Depending on the scope of an upcoming corporate day out, you may be planning to hire a 15-passenger van and driver, or you may just opt to have the employees carpool or sort out their own transport. Any of these models will work, although there are plenty of other variables to take into account. Consider the following:

• Is the event taking place close enough that your employees can be expected to drive themselves?
• If you are hiring a van, what sort of accommodation will you need to arrange for the driver
• Second to the previous question, how much is the fee for the driver on top of the fee for the rental?
• If employees are driving themselves, will the company reimburse them for miles and petrol?

In most cases, the company stands to save a fair bit of money by providing its own transportation. Putting everyone in company cars is not a particularly attractive option, and it could be a nightmare in terms of insurance, purchasing petrol and making sure everyone is on the same page with directions. 

Truth be told, there is a great deal of money to be saved for companies that don’t mind thinking outside the box when it comes to getting everyone to a corporate outing, team building event or something else along those lines. Few companies actually do this, but there is much to be said for looking into campervan hire in Perth to transport your employees – especially if you are dealing with a relatively small group.

Renting is cheaper than you might expect, and doing so eliminates multiple petrol tabs and the need to check your company’s insurance policies (since the rental agency will provide insurance). It also allows your group to travel much more comfortably, with a refrigerator, kitchenette, comfortable seating and toilet facilities all in the vehicle. 

Here are a few more ways in which hiring a caravan can save your company some cash:

Avoid taxis 

If your corporate event is going to involve any amount of public transport (especially taxis) then you stand to save a lot of money by renting a vehicle. The savings multiply assuming you can fit several people into a single vehicle. 

Take advantage of self-catering

If the company is picking up the ticket on a corporate outing, the food and drinks are going to take a bite out of the budget. If your group is in a caravan or camper, you can bring along refreshments that everyone can enjoy while on the road. This could cut out the need to pick up the lunch tab. Of course, it’s probably still best to buy everyone dinner. 

Add some flash to team building

Team building exercises make for popular corporate outings, and they serve more than a few valuable purposes. If you hire a camper or caravan for a weekend team building exercise, your group can enjoy more room on the road and (at least for some) the option to sleep in the vehicle rather than in a tent, lodge, etc.
