Campervan and motorhome trips are interesting and exciting as you travel through various terrains and locations. However though campervan trips are comparatively cheaper than other trips, to some people it may still be expensive. In such cases, they could consider getting relocation specials that many campervan and motorhome companies offer.
These companies at times have to shift their vehicles to specific destinations because of supply and demand issues (e.g. it is quite common for a glut of vehicles to be stuck at a festival such as Byron Bay Blues or Splendour In The Grass at Woodford, because travellers often keep going north and don't want the vehicle anymore). This is when they offer highly discounted dampervan and motorhome relocation specials that you can take advantage of.
What's the Deal?
Though cheap, there are some drawbacks with these one-way specials. First of all, you can’t request a specific relocation, as their relocation specials are offered as per their rental requirements.
Moreover, you have to travel only on the dates they mention on their website, when they want their vehicle to get transported to the new destination. The number of days and distance you can travel on this special is determined by the route you travel.
Before you actually book a relocation special, you need a credit card with sufficient money to pay the bond on vehicle pick-up. You also need an open license with 2 year validity, and you have to be over 21 years of age. It’s always better to familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of the relocation special package before actually accepting it.
Having said all that, the pros outweigh the cons with a campervan or motorhome relocation deal. If it suits your holiday plans, you can't get a cheaper holiday than this, no matter how far you look.
