www.justgo.uk.com/relocation.htmlJustgo motor home hire want ppl to pay 50% of normal hire of a motor home but the full price to hire the extras like bedding, toilet, table and chairs ect. Then drive their motorhome from Italy back to the uk, which just happens to be where they need the MH so they can hire it out. You have to make your own way to Italy but they kindly don't charge single direction use for the motor home. Which is incredibly kind of them, need a sat nav? £6 a day. Table and chairs to sit out and enjoy Europe? £5 per day. Bed linen? £50 for a double, no ta. I'm just going to leave skid marks on your brand new cushions. They do give you a free ferry crossing as part of the deal, which is fair enough as you are now working for them as there delivery courier and have paid for the privilege to do so. It sells out every year!!!

Yep, sounds like a scam to me. As for bed linen, don't they have recycling areas in Italy? Failing that, the Italian equivalent of Asda or Ikea should do...

Exactly. Does it say if you have to be back in the UK by a certain time? IE can you take your time or do you have to rush?
Edit. You can take your time. Already sold out!

Years ago I knew a couple of Greek Cypriots who exported small trucks to Cyprus. They would pay you a small amount, subsistence really, to drive a secondhand truck down there but you got a free road trip and a budget airline ticket back. I knew people who went several times
TBH if they were still doing it now (maybe they are) I would jump at it. A free road trip to Cyprus? with somebody else paying for the fuel?

Sounds like a good little number. When I was driving for a living I always felt like I was being paid to be on holiday, out every night down the road & a different place to lay your head every night. Best part was nobody trying to move you on every time you parked up!😉

It's only a scam if they misrepresent it. It sounds to me like a reasonable way to take a pleasant trip across Europe and end up home.
