Owning a static caravan or holiday lodge means you\u2019ve always got a special place to escape to. But for some owners, there\u2019s also the option of renting it out to holidaymakers to help cover the running costs.<\/p>\n

\"Family<\/p>\n

So, in our recent poll we asked owners if they hired out their holiday caravan or lodge?\u00a0And after more than 2oo votes, here\u2019s how you voted and what you had to say…<\/p>\n

Hiring out poll results…<\/h3>\n

The majority of owners told us they prefer to keep their holiday caravan or lodge just for themselves (36%), while 30% are happy to share it with family or friends without charging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Site rules play a big part too, with nearly a quarter (23%) saying their holiday park doesn\u2019t allow hiring at all.<\/p>\n

Only a small number \u2013 eight percent \u2013 told us they used their unit to generate income, and just three per cent might consider it in the future.<\/p>\n

What owners said…<\/h3>\n

As always, holiday caravanners gave us valuable insight into their decisions:<\/p>\n

Anne Marchant said: \u201cIt is the holiday park\u2019s policy that lodges are not rented out, however family and friends can stay in them, which we really like as they also get to experience the joy we get from owning our beautiful lodge and also know we are insured with Leisuredays.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Yvonne Walton added: \u201cWe bought our static as a home from home. The site is allowing owners to rent out when the new contracts are issued. We have no intention of renting and not happy about it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"hiring<\/p>\n

Alan Thomas Ludlow told us: \u201cThe caravan park only allows the owners to allow family friends\/relations to use the caravan which they own.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

These responses highlight the mix of personal preference and park rules that shape whether owners rent out or keep their holiday caravans private.<\/p>\n

Protecting your holiday home<\/h3>\n

Whether you choose to keep your static caravan purely for family use, or decide to rent it out for income, it\u2019s important to have the right insurance.<\/p>\n
