Why not hire? I`ll tell you why not. £70 extra to pick it up early..and it wasn`t even ready. We got sucked in with the good-looking website, and went ahead and paid up front, oh my god what a scam we fell for. Gave me the key it broke in my hand..I had to get some superglue I had in my van and he botched it back together, not a good sign. It fell apart again out in mid wales. Drove it to pick up the family, felt extremely shaky, everything rattled, on stopping, 3 lights had fallen out of the ceiling hanging on by the cables, some woodwork had shaken out of the floor and was loose, found knobs missing, stinking toilet hadn`t been cleaned/disinfected, stale piss smell from everybody who`d been there before us, upholstery minty and dirty, good job we covered everything in blankets. The sink would not empty, even on flat ground, and leaked on the floor internally.  I checked the tyre pressures and 3 were around 3.4BAR, with one rear at 4.6BAR..dangerous. Clearly nothing checked, no maintenance. I reset them before we went anywhere and still the boneshaker was like a broken rollercoaster.  The owners were notified as we were on a motorway as this was unbearable, and asked if we could swap it for another as it felt unsafe..they said no. We decided to carry on and get to Wales as we had been been looking forward to a break..We couldn`t do the trip we wanted to as we couldn`t bear to suffer the shaking any further.. so we stopped in Wales. Thought we would watch the TV. Nope. Can`t watch it unless the bed is lowered from the ceiling as it is obscured??  Then the Tv and lights went out in the evening after ten minutes...no more energy in the battery despite it saying it had 39% charge.. So headtorch on and that was that. Never got the safety certificate we were promised and found a gas bottle leaking so had to isolate it. They were informed of every issue up until this point, and we just got a message saying `customer service is not available`. We had to bring it back a day early as it was unbearable, could`t use it to travel where we had planned, due to it being so uncomfortable, it was truamatic, our poor dogs  were shaking with fear whilst the awful vehicle was in motion..and no lights or tv after about ten minutes (found I had to run the engine for ten minutes to get 10 minutes of light). Brought it back a day early, asked the guy to drive it to see what  I meant about poor ride quality (even the seat shook whilst driving) and he didn`t want to know. Emailed the owners, they spoke to us as if we were idiots, I suggest you get rid of your condescending attitude. Oh, and get rid of the wording on your website about "luxury" and "comfortable" these don`t apply at all, this is misrepresentation. Rang up to try and resolve our concerns, the guy Mr Knott started shouting over me and putting the phone down. What a child. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting behaviour. Avoid at all costs, this is an honest review. Their website reviews are from their friends which is questionable and scammy. Today we chased them up as they had said they would get a professional to inspect it, and send us a report (Ha what report)   however this clearly hasnt happened as I checked and they`ve already re-let this motorhome. You`re dealing with a company that have now barred my number as they have had my money and think I`m going to quietly go away. I`m not. They ripped us off.

We had a great experience renting a motorhome for a week whilst touring North Wales. It was our first time touring like this and the flexibility of being able to pull up at a campsite and be ready to go, well stay, within minutes of arriving at our pitch made life really easy. I would have given five stars but did experience some issues receiving responses to some queries I had in advance of our holiday. I used the excellently designed user portal to make these queries but did not receive a reply. When a customer follows the "contact us" process, I would expect a response is provided. Fortunately this did not detract from our overall experience and my query related to whether bedding (sheets, pillows, blankets)) was provided in the van as it was not that clear in my booking detail. It turned out bedding was not provided and we were prepared for this outcome and made a quick trip to the local superstore. The only other issue we experienced was that the vehicle was not supplied with a full fuel tank (only 3/4 full). I took a picture just after collection and returned it with a little more than 3/4 of a tank. The WhyKnott team were happy with this. In summary,  I would return again and would recommend this company to others. The website and vehicle fleet overview features were really helpful. The app was also very good but the WhyKnott team really need to check for any customer queries.

Hired this camper for a trip around Scotland to do the NC500, they were clean and well maintained and faultless for the entire trip. The wind out awning on the Fiat was such a great addition expanding our usable space when at the campsite. Chris was a pleasure to deal with to answer any queries I had thought our trip and had us all in stitches with his witty replies. Will not hesitate to hire again with these guys! Thanks for a great trip.

I would definitely recommend hiring a motor home from why knott, friendly helpful company and the quality of the motor home was a very high standard, fully equipped with everything you need and made our holiday a memorable experience.

Hired a motorhome for the first time and what an experience we had. Enjoyed it so much that we will no doubt be hiring again. Why Knott were a great company to deal with too with easy access via a what's app group if there was any problems. Highly recommend.
