does anyone know of companys that rent camper vans and vans? i've found some but they have restrictions like drivers must be over 25 and so on. i'll be 20 when i'll need it so i'm just asking around. if anyone has a camper for 6-8 people i could borrow(i'd pay for it of course) then say so here please and we can talk about it
i'd say buying it would be the best way to do it. get an old VW or something like

or even better (perhaps)

and insure this how. u know what car insures cost pablo?
try on the net maybe (i think you can do that now). i heard once that a camper van was cheaper than a real car/van as they are normally only used for the summer months.

ok 7 people and all the gear they need plus food and cooking gear and anything else that needs to come on a 10 - 14 day road trip will not fit no matter how u pack it
i wanna go on a road trip! Damn it. Maybe you'll need to get two vans? Expensive, but there's more room.

unless we find a camper van then it's a transit and an mpv in order to carry people. organise your own, we going to lowlands in holland next august.

ya but you'd need a truck license to drive them.Or hgv one or somthing.My father had trouble getting a company to let him take the van out of the country 2 years ago.That was only to England.I wouldn't trust the fiat ducoti that far either.

who cares we going. and col we can drive anything up to 3 and a half tonnes and carry driver plus 8 people as long as insurance allows. it's all written on your license. the beauty of renting stuuf is that the insurance is included in the price

i suggest we go anyway and just rent one while we're over there.ok we cant bring all the cool stuff home or bring lots of beer but we could still see a class act.my only other suggestion is do a camp out like witness.we should have vo problem bringing cars over and sure we could bring tents.not the same but we could still bring stuff back with us
I know! Rent an old bus! There's nowhere to sleep, but hey! That's probably impossible, but it's worth a try. Or not. You might need a special license.

u do need a special licence which none of us hold and having somwhere to sleep was the whole point of getting a camper van
Ah, I see. Forgive that message, then. I was watching re-runs of Dharma and Greg!
