What AUKMOTORHOMEHIRE Tells Us
AUKMOTORHOMEHIRE is a modest motorhome hire with a simple selection of motohormes for different groups. Since they are a small family business, they can personally meet and greet you at the airport and railway stations to deliver or collect the vehicle for you. Their prices are fairly priced, mostly ranging at the budget to mid-ranged market. The company's name, however, is not that well-liked and mostly overshadowed by bigger rental companies and more popular ones.
Fleet
The fleet of AUKMOTORHOMEHIRE is consists of 2 berth, 4 berth and 6 berth motorhomes and campervans. All motorhomes are styled with white-based exteriors, except for the camper with a sleek grey finish. Though claimed as well-maintained, these older vehicles may have certain wear and tear issues that could affect your possible seamless road trip. Still, all the units on offer come in handy because of the facilities provided like full kitchen, bathroom with separate shower and toilet, and standard entertainment system. Kitchen and dining utensils ranging from pans, pots and kettle to knives, plates, and cups, are supplied for free.
Vehicles
Carioca / Carioca 5
These two luxury 6 berth motorhomes are actually the same, from the base unit to the interior layout. There aren't visible differences except for the bedding and linens used. Both spacious motorhomes are equipped with all comforts and even extras you can think of. It has a full kitchen with sink, 4 burner hob, fridge, oven and grill, and a bathroom with separate bathroom and shower. Over the cab is a nice fixed double bed and at the back are the two single beds. The dinette also converts into a double bed for added sleeping area. Though this is good for 6 persons, a group of 5 will surely enjoy the roomy layout, especially if the lower bunk is raised when not in used, to add up space. But some downers for this particular model is it does not come with cab air conditioning and reversing camera.
Swift Voyager
Based upon a powerful Fiat’s X2/50 chassis with 130 MultiJet engine and a six-speed gearbox, this 4 berth motorhome is swift and reliable. Now offering cab air conditioning, reversing camera, plus additional TV set with auto-sat satellite, the unit is pretty much fancier than you think. There's also plenty of heating facilities and the fridge/ freezer even comes with digital controls and automatic energy selection while the gas hob features an 800W electric hotplate and electronic ignition. There are two large double beds located at the rear and over the cab.
Autotrail Mohican
For couples or travellers in two, you can opt for the compact Autotrail Mohican equipped with a Fiat Ducato long wheel base chassis and 6 speed gear box for a fuel-efficient and economical driving. The roomy lounge area featuring bench seats with comfy spring interior cushions on both sides makes into a spacious double bed. At the rear area is the full bathroom with separate shower and toilet, with vanity table and wardrobe. And, you are supplied with hot and cold water options from a large capacity heater. The L-shaped kitchen at the corner comes with a large sink, cooker, fridge, separate freezer and overhead cabinets. Last, the standard TV/ DVD equipment is enough to entertain you during your trip.
VW T5 Transporter
This economical vintage model is still very reliable on the road with the help of its most recent features such as the 2ltr diesel turbo power and 6 speed gearbox. These latest VW innovations make this campervan drive like a car. A 4 berth unit, this vehicle provides a pop-up roof to cater two kids above, while the remaining two can comfortably sleep at the travel seats that form into a double bed at night. The kitchen is also well equipped with sink, basin, fridge and storage areas.
Insurance
The rate comes with a standard excess of £1250. And in case of any damage, you will be liable for the first £1250, which is also the corresponding amount for the security deposit. This must be paid seven days before the scheduled rental through cash, credit/ debit card or bank transfer. Further, any damage to the tyre and windows will be added to your liability. Accordingly, you can avail of the Collision Damage Waiver to your coverage for a more secure trip.
Reputation
AUKMOTORHOMEHIRE isn't as grand as most large rental corporations in UK yet they tirelessly provide something unique to their renters, especially for budget travellers looking for a modest and personalized rental. They are a small motorhome hire company in Grantham that could provide you with a first-hand experience through their 'meet and greet' service. However, it appears that the company has gathered a majority of negative reputation out of their very limited feedback. Their fleet of older motorhomes and campervans may take a toll with your needed holiday.
Summary
If all great rental options are booked, then you may or may not opt for a motorhome or camper from AUKMOTORHOMEHIRE. This small company could be offering you a great deal of rental savings but it might not be enough to compensate the possible risks.
