Leading UK & Ireland motorhome rental company, Bunk Campers, has announced it is expanding its operations in the UK with a new motorhome hire depot at Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport. Located just minutes from Heathrow Terminal 5, the brand-new motorhome hire depot will open in Spring 2019, serving the growing campervan and motorhome hire market across England.

Following a record-breaking year for the company, the location represents an investment of over £1M for Bunk Campers. The new Heathrow depot is located outside of the London congestion zone and only a 6 minute transfer from Terminal 5, offering holidaymakers from 85 countries direct access to their motorhome adventure.

A globally recognised tourism brand and trusted partner of some of the world's leading travel promoters, Bunk Campers is one of the few multi-location rental companies in the industry. The new Heathrow depot adds to the company's impressive network of depots across the UK & Ireland including Coventry, Leeds, Edinburgh, Belfast & Dublin.

Bunk Campers will offer its full fleet of rental vehicles from the new Heathrow depot, including custom-built Volkswagen T6 campervans manufactured exclusively for the rental fleet by sister company Nomad Campervans. As the exclusive UK & Ireland rental partners for Weinsberg - German-built motorhomes from the Knaus Tabbert Group – quality and comfort are at the forefront of all rental vehicles with 2-6 berth options available to suit couples, groups of friends and families alike. From the new Heathrow depot, Bunk Campers customers will also be able to tour Europe with Bunk Campers specialised European Cover.

Alongside the new depot, the investment represents a 25% increase in fleet with several new jobs being created across a variety of disciplines including operations, customer service and vehicle detailing.

Bunk Campers Manager Director, Keith Charlton commented:

“London remains a strong location for Bunk Campers and this new depot represents our commitment to providing the best customer experience from the moment they book, to the time they return their camper. London Heathrow serves all major international destinations and provides a convenient access point for our international customers. Its central location is also advantageous to domestic customers, thanks to the links with the London Underground and London Bus services. With this investment, we hope to bring the beauty of England and the rest of the UK and Ireland to more customers around the world”

To celebrate the launch of the new Heathrow depot, Bunk Campers are offering 30% off all England rentals in May and June when customers book online at www.bunkcampers.com. Bunk Campers customers can also enjoy permanent discounts of up to 30% on overnight pitches at The Camping and Caravanning Club sites across the UK.
