Can You Hire A Motorhome For A Group Of Six?
Yes, you can hire a motorhome for a group of six – and it’s easier than you might think. Whether you’re planning a family road trip around Scotland, a summer adventure through Ireland, or a group getaway across England, hiring a motorhome for six people is very straightforward with Bunk Campers. You don’t need to split into separate vehicles, compromise on comfort, or sacrifice luggage space. The right motorhome makes travelling together genuinely enjoyable.
The Grande – Our 6-Berth Motorhome
The Grande is Bunk Campers’ dedicated 6-berth motorhome, and it’s the only vehicle in our fleet with a bunk bed layout. At 6.99 metres long, it’s built to carry up to six people comfortably, though we’d recommend it most for four adults and two children – a sweet spot for families with younger kids who love the bunks.
Sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully laid out across three zones:
- Rear bunk beds – perfect for children or lighter sleepers
- A spacious double bed in the overhead cab
- The dinette converts into an additional bed for the sixth person
The Grande comes fully kitted for life on the road. There’s a complete kitchen with a gas hob, fridge and all the cooking essentials you’d need. The bathroom includes a toilet, sink and shower, so you’re never reliant on campsite facilities and with generous storage throughout, there’s room for luggage, sports kit, games and everything else a group of six tends to accumulate.
Is It Easy To Drive?
A motorhome nearly 7 metres long can feel daunting at first glance, but the Grande has been designed with everyday drivers in mind. It handles well on the UK and Ireland road network – including the tighter coastal roads and hillier routes that make these destinations so worth exploring. Anyone with a standard full category B driving licence can get behind the wheel, provided they meet our usual insurance criteria (driver aged 25-75, licence held for over two years).
What’s Included In Your Hire?
Every Grande rental comes with a solid base of essentials:
- Kitchen & cleaning pack (cutlery, crockery, pots, pans, kettle & utensils)
- Gas canister
- First aid kit
- 24 hour roadside assistance
- Unlimited mileage
- Discount on ferry crossings
Optional extras are worth considering for a group of six including our bedding kits, camping furniture (table and chairs for up to six), child seats, and our popular value pack – which bundles bedding, CDW cover, camping furniture and toilet chemicals into one cost effective add on.
Where Can You Pick Up The Grande?
The Grande is available from Bunk Campers across the UK and Ireland, making it accessible whether you’re setting off from London, Edinburgh, Belfast or Dublin. One-way rentals are available too, which opens point-to-point itineraries rather than looping back to your starting point.
Packing Smart For A Group Of Six
Six people have a lot of luggage – a motorhome holiday works for those who pack with intention. Storage in the Grande is generous by campervan standards, though it still pays to be selective before you load up.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Soft bags pack more efficiently, fitting into overhead lockers & underbed storage
- Coordinate with your group before travel – avoiding 6 people bringing duplicates
- Everyone having an easy access bag with overnight essentials saves unpacking at every stop
- Layers win over bulky outerwear on UK & Ireland trips where weather has its own mind
For families, pack a small crate or cloth box for kids’ toys, books and activities. Keeping that contained makes the journey far less chaotic.
