Credit Crunch Holidays by Motorhome Hire

By Susan Lomas

Because of the poor GBP/EURO exchange rate, British residents will get much less for their money in Europe unless the present situation improves. At the time of writing, the situation isn't much better than it was this time last year.

As a result of this many UK residents will be not considering going abroad for their 2010 holiday unless the situation improves.

This is why the smart money is on a motorhome holiday for 2010. If the exchange rate does not improve before the summer then a motorhome holiday in the United Kingdom makes good financial sense.

If the sterling/euro exchange rate should improve in the pound sterling's favour then you could still take your already hired motorhome to Europe and make the most of getting more euros for your money. Countries such as Spain and also the former Eastern block countries such as Croatia have great cheap campsites and meals out are inexpensive.

Better fuel prices: It is worth noting that political and economic circumstances surrounding America and the Middle East have meant that fuel prices have stabilized during the autumn of 2009. Petrol and diesel are less expensive than they were a few months ago, a situation which looks likely to last into 2010 and a factor that is very important if you are considering a touring holiday.

Investing in the United Kingdom: If you do "holiday at home" in the United Kingdom you will be helping to keep small businesses in your own country afloat. You may be helping other people just like you to provide for their families. You will be making a "greener choice" too by not flying to your holiday destination.

When you hire your motorhome in the United Kingdom and you pay in pounds sterling, you are not affected by fluctuations in the European exchange rate.

Families love motorhome holidays: Children love camping holidays but sometimes Mums and Dads find the "under canvas" variety somewhat lacking in luxury! - 29948
