Motorhome hire

[Funkyfairy!]

Last year we borrowed someones motorhome and drive it across from Jersey and it was awesome staying in one and not lugging stuff. This year we are bringing some G virgins with us and would like to hire a van (preferably 6 berth)

We will bring the car across to Weymouth/Portsmouth/Poole and would like a van thats not hours out of the way between there(ish) and Glastonbury

Has anyone got any suggestions at all. Bit lost on who to rust and who not to

A friend hired one today and was told he would have hired each van out 100 times which has made me panic a little

Any assistance would be great please

Thanks a lot (as always)

We had one from Tilshead Caravans one year...

i think the next year is usually booked up almost as soon as the previous years fest is over

Oh, that's not far from us. They service our caravan.

If you do use them Funky Fairy, let me know if you need any help. You could park it up around ours etc the night before.

Oh well, don't give up trying - good luck

Thanks a lot for your very kind offer, but unfortunately they are totally out of campervans for G week :-(

Back to the drawing board ...

I have sent you a PM, let me know if any good and I won't pass the info to anyone else!

My folks (who will be 63 by the time of their second Glastonbury next year) just booked their campervan from Tilshead.

Thanks a lot StoneCirle, I have PMed you back. I got a call yesterday from a company we originally wanted to use (but they had none left) - he had a 'cancellation from someone who had booked straight after last years festival but hadn't got a ticket this year. Feel sorry for the person who didn't get a ticket, but secretly chuffed we have a van sorted

The guy said he'd had a few cancelled this week so for anyone sruggling to find a decent campervan keep trying there seems to be some 'returns' around

[Funkyfairy!]

Excellent! How much is it costing?

There's a warehouse in the little town of Uckfield, East Sussex that I live near to that in the past week has got new owners and now outside it, there are parked 2 GORGEOUS VW campervans with 'For Camping Hire' emblazoned on them. I cant find a web address but I did just google and came across THIS website. No idea if its the same company obviously but worth a call if anyone from this part of the world is looking.
