Camptoo — Explore the Beauty of the Country at Your Own Pace
Camptoo is a sharing economy platform that connects the owners and renters of campervans, motorhomes, and caravans. It operates in Europe and Australia. Camptoo helps people share the joy and fun of traveling with a motorhome or caravan at their own pace.
Website: https://www.camptoo.com/
How Camptoo works:
- You create a free advertisement on Camptoo with a short description and some photos of your caravan, RV, or camper trailer. You also set the nightly rental fee, availability, and vehicle rules.
- Potential renters browse through the listing on Camptoo and choose the one that best fits their needs. If they have found and liked your caravan, RV, or camper trailer, they will send you a message or a reservation request. You're the one to decide whether to accept or reject the request.
- Camptoo will manage the rest and deposit the rental fee into your account on the pick-up day.
On the pick-up day, you meet the travelers in person.
