Going on a group vacation is a concept that appeals to families and groups of friends. Like any trip, it requires organization! A bit more, since many of us have to go to the place and need a place to sleep. You think that organizing a group getaway is too complicated and tend to give up when it comes to making things happen? The following tips will help you realize your desire to enjoy a destination together.
How to get there as a group?
When you decide to go on a group vacation, one of the first things to think about is how to get to the destination. Taking the plane or the train is fine, but combined with the rental of several cars to get around once there, the bill for transportation can quickly become expensive.
A good way to cope with the need to travel with several people is to rent a 12-seater minibus, and even better, with a driver! With Groupito, renting an adapted vehicle could not be easier. All you have to do is enter the place of departure, the destination, the dates and the number of people. Within an hour, you will receive up to 5 quotes from group transportation professionals to compare. Each quote triggers a comparison of up to 20 different transporters whose transport licenses, insurance and company registrations have been carefully checked. Hirers even have access to all the necessary information and photos of the vehicles offered.
One of the great advantages is that a driver can be provided to drive the group from the place of departure to the place of vacation. The driver can even be available to make additional trips during the stay. Practical to visit the surroundings without getting tired! This concept also applies to the rental of a coach, for example, for a group business trip.
In the end, holidaymakers not only simplify their lives when traveling in France or Europe as a group, but they also make interesting savings on the transportation budget.
Which accommodation for a group?
Accommodation is the other sensitive point of a group trip. In a hotel, it can quickly become complicated to find the necessary number of rooms in the same establishment. The easiest way is either to rent mobile homes in a campsite, or a cottage or a villa whose capacity includes the number of people involved. These last three options are the best way to enjoy your stay in the same place and to benefit from the necessary equipment to make your daily life easier: fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, outdoor space to enjoy moments in group around the table or the pool, etc.
In any case, don't delay in booking. The earlier you book, the greater the chances of finding accommodation that can accommodate everyone. Note that a departure outside of the peak periods is a good way to find a quality place while saving money.
Book some activities in advance
Hosting a group in a museum, a restaurant or to do a discovery or sports activity requires foresight. So, once you have agreed on what you are going to do on site, don't hesitate to make a few phone calls to reserve in advance. This allows you to verify that the group can be accommodated on the desired dates and to avoid being turned away if you go spontaneously. This is essential to avoid disappointment... and tension!
Do the accounts in a clear and fair way
Beware, when traveling in a group, money issues can be sensitive. When you have planned to divide the expenses equally, it is important to keep all the receipts. There are even very practical applications that make it easy to keep track of your expenses with your family or friends, in a precise manner and without making mistakes!
