Camper Van Rentals Benefit from Ecconomic Downturn.
Travel agents are beginning to worry about the future of their businesses but it’s not all bad news. Despite news that many companies are ill prepared to ride out the recession some areas are doing rather well. Camper hire is taking off as people stay in the UK during their holidays to save money. More people are choosing to hire vans such as the VW California to explore areas closer to home rather than fork out for overseas travel.
VW van hire has always been popular during the summer months (in particular the Run to the Sun event in Newquay) but is now becoming more popular at other times of year.
