We would like to hire a motorhome for a 6 week trip to France this year.
We're planning a trip for the entire duration of the school summer holidays (approx mid July to end august 2011)
I've tried a few of the brokers and agencies but thought I'd try to see if a private hire could be more cost effective on both sides (as I presume they take a sizeable commission). I understand that it’s when most people would be using their vehicles, but if anybody is planning to have a summer away then we’d be happy to commit to this rental ASAP
We’re 2 x professional people with two well behaved kids. Both good drivers (not even a scratch in 20 years!) - that's us, not the kids.
We’re based in London, so South East is best for us but we’d be prepared to travel if the right vehicle came up. We can be flexible around dates
Bristol, rather than the south-east, but it might be worth contacting Simon Tepper, the owner of this motorhome. (If you can't see the link below, Google - 'South by Southwest Motorhome Hire+Mooveo C647')
I know Simon, but have no idea whether the vehicle will be available for the whole of the summer holidays - it's possible.
His Mooveo is a comfortable family van and has cab air-conditioning, which would be invaluable if you are planning to go to southern Europe at that time of year.
The cost of hiring for 6 weeks will be quite expensive
Look around at buy back schemes. this is where they sell you the van and then guatantee to buy it back at an agreed price providing you havent wrecked it.

One thing to think about (at the risk of sounding a bit technical) is the maximum legal weight of the motorhome and the available payload. As you have been driving for 20 years, your licences should have category C1 entitlement enabling you to drive vehicles over 3,500 kg (up to 7.5 tonnes). However, many hire motorhomes are limited to 3,500 kg max weight so that people without C1 (just C) entitlement, can drive them. This can be rather limiting in terms of payload - the amount of gear you can carry. A decent 4-berth motorhome with enough room for 6 week's worth of "clobber", and loaded with same, may weigh more than 3,500 kg. More concerning, you may find a hire van that is physically big enough to take all your gear, but has been down-rated to 3,500 kg so anyone can drive it. In those circumstances it is easy to load the van to beyond its legal limit and that is a serious offence if you're caught.
Check this point carefully with any hire company and make sure you can carry the gear you need.
