Campervan owners now have a new way to earn money from their trusty leisure vehicle after Camplify launched a new programme known as Camper+.
The peer-to-peer campervan and motorhome sharing company aims to enable owners to maximise earnings from their side hustle.
Camper+ is an exclusive membership scheme that Camplify says is designed to revolutionise the rental experience.
Many of Camplify’s van owners turn to the platform because they only use their vehicle a few times a year.
In fact, the average campervanner has four trips away annually, leaving plenty of potential for lending it to others.
Introducing Camper+
While it’s free to join and list a leisure vehicle on Camplify, the new scheme is designed to offer greater peace of mind to van lenders.
Features likely to appeal to owners under the new programme include improved security and efficiency in the hiring process.
Flavia Robles Lorente, marketing manager for the UK and Spain at Camplify UK, said: “With Camper+, we’re offering owners more than just a membership – it’s an investment in the future of their rental business.
“By reducing commission to six per cent plus VAT and providing comprehensive insurance and breakdown cover, we’re ensuring that owners can keep more of their rental income while protecting their vehicles all year round.”
Features of Camper+
- Predictable monthly costs with no hidden fees, starting from £169.
- Only six per cent commission on rentals, plus VAT.
- 24/7 roadside assistance, including national recovery, for both rental and private use.
- Unlimited rental insurance that comes at a fixed cost regardless of rental frequency.
- Access to a personal account manager to optimise rental success and support any additional needs.
Is Camplify for you?
More than 5,000 owners list their vans on Camplify and the average payment they receive for the first booking is £515.
It could be an effective way to offset the initial cost of purchasing your campervan, bringing down the price of holidays even further.
All hirers go through licence and ID checks, making it more straightforward than if you tried to rent out your van on your own.
Camplify started out in Australia in 2015 and has grown to be one of the biggest caravan and motorhome sharing platforms in the world.
Its motto is to make van life accessible to all and after coming to the UK in 2019 has facilitated more than 100,000 nights away by sharing vehicles.
