Rental companies

[Andacami]

Looked and nearly booked with JustGo nr Luton until I saw the reviews and discovered the basics we would need are extra inc £50 minimum to park the car!

Now looking at McRent in Lea Valley.

So, is there an area on here that discusses rental...?

Depends on what exactly you are looking for but we had very successful MoHo renting from a lady that advertises on Ebay. I believe she has 2 or 3 Hymers, with a few miles on the clock but we found them in excellent condition and her service was superb. Seem to recall she was based somewhere near Crawley/Gatwick area. Very cost effective.

Andacami Sorry, meant to mention we left our car in her secure storage during the rental, for free!

Thanks Stevewheel

Make sure you pay using a credit card some rental companies are very very slow to pay deposit back. Also take pictures of the van specially damaged area's before you drive it, and make sure any damage is noted on the hire agreement. Take pictures on your return to show there was no damage whilst you had the van, take picture showing the toilet cassette is empty silly I know but some hire companies will add a fee saying it wasn't emptied

 

[Campervan_man]

Totally agree with the above advice.

Me too..

Agree with Fontie. Also they may have plenty off add ons that don't show up until you have booked eg. parking your car. Ours asked for extra if we wanted cutlery and crockery ( we didn't book this but it was in there anyway) also to be shown how to use the motorhome, clearly its in there interest to give you an explanation so don't be fooled and pay extra. Ours had terrible reviews but it wasn't too bad in the end.

McAfee doesn't complain and brings up site, might be Bitdefender being over zealous, or of course McAfee be under zealous

A friend of ours who is a non motorhome own has hired from these guys half a dozen times when we have had race meetings at Brands Hatch and on the continent.

+1 For a record of outside condition. I fired up my phone video and told the handover guy to walk with as I walked around the outside commenting on absolutely every little thing, with regular shots of him as well. Also we insisted on a full inventory (eg 4 teaspoons, 1 EHU lead, 1 grey water tank key, four cushions one with orange stain in corner, etc, etc) which wa signed by us & renter then photocopied and photoed as well. We also asked that if we later bought a new m/H from them if they would credit the rental off the price, which they did. For the record that was a McRent franchise and they stored our land cruiser in their secure compound free of charge while we are away. In our experience would recommend again.

Steer clear of the firm based in Cambridge that has a number of websites, I paid a £1000 deposit and after returning the van back in good order it took them 13 weeks to pay the deposit back. They blamed American Express who handle their transactions, but when I spoke to AMex, they said the cash was with hire firm.
I do not like people holding on to my cash for no reason

Forewarned, thank you.
