Renting a motorhome

Hi there, has anyone been successful in renting a campervan after securing a ticket in the April resale? (Ever the optimist!)

Possible, but will certainly be expensive

For the record most MoHo companies put their prices up around Glastonbury time.
This can either be a set fee for the duration or a daikly hike.
For insatnce, the MoHo company I'm using have added an extra £500 to the overall hire cost. Some will add an extra deposit charge instead...
Couple that with it being a the peak period for MH hiring costs and you could be spending upwards of £1500-2000 for a modern 4 berth MoHo.

YMMV, you can certainly find cheaper out there, McRent are quite good, we've hired from them before and had no issue.

£2,000 !! 😲

 

1. Buy cheap caravan

2. Enjoy Glastonbury

3. Sell cheap caravan for the price you paid... or as i did, use cheap caravan for about 5 Glastonbury's before upgrading to a newer one..

We got a VW locally for £630 with the insurance which we thought was pretty good. 

2019 we paid £1200 with the insurance for one with a bathroom in but we were on Bath & West so the bathroom was a bit of a waste for the extra money which is why we went for the VW this time.

This is the right idea!

a) is the op still interested in this subject? 

b) I've rented motorhomes and caravans in the past primarily as I didn't have the space to store one and tbh don't want or need to think/worry about it for a year - I just thought of it like holiday accommodation for a week.
