By KARRYON @karryontravel16 Jan 2018From vehicles to mobile homes – the well-known travel brand is shifting into second gear by expanding its online business. As of today, Travel Agents can turn to DriveAway Holidays for more than car rentals, as the company introduces motorhome rentals. Vroom Vroom! Using the DriveAway Holidays website, Travel Agents can book their clients on a Millers-esque campervan holiday (minus the Mexican border drama) using real-time quotes, live pricing and live availability. The website will also have equipment and extras options, which can be added to the quote or booking at any time. According to DriveAway Holidays’ Managing Director, Chris Hamill, the product expansion is the first of “many new initiatives” for 2018 and is designed to showcase the company’s “strength, flexibility and convenience” to Agents.

Hamill continued, saying that consultants will benefit from the move as it means easy commission of nearly $300 on an average motorhome rental of $3,069.
