Escape from the doom and gloom in a campervan

On the face of it, starting a business in the middle of a deep recession sounds crazy, especially in the leisure industry, but that’s exactly what Milton Keynes businessman David Williams has done.

Thinking that this is just the time to escape the doom and gloom, and replace them with freedom, fresh air and wonderful views, David’s company, onelife, deals exclusively with the hire of the latest luxurious Volkswagen California camper vans that come fully equipped with everything needed, whether it’s for a short break or a long tour.

The trend towards “staycations” is expected to continue growing as families opt to stay closer to home for their summer holidays while the country works it way out of recession. Short breaks will increasingly replace the traditional week or fortnight away as holidaymakers try to avoid unfavourable exchange rates and airport delays.

This is where onelife fills the gap. “A camper van is the perfect base from which to explore the stunning British landscape that we’ve all missed because we’ve been holidaying abroad,” said David Williams, Director. “The traditional holiday is back, but in a stylish and sophisticated new guise!”

Great outdoor experiences – such as sailing on Lake Windermere, being at the heart of a festival, sleeping on the shores of a loch, surfing in Cornwall or riding horses under the canopy of the New Forest – are all within easy reach when you rent a onelife camper van.

Whether you want to explore somewhere on foot or bicycle, go hill walking, fishing, bird watching or canoeing, onelife has thought of those little luxuries that’ll make all the difference to your outdoor experience. The company’s California camper hire vehicles each come equipped with beautiful starry Cologne and Cotton bedding, duck down duvets, top quality crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment.

Conveniently placed for Beds, Bucks and Herts, onelife’s camper van hire centre means you can just turn up, leave your car (and all your worries!) and take off. Onelife will even collect you from a local airport or train station.
