at companies that seem quite big and they want £1250 deposit. One seems to not be very prompt at giving it back, they actually take it off a credit card not just getting pre-authorisation!This seems a bit of a dodgy practice.
Does anyone live near Andover and know Abacus Motorhome Hire? I spoke to them and they seem OK
I have a friend who hires her motorhome out on Hire a Hymer site. She is in Petts Wood, Kent and keeps it at home for collection/delivery from her house. It's called Bumblebee. (They all have simpsons character names) I'll ask her to reply as she is a ukcampsite member too. It's gorgeous and really well kitted out.
Thank you Minnie1. Yes I do have a lovely 4 berth Rapido available for hire through Hire a Hymer. Feel free to contact Bumblebee through the website happy to answer any questions 😀
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
