Camplify At The NEC- Making 2019 Great For Owners

There are big things afoot for 2019

By William Coleman

The world of the caravan holiday seems to be going through a lot of changes, positive ones too. As the popularity increases year after year the demand for vans, rentals in particular, has become a major part of UK tourism as thousands of people and families are staying home for their holidays.

We want to know how all these changes affect a rental company such as Camplify. It was just a few years ago that people thought AirBnB would be a flash in the pan idea and over as soon as it started but now it is one of the largest accommodation booking services on the planet.

Having a form of leisure vehicle AirBnb is quite important for the industry as a whole, the UK economy too come to think of it. A lot of people may not have the capital or cash to plunge in head first and buy a caravan or motorhome, and some may be a tad hesitant as they may have never taken a caravan holiday before.

This is where the rentals come in. A non committal way to try a caravan holiday that then provides you an experience that may just lead you to the forecourt of a local dealer. The effects of these rentals are boosting sales of vans, site bookings and local tourism economy. So we at CaravanTimes very much welcome companies like Camplify.

The other side of the service that Camplify provide is extra income for those who own leisure vehicles. If you are only able to get away a handful of times a year you can rent it out through Camplify and have a second revenue by doing very little. In some cases people are using this to help pay off the vans themselves.

We caught up with Camplify this week at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show to talk about the growth of Camplify as well as what steps they are taking to ensure they keep all their owners and renters happy campers.
