    We have done this previously with Just Go. I would be cautious re the advertising price of £19 as you need to include the travel to Italy, transport to the collection site and then site charges. There is additional pressure that it is brand new and you are responsible for it and keeping it that way! Then you drop it at Teddington in Bedford and you have the challenge of organising transport home. We did not find this a cheap holiday or relaxing.

      I’m pretty sure the title of this video and the full series will cover all of this. These additional costs are incurred when you rent a motorhome from anywhere.

      @@RoamingRadfords I think the pressure of the van being brand new was enormous for us as new to camper Van's. For that reason we only stayed at paid sites and ate out a lot. We did not want to clean the oven! However, it was a good introduction to camper van life. As you are experienced in camper Van's I imagine different for you. We wished we had gone for a rental in UK first so we had a little more knowledge.

    Hi guys. We’re coming out next week to pick up a rental, but have to take it back to Edinburgh and not Luton. So, we have to drive to Edinburgh first, so that we have a car there when we return. Costs go up as we have to pay for two overnight stays plus parking for 10 days. The bedding as l understand isn’t included in the price. It’s £50 for double and about £30 for a single. Unless, you know differently then that’s an unexpected saving. We look forward to more uploads. Take care.

    • @RoamingRadfords
      @RoamingRadfords  7 місяців тому

      Yes there are always additional costs when renting. We felt this the most when we’ve rented in the US when we have to get flights out there for the 5 of us, then a couple of hotel rooms at the start, then they charge you extra for everything.
      Fortunately in the Just Go relocation deal the bedding was included, although we understand this is usually an optional extra when renting in the UK. You do however always get a kitchen kit included in all Just Go rentals, which isn’t the case when renting in the US.
      Happy travels guys, we hope you’ll have fun.

Unfortunately drones are banned in Morocco and I didn’t take a drone with us then or to the States with us at Christmas so we’ve not had much opportunity for drone footage but hopefully will take more on this years trips. The boys aren’t that interested in learning the drone flying.

      It’s £199 to rent the motorhome and enjoy a European holiday in it for 10 days. It’s an absolute bargain. Sure there is the cost to get to Italy to pick it up, but we regularly travel to America to rent an RV for a holiday there and I can assure you that cost us a lot more than it did to get to Pisa, and you still have all the cost of putting fuel in it etc. if you can’t see that this is a great deal to get a taster of what it’s like to drive a Motorhome and enjoy a European holiday then clearly this isn’t for you, but looking at how quickly this offer sells out, it’s an amazing deal for most.
