'Airbnb for caravans'
Jake from Camplify explains "it's the Airbnb for caravans". To hire, you simply select the location where you want to go camping and all the vans available in that area will pop up. Then, all that's left to do is choose the camper that suits you.
Since half the battle of a camping trip is making the booking, Camplify has made its booking process simple. Hirers can either pick up their van, or choose to have it delivered to their desired location, taking all the stress away.
With zero fuss, the company aims to take the head-scratching out of 'Where to start?' and takes you straight to 'Where do I want to go?'.
The holiday option is cheaper than most hotels, and affords more flexibility in terms of destination, especially during the pandemic period. Getty
