RV's vs Motohomes & Our Airport Shuttle

RV rental, also known as recreational vehicle hire, is a popular way to explore the vast and beautiful landscapes of North America. However, in the UK, the term "motorhome hire" is more commonly used. In France, it is referred to as "campervan hire", while in Spain, it is known as "auto-caravan".

RVs in Canada and America tend to be much larger than those found in the UK, as the roads in North America are wider and more straight-forward. However, Scotland is a popular destination for visitors looking to rent an RV in the UK, as the country boasts some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world.

RV rental in Scotland allows travelers to explore the stunning countryside and rugged coastline at their own pace. From the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders to the majestic peaks of the Highlands, an RV allows you to immerse yourself in Scotland's natural beauty and unique culture.

When looking for RV rental in Scotland, it's important to find a reputable rental company that offers reliable vehicles, good customer service, and competitive pricing. Many rental companies offer a variety of RV sizes and features to suit different needs and budgets, from compact models to larger luxury vehicles.

Some rental companies also offer delivery and pickup services, making it easy to pick up your RV in one location and drop it off in another. This can be particularly convenient if you're flying into Scotland from another part of the UK or Europe.
  

What is the difference between an RV and a UK Motorhome?

An RV, or recreational vehicle, is a type of motorhome commonly found in North America. It typically features a large living area, multiple sleeping quarters, and a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. RVs are designed for long-distance travel and often include luxurious amenities such as televisions, air conditioning, and even outdoor entertainment systems.

On the other hand, a UK motorhome is typically smaller and more compact than an RV, with a more basic set of amenities. UK motorhomes are designed for shorter trips and are ideal for exploring the UK's winding roads and smaller towns. They often feature a sleeping area, a small kitchenette, and a compact bathroom.

One of the main differences between RVs and UK motorhomes is their size. RVs are often much larger and more spacious than UK motorhomes, making them more comfortable for extended trips. However, their larger size also makes them more difficult to maneuver on narrow roads and in tight spaces.

Another key difference is the level of luxury and amenities offered. While RVs often include a wide range of luxurious features, such as leather seating and high-end appliances, UK motorhomes are generally more basic in their design and amenities.

Overall, the choice between an RV and a UK motorhome largely depends on the type of travel you are planning and your personal preferences. RVs are ideal for long-distance travel and luxury, while UK motorhomes are perfect for exploring the UK's charming towns and countryside.
