Comfort over canvas is the order of the day for festival-goers in 2015
This summer, festival-goers could be more likely to get lost in a mass of campervans than tents, according to new research.
The increase in hire leisure vehicles getting ready to joing in with this summer’s festivities comes as campervan hire company, Unbeatable Hire, have announced bookings for Glastonbury have increased by 60 per cent compared to three years ago, whilst bookings for V Festival, Chelmsford are up 113 per cent since 2012.
Headlining the sudden surge for 2015, however, is the Latitude festival, with bookings up by an astronomical 433 per cent.
Unbeatable spokesman Renford Nelson said: “Our customers have said that staying in a motorhome at music festivals is not only a lot more fun than a hotel, but also cost-effective.
“Festivals generally make up ten per cent or more of our overall annual bookings, and 2015 looking even stronger with 15 per cent or more of the annual bookings.”
Motorhomes can be hired for around £100 a day during the summer, proving rather costly, but could you be tempted away from tradition in favour of comfort? Let us know whether you’ll be taking your four wheeled friend to a festival this year.
