Over the last few years, traveling by campervan has become one of the preferred travel options among young and not-so-young people. Want to know why this alternative is prevailing over traditional tourism? We'll tell you all about it!
Advantages of traveling in a campervan
Why are these types of vehicles and this way of traveling the world becoming a trend? Well, if you are dying to know, these are the reasons people most commonly give for traveling by campervan:
1. The freedom to organize and modify the trip as you like
You've surely experienced, maybe even more than once, being overwhelmed by an overly structured and measured getaway, right? Having little room for improvisation, in the end, kills much of the fun of visiting places. In a campervan, however, that never happens. You can go wherever you like, and sleep wherever you choose.
2. Simple operation
You might be thinking that, with its bulky size, this vehicle could be complex and tiring to drive, but that's really not the case. Since you won't be going at high speeds, you'll find that it's comfortable and much more maneuverable than you might have expected.
3. You can carry everything you need
Have you ever been sightseeing and your whole budget goes into paying for lunch, breakfast, dinner, coffee, etc.? Most likely. But what would your trip be like if you had a kitchen with you at all times? I'm sure it would be much more comfortable, economical and practical!
With a campervan you avoid most of the usual hassles involved in traveling, including food and finding a place to sleep. As a result, you can make longer trips, since you will be spending much less.
Travel by campervan or stay in a hotel?
We have already seen the characteristics of this type of vehicle, as well as its advantages. Now, we want to discuss the advantages of a campervan over staying at a hotel, and how you can get the most out of your trips.
First of all, there is one glaring reality to accept: in a hotel you will have more space (at least in most of them). But, it is also true that, when traveling, you probably don’t want to spend all day in bed or in the room, right? That's why regular campervan users don't consider space a problem at all. Let's talk about some other aspects where campervans and hotels go head to head:
1. Price
It goes without saying that the campervan is the clear winner in this comparison. It won't cost you anything to sleep in and, moreover, you can do so under the stars. This is a very significant advantage, especially with the elevated prices that hotels can reach in the high seasons.
2. Ease of cancellation
When you are on a road trip and crossing, for example, several points of the country, it is very likely that you will come across real gems where you will want to stay a little longer. If you plan your trip around hotel reservations, this will be impossible, but not in a campervan.
It will be as simple as finding a place to park and discovering charming areas in the area where you have chosen to stay. Sounds good, doesn't it?
3. Freedom of movement
Flexible check-in is often touted by hotels as a competitive advantage that makes them more desirable. And it is also true that leaving the room before a given time or checking in after 4pm is a major inconvenience when you have to take a flight or train.
However, this is not a problem in a campervan. You can get to places and leave when you feel like it. As well as staying a little longer than you planned.
4. It is just as easy to book either
If you don't own a campervan you might think that your only real alternative is a hotel, but this is not the case. Why not rent a campervan? At Ok Mobility, we offer you this type of vehicles. The perfect choice.
In short, you have seen why traveling in a campervan is so popular and why so many people prefer this method over hotels and air or train travel. Are you ready to hit the road? Count on us!
