Tips for enjoying your motorhome rental

Renting a motorhome is an exciting experience that allows you to travel in complete freedom. To make your adventure perfect we give you 10 key tips that will help you enjoy it without worries.

Although if you come to Magic Caravaning to rent your motorhome (we are in Lleida and we can pick you up by train or plane), we will explain everything you need to know before you leave.

With us you won’t have to worry about anything but enjoying your trip, as you will also be able to keep in touch with us during your route in case you have any problems or doubts.

Our 10 Magic tips:

1. Choose the Right Motorhome.
Before renting, think about the best motorhome option for you; consider your budget, how many people and/or pets will be travelling with you and how much space and comfort you’ll need. To get an idea, take a look at our motorhome rental catalogue.

2. Plan your route, but be flexible
Having a general idea of your route is useful, but leave room for improvisation and surprises along the way. Make a realistic roadmap, including days for the outward and return journeys. If you leave an extra day for each, all the better, so you can arrive on time if you have more time on the road. It’s about enjoyment, not stress.

3. Find out how it works
Before setting off, make sure you understand how the water tanks, gas, electricity and other essential systems work .

At Magic Caravaning we will explain everything in person, answer all your questions and show you in person how the motorhome works so that you can drive it as if it were your own.

4. Take what you need without going overboard
Pack practically, prioritising the essentials to travel light and comfortable. Space is limited and what you need to take will also depend on the equipment included in your motorhome rental.

Our motorhomes for hire have everything you need already included so you only need to bring your most essential luggage.

5. Respect the rules of the road
Drive with caution, respect speed limits and take into account the dimensions of the vehicle. Avoid unnecessary risks that could spoil your plans.

6. Park in Permitted Places
Look for specific areas for motorhomes or campsites that offer adequate services. There are free mobile apps that are a safe bet for overnight stays, sightseeing or water changes. We will recommend some of them if it is the first time you rent a motorhome.

7. Control Water and Energy Consumption
Make efficient use of resources to avoid running out of water in the middle of the trip. Before travelling in a motorhome, you need to change your mind about consumption, as it is not the same as staying at home or in a hotel. Once you know how the motorhome works, you will know the limit of the tanks for both clean and dirty water as well as the amount of energy you can have each day. Here you need to plan both the water change and the energy recharge, knowing whether you are going to a secluded or sunny spot. Everything counts and has an influence, so don’t run out of water or energy because you didn’t take this important point into account .

8. Be Respectful of the Environment
Collect your waste, don’t leave a (bad) footprint and respect nature as well as local rules. Every place has its own charm and it is up to everyone to enjoy it.

9. Make sure you have good insurance
Check that the motorhome rental includes insurance, what deposit must be left and check what cover is offered to travel with peace of mind. Don’t have any doubts to avoid surprises. Examples of frequent doubts when renting a motorhome.

10. Enjoy the trip
The most important thing is to relax and enjoy the adventure. If you rent a motorhome with Magic Caravaning you will have the support you may need during your trip, premium equipment, a motorhome adapted to your budget and the guarantee of a company rated with five stars by its customers.
