Renting a Caravan vs. Staying in Motels

Renting a Caravan vs. Staying in Motels


“Should I rent a caravan or stay in a motel?” This is one question that most travelers ponder over while planning their next trip. Both options are great and they offer certain benefits. But staying in a caravan is often better. The best thing about renting a caravan is that you can save a lot of money.


Check out the comparative analysis of both options below.


Lodging


Motels do offer accommodation but it is fixed in nature and it can cost you significantly more than renting a caravan. Plus, you cannot personalize it and you would have to book a motel room every time you visit a new place. This isn’t a lot of conveniences, especially if you have a large family with lots of members. With accessories such as full wall caravan awnings and caravan annexes, you can carry the comfort of your home with you in the caravan wherever you go.


Meals


Dining out can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This might seem a bit far-fetched, but this is the reality. Plus, you can never get the taste of homemade meals that you are used to. It is one thing to try out new cuisines, but basing your daily requirements completely on diners and takeout can cost you a lot. On the other hand, by renting a caravan, you can cook your own meals just like you make them at home. Caravans come equipped with refrigerators so you can stock up on all the food and beverages that you would want. If you are travelling across the country, you can always pick up local produce and enjoy local delicacies made to your taste.


Freedom


When renting a caravan, you have the ability to travel to different locations on your vacation with ease. You can travel anywhere without worrying about booking motel rooms or running into last minute problems concerning no vacancies in motels. With caravans, you can drive wherever you want, whenever you want and make the trip at your own pace. Plus, you get to check out the places that are not mentioned on the map and hit the roads less travelled. There is no better way to explore new places than hitting the road in a caravan.


Bathroom


Personal hygiene is a major concern when you are on a trip. Motels do offer good bathrooms and toilets, but they are fixed and you cannot access them when you are on the road. You need to wait till you come across a public bathroom or emergency restrooms. Caravans offer the huge convenience of having a fully-equipped bathroom on board. You can even take a shower if it is equipped in the caravan.


Affordability


You can easily park your caravan at a number of different campgrounds or other locations. Caravan parks are cheaper than most motel rooms and you can get to enjoy the natural setting by setting up your own camp. It is a memorable experience to spend the night under the stars and to gather around the campfire for spending some of the best moments of your life. When you are on the road, you can park in a nice spot and the best thing about the parking is that it is completely free. You can really save a lot of money by renting a caravan.


The Verdict


Renting a caravan is definitely a better option than booking motel rooms because of the freedom, convenience, cost saving and quality time that you get to spend with your friends and family. If you are a frequent traveler, then you should definitely consider investing in your own caravan and getting it customized to your specific needs.
