Marius Balandis, representative of the Puikūs kemperiai motorhome sales and rental company, said that the number of motorhomes is increasing. According to him, people travel both in Lithuania and abroad.
“Usually families travel, a husband, a wife and two children. Sometimes couples also travel, preferring smaller campers.
In Lithuania, people also rent motorhomes for a week, at which point they go abroad for a longer period of time. And the travel destinations are very diverse: Scandinavia, southern Europe. Some even go to Greece, “said M. Balandis.
According to him, renting a motorhome for the summer costs 130-140 euros a day.
“But people are wrong to think that a motorhome trip will cost less than flying to Turkey. This method is not the cheapest. Still, those who want to save prefer to travel not in the summer season, but in spring or autumn, when renting a motorhome is cheaper.
And the biggest advantage of travel campers is independence: people can travel wherever they want, stop and spend the night almost anywhere, ”said M. Balandis.
According to him, renting a caravan should be done in advance.
“For example, we currently have a caravan for rent only in the second half of August,” said M. Balandis.
The most popular route is the beach.
Jurijus Silašinas, director of another caravan rental company, Julturas, noted that during the quarantine, travelers’ routes were shortened.
“People usually travel to Lithuania, visit the Baltic countries or neighboring Poland. Usually, residents start the route on the Lithuanian coast, in Karklė, continue to Liepaja to Ventspils and return via Riga or Tallinn. This route is usually completed by travelers within two weeks, “said the head of the company.
According to him, some people save, so take a shorter trip than a week.
“If we compare the prices of trips by plane and caravan, we will have to look at the number of people traveling. If a family of 4 or 5 people goes on vacation, it is more profitable to go by camper, it will be cheaper, because for such a number of people, only how many plane tickets will be unleashed.
And renting a motorhome costs 100-120 euros a day. The price depends on the chosen caravan, “said J. Silašinas.
He noted that the company’s clients are mostly Lithuanian, although many foreigners used to come.
“We had a lot of clients from Britain, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine. Now its decline, the quarantine has taken over.
Although we recently had clients from France, the family rented a caravan and bicycles for a trip to the Baltic, ”said the director of the company.
Traveling families or couples
Darius, a representative of another motorhome rental and sales company, Keliauju kemperiu, said that this year customers were in no rush to book a motorhome trip.
“The trips started in mid-June, people expected a more favorable pandemic situation, they weren’t in a hurry to travel. Some people in general are still afraid to travel. However, those who already dare to travel not only to Lithuania, but also to Italy, Croatia, Poland and Spain.
People who travel in motorhomes say they feel freer. In Turkey, travelers complain about having to spend time at hotel closures because the pandemic means they cannot go on excursions everywhere, ”said a company spokesperson.
According to him, some people want to rent a motorhome for a very short time, 3 or 4 days.
“However, we recommend that you take a longer period of time, at least 5 days, because just preparing for the trip, stacking things and then unloading takes time. Therefore, we recommend that those traveling to Lithuania rent a motorhome for a week and those who go abroad for at least 10-15 days.
Families generally travel as families. Friends’ companies don’t really choose such trips. People complain that when they leave in large groups, they get tired of each other and the small space. It is not easy to live in a 10 square meter room for a week or two, ”said a company representative.
According to him, couples often travel in two separate motorhomes.
Not only do you rent, you also buy motorhomes
“In general, every year we have the largest number of clients, newcomers who are going to make a trip of this type for the first time. And those travelers who” stay “with a motorhome trip buy it themselves. Caravan is quite expensive, and when you buy it, the price depreciates a bit, so it is worth buying your own.
We often have clients who rent and then buy a caravan. Their summer rental costs between 140 and 160 euros a day. And the sale prices start from 40 thousand. “said a company representative.
He assured that the caravan must be tested before buying, otherwise people will not know if this mode of travel is suitable and acceptable for them.
“We have already had a case in which people bought us a caravan for 120 thousand. And now they sell it for 70 thousand. Euros after only 2 trips. It is a fairly large amount, so it is advisable to think about it before buying ”Advised the company representative.
