Campervan Rental - Abroad
When going abroad with your rental campervan you should do your research thoroughly and prepare adequately – that way there hopefully won’t be any nasty shocks waiting.
Campervan rental – research
When going to a foreign country it’s important to be aware of the differences between campervan rental holidays there and in the UK – some things to look out for are:
• Insurance – just because you are insured to drive a rental campervan in this country does not necessarily mean the same is true on the continent. Luckily Hampshire Motorhomes offer a comprehensive European insurance and breakdown cover. However, if you are travelling further out you may have to look into additional cover.
• Local laws – when driving your campervan abroad the rules of the road may be different, e.g. you may have to drive on a different side of the road, adhere to different speed limits and perform signalling and overtaking manoeuvres in a different way. You may also want to familiarise yourself with other local laws to avoid any nasty ‘misunderstandings’.
• Camping grounds/places to stay – the local rules as to where you can park your rental campervan and stay for the night may vary from country to country. As may the rules and prices at foreign camping grounds and trailer parks
• Culture – it mostly goes without saying, but you can expect the culture in each location you visit to be very different. You should not take it for granted that just because something is acceptable in this country that the same will be the case everywhere else.
Campervan rental – multiple locations
If you are visiting multiple locations the task of doing all that research may seem daunting at first – but do not underestimate its importance. You may even find the process of learning about different cultures enjoyable. So in summary a bit a preparation can go a long way towards ensuring your campervan rental holiday is a pleasurable one.
