Twenty years on the road,
across Devon and Cornwall.

SW Camper Hire is a Devon-based campervan and motorhome hire company that has been on the road for over twenty years. The fleet includes Renault campervans and Roller Team / Auto Trail motorhomes — no VW campervans — available for hire across Devon, Cornwall and beyond. The business is run by Julian, who has built a loyal customer base through personal service, dog-friendly policies and well-maintained vehicles.

A booking system purpose-built
for campervan hire.

A website with a booking system purpose-built for campervan hire. Off-the-shelf accommodation booking plugins don't handle the specifics of vehicle hire well — availability by individual van, seasonal pricing, minimum stay rules, extras and add-ons, and the operational detail that a small hire fleet needs.

The site also needed to present the fleet attractively, showcase customer testimonials, and support ongoing marketing through social media, email campaigns and Google Ads.

A custom booking engine,
and a marketing programme around it.

We designed and built a custom booking engine from scratch in PHP — not a plugin configuration, but genuine custom development. The system handles per-vehicle availability, date-based pricing, extras, and the full booking flow from search to confirmation. This is the only fully custom-built booking system in our portfolio and demonstrates custom development capability beyond CMS and plugin work.

Alongside the website, we provide ongoing social media content, email marketing campaigns and Google Ads management. Organic search traffic grew 24% year-on-year, and the site saw a doubling of page views in the most recent period — evidence that the combination of a well-built site and sustained marketing delivers compounding results.

"

A fantastic job setting up and maintaining our website and booking engine — we get many compliments from clients on both its appearance and ease of use. Friendly, knowledgeable, forward-thinking, and a high standard of work with no fuss. Highly recommended!
