Welcome to our listing and Hugo, our fabulous automatic motorhome. No need to buy your own motorhome, use ours! Insurance is included. We are well placed in St Albans, 2 minutes from J22 of the M25, and close to the M1, so for all those who from the city, come to us, leave your car and venture into the peaceful countryside (and visa versa!!) Hire out our well maintained home on wheels and go explore the country in comfort. On board, you will find a fully functioning kitchen with extras like an air fryer, fridge and freezer, gas oven, electric and gas kettles and a toaster as well as a great area to relax and eat. (The toaster,electric kettle and air fryer require mains power). Unlike some motorhomes, ours has a separate shower so no getting your feet wet when using the toilet. On warm days, whilst plugged into a campsites electric point, we have remote controlled air conditioning in the living area, an unusual feature that will make warm summer evenings bearable. Unlike some other hire companies that charge, we offer as standard, insurance, breakdown cover, levelling ramps, toilet chemicals, Adblu and LPG gas, all included in the price (gas is chargeable if hires are off-grid). There are plenty of USB plug sockets for your devices, and you can connect the smart TV to your hotspot to enjoy Apps like Netflix and Prime (you need to sign in to your own accounts). There is an aerial on the roof that will work if you have signal. There is a TV in the lounge and rear bedroom. Our motorhome has all the utensils you need for cooking, so self catering will be a breeze. Bed linen, duvets, pillows or towels are not included so please bring your own. (You can request some for an extra charge - see house rules). There will be limited cleaning supplies on board, but please bring toilet paper and kitchen towels and bathroom shampoo/handwash etc. Gas is supplied, however you may need to swap bottles should one run out. Gas is complimentary if you are also plugged into the mains. In the back there is a large storage area under the bunk bed, which can be accessed from outside or from within the vehicle. At the rear of the vehicle there is a bike rack that holds 4 bicycles. The rear bedroom is a double bed and the electric pull down bed in the lounge is a small double. Please note that there is a tracker installed for security purposes. Before the hire, photos will be taken inside and out. Existing damage will be pointed out. This provides peace of mind that the condition of the vehicle is recorded correctly before you take it out. On board there is a Garmin satnav. Whilst you may also wish to use your own device, our satnav is designed for motorhomes and so will choose routes that avoid width restrictions (which are not a welcome sight I can assure you). An outside table and chairs is available to hire for £25. We will go through some of the features of the vehicle when you arrive, but there is a user manual on board to help explain everything. Feel free to ask any questions during the hire if required. Please note that if the motorhome is returned after 12:00, a charge of £15 per hour will be incurred. Please note that as with all motorhomes, there is a weight limit. You are able to bring approx 350Kg of cargo (this includes the weight of all the passengers excluding the driver). No single sex groups please

    We had an amazing experience renting The escape pod over the weekend! Simon was absolutely brilliant super friendly, helpful, and organised from start to finish. Pick-up and drop-off were really easy and well coordinated. The motorhome itself was spotless clean, tidy, and really well looked after. It had everything we needed and made our trip so comfortable. We couldnt have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend The Escape Pod and Simon well definitely be booking again!

    Great van in perfect condition. Everything very easy to use. Worth noting an excellent fridge with drinks draw capable of holding 6 large bottles!

    We had an amazing last-minute getaway to Wales, all thanks to Simon! After our original booking was cancelled, Simon stepped in and provided us with a fantastic motorhome on very short notice. The motorhome was spotless, well-equipped, and perfect for our family of three. Simon was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for our trip. His prompt communication and flexibility made the entire process seamless. Our journey through Wales was unforgettable, and having such a reliable and comfortable motorhome made it even more special. We highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a top-notch motorhome rental experience. Thank you, Simon, for making our spontaneous adventure possible!
