Travel wherever you want and have the choice to change your mind at any time, the motorhome is synonymous with freedom… More certain constraints are also to be expected, because owning a motorhome represents a significant financial burden. Before attempting the adventure of “van life”, here is why it may be interesting to rent rather than buy a motorhome.

Renting a motorhome costs less

Before buying or renting a motorhome, ask yourself how long are you going to use it in the year: often, this type of vehicle is not used only a few weeks a year. And from 30 to 40,000 €, the purchase cost is not negligible, without counting the costs of maintenance, insurance, the discount of its value … After a few years, it is very likely that you spent much more than expected to own your motorhome, when a few weeks of rental would have cost you much less.

You must plan a place to store it

Having your own motorhome means the freedom to be able to leave whenever you want. But the rest of the year, your vehicle must be parked in a place where it will be protected from frost, bad weather or strong heat: it is therefore essential to have a garage or to rent a parking lot for this. A additional financial constraint that you won’t have to put up with when renting a motorhome.

You will always be driving a recent motorhome

As with cars, motorhomes evolve regularly, and it is not uncommon for other more modern, more comfortable or better equipped models to be marketed over time. Rental therefore has the advantage of giving you the choice, and also the pleasure of be able to drive in recent models and different. It is also an additional guarantee not to have mechanical or technical problems, which can occur with models having a little age.

To test before buying

You have decided to buy a motorhome for the first time, but do not yet know which model to choose? For your first steps, it may be wise to try out a rental motorhome during your next vacation, in order to give you a good overview of what “van life” gives in practice. Also ideal for test several layouts interiors to find your ideal configuration.

You want to go (further) far

That’s it, you’ve developed a taste for motorhome travel. While it is not difficult to visit Europe with your vehicle, it will be much more complicated for you to travel further with it: for example, when you feel like traveling the roads of the United States by camping- because. Renting also removes this constraint, and will allow you to really go where you want.
