Thank you. 8 people, might need to get 2 campervan (4 ppl each). Read that May is the cheapest month for campervans.
Any recommendations on which company should I go for? Apollo ?
There are reasons why the prices are low during May and leading towards the winter seasons.
a. day light savings will be gone by then that means, the days will be getting shorter.
b. the temperature will be getting colder.
Given that you have a group of 8, you will have to hire 2 campervans. In my opinions, having two campervans will slow down the journey as it will be either the back car driving too slow and/or the front car driving too fast.
My advice for you when comes to hiring a campervan is not to look at the price but when it offers. Safety and comfort should never be comprised.
Questions you might want to ask are
a. Do you intend to sleep in the campervans for transport only and sleep in motels all nights,
b. or do you intend to sleep some of the times in the campervans.
Remember 8 people going means, at least 8 big luggages. Where are you going to park the 8 luggages. If you say you are staying in motels each night, then you only need to hire a 8 seater van and a station wagon to carry the luggages.
Do the maths, sometimes campervans hiring could be more expensive than motels.
If you elect to sleep in the campervan, the main driver must have a good sleep. Driving the next day with a lousy sleep is asking for trouble in an unknown land.
