Just to clarify - Is it that you want to rent your motorhome out or you want to rent one from someone else?
That's what I thought, but just wanted to be sure. We let ours out through an agency (it's why I'm flagged up as trade) and one of the insurers they use is dayinsure.com.
Our hiring is just a sideline as well, as it keeps it used while we can't make full use of it and helps to pay some (and only some) of the not inconsiderable cost of buying and running the thing.
Have a look at a few motorhome hire websites and read their terms and conditions, that will also give you some idea of what you need to consider.
Hi
There are a couple of companies who will look at daily self drive hire, it is expensive, but at least it is available.
i would suggest this would be the least of your problems. all of the insurance companies will require that at least the deposit is paid with a credit card, so you will require the infrastructure to meet there requirements. You may find it hard to turn down business, so how many weekends are you prepared to work. You will have to be available 7 days a week whilst hiring to deal with backup. How will you cope when your Motorhome is damaged and the parts will take 12 weeks to arrive. Will you have access to another Motorhome to avoid letting customers down. Will you have someone with the relevant qualifications to carry out you pre hire checks and somewhere dry to carry out your post hire checks, when checking for bodywork damage. Your customers will be late in arriving and at times, late in returning.
There is enough business out there for everyone so please do not think I am trying to put you off. I am trying to show the reality.

This is why I suggested you read up on various terms and conditions when deciding what to do - I did and decided I wasn't going to do it myself and used an agency.
Thanks for all your points of view.
I have had trouble finding anyone who will take on hire.
Any suggestions?
Stanner the agency seems a good road to explore, do they have a set fee, or is a done on percentage?

Percentage depending on how much you/they do in respect of handovers, cleaning etc.
