I was planning a holiday and I wanted to get away with my family. So I searched the Internet and found an ad: Campervan Rental Scotland. It sounded interesting. I liked the idea of camping and I have the pickiest kids. Maybe a campervan would make this an easy trip. I started doing some more research.

The first thing I found out was that renting a campervan cost about the same as renting a hotel. That was a big plus. For me, two kids and not having to worry about making it to a hotel in time for check-in would make things a lot easier. Okay, so I could afford a campervan. That was one thing down.

The 2008 Honda Odyssey is a fine example of the popular minivan vehicle. It is ideal for carrying the whole family, the shopping, the family dog or your tools of trade.

The Odyssey is powered by a V6 3. 5 L engine which produces 244 hp. The EX-L and the Touring models also feature cylinder deactivation during cruising, which reduces fuel consumption on the open road. There is no need to be concerned about noticing a loss of power though, because you barely notice the device has cut in when you are driving.

Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles recently carried out a survey of van hire customers regarding the vans they had driven and how they felt they performed, especially when compared to the cars these occasional van users normally drive. The results are very positive and really bring to light the way vans have developed over the past few years.

1,000 people who had recently hired a van, be it Vauxhall or otherwise, were surveyed, these people being occasional users, needing the larger load capacity for moving home or transporting large items. One of the biggest indicators of how well the van has developed is that a full 90% of respondents were happy with the comfort and specification of the van they had used. Many Vauxhall vans now come fitted as standard with electric windows and air conditioning, matching the standards of cars. Even a few years ago these were unheard of fitments in vans so it is obvious that these light commercial vehicles have really come a long way in a short space of time.
