Our ageing camper van is beginning to show it's age. We (my wife and I) decided to start looking for a van with the aim of trading in after this years tour. We were looking for something new ? ish ? to last us until the end of our camper days. We were looking at paying £30,000.00 to maximum of £40,000.00, a lot of money for a purchase that will depreciate.
I am now considering renting each year as an alternative. I must point out that our camper is our only vehicle and as such is quite expensive to run. Renting is expensive but not having the maintenance, insurance and tax costs of owning, also the uncertainty about the future of diesel vehicles, will they be taxed out of existence by government in the future makes renting seem more sensible. I could buy a small eco car for our everyday use.
What's to lose ?
