We don’t think we need to give you 7 reasons for renting a motorhome in Scotland this summer, but you best believe we have them for you. We actually have more than 7, but maybe we borderline harassment if we give you more than that.
It just so happens we’re the experts in this field. With our collection featuring luxury models like the Etrusco T7400 and the Etrusco I7400QBC, we know all there’s to know about touring around Scotland in a motorhome.
Read on to find out more (we hope you make it to reason 7; it’s a good one!).
1. Freedom to Explore at Your Own Pace
Freedom. It’s the ultimate freedom.
Consider driving along the winding Highland roads without a schedule to meet. A hired motorhome allows you to move through Scotland without accommodation restrictions or looking for public transport or taxis. And let us tell you, in some of the remote areas of Scotland, you’re not getting a taxi.
Whether you like to take routes with sudden changes or want to go through a predetermined path, it is all up to you.
2. Wake Up to Breathtaking Scenery
Why would you want to stay in a hotel when you can wake up next to nature?
From the rugged cliffs of the Isle of Skye to the rolling hills of the Cairngorms, a motorhome allows you to park right in the heart of Scotland’s most stunning landscapes. Well, as long as you’re parking somewhere legal. You can open the door of your motorhome to breathe the fresh air and view the hills or mountains around you; the choice is always in your hands. Do you enjoy the sounds of birds in a forest or waves on the shore? You now have the freedom to choose.
3. Cost-Effective Way to See More
Travelling in a motorhome can prove to be economical. With accommodation and transport combined, you allot the money you would spend on hotels, train rides, and rented cars toward something more fun. Everything is faster and effortless with a harnessed kitchen that allows for home-cooked meals instead of daily dining out. There is more to travel when money is not a worry.
Eating right beside Loch Ness or having picnic lunches while looking over Glencoe Valley is a sight to save for.
4. Perfect for Family Adventures
A motorhome acts as a point of lodging, making it ideal for camping families.
The children can bring their favourite toys, you can cater as many snacks as you would like, and there is still enough space to stretch. This means long car journeys are not a reason for any complaints. The best part is bonding with family over campfires, board games, and extensive stargazing.
5. Get Closer to Nature
The true beauty of Scotland’s national parks, lochs, and forests is best experienced in person, parking up right next to it, and waking up right next to it.
A motorhome allows you to camp right next to wildlife hotspots and hike as the sun begins to rise to capture its beauty. Nature is undeniably perfect to relax in and makes for great memories. Not to mention the nighttime audio of waves crashing on the shore or waking up to frozen quietude, with deer grazing around. Above all, if done properly, nature camping helps preserve and reduce the impact on the ecosystem for the future.
6. Flexibility to Follow the Weather
If you ever find yourself in Scotland, you’ll come to realise the weather can shift drastically in a short period of time.
While hiring a motorhome allows you to chase the sun, whenever rain clouds begin to hover over you, easily pack up your belongings and head to the other side of the country. Don’t let us put you off. Rest assured, you’ll make the most out of your stay while being able to easily adjust your plans according to the weather.
7. Create Unforgettable Memories
Did we keep you until point #7?
Now, it’s time perhaps to mention the most important point, and that is the memories motorhome road trips create. From sharing laughter to stumbling upon pristine locations of the major paths, from the joy of waking up to a new destination each morning—these are memories that never fade.
The most remarkable aspects are the magical ones, like seeing the northern lights from your motorhome, cooking a meal with your family after a whole day of adventures, or sitting together to watch the sky gleaming with stars
Hiring a Scottish motorhome is not just about transporting you from A to B. It encompasses so much more. It’s about the sense of adventure and making these incredible memories with your closest friends and family. What are you waiting for? Scotland is waiting, and the open road is yours for the taking (unless there’s traffic, sorry about that!).
