Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Europe

Europe — a country worth exploring

Europe stretches across more than 10 million square kilometres and contains over 40 countries, each with its own language, cuisine, and driving culture — making it one of the most rewarding continents to explore by road. From the 2,000-kilometre Atlantic coastline of Portugal to the fjords of western Norway, the variety of landscapes you can reach without ever boarding a plane is remarkable. The distance from Lisbon to the North Cape in Norway is roughly 4,800 km, while a drive from Dublin to Athens covers approximately 3,400 km — both entirely achievable in a well-planned motorhome trip. Iconic landmarks such as Mont Blanc, the Colosseum in Rome, the Alhambra in Granada, and the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare are all accessible by road, and many sit within easy reach of well-equipped campsites. Europe's motorway network is extensive, yet some of the finest driving is found on quieter regional roads: Alpine passes in Austria, coastal routes along the Amalfi Peninsula, and winding lanes through the lavender fields of Provence. A campervan gives you the flexibility to linger where you like, while larger motorhomes suit families who want more living space on longer journeys. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners right across Europe, choosing from a wide range of vehicle types and picking up close to your starting point — or even shipping your plans to a different country entirely.

Best time to visit

Europe's touring season runs broadly from April to October, though each region has its own rhythm. Southern destinations like Spain and Italy are ideal from April through June and again in September, when temperatures are comfortable for both driving and sightseeing. Summer festivals such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August and Fête de la Musique across France each June give you a reason to plan around specific dates. Shoulder months — May and September — often mean quieter campsites and lower hire rates, and Yescapa's peer-to-peer model can help you find competitive pricing year-round since owners set their own rates. Book ahead for July and August if you are heading to popular coastal areas, as these months draw the most travellers.

The best road trips in Europe

To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.

The Great Alpine Road

450 km 5–8 days

This 450 km route winds through the Austrian and Bavarian Alps, linking Salzburg to Innsbruck via the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Allow 5–8 days to enjoy mountain passes, lakeside stops at Zell am See, and campervan-friendly aires along the way.

Grand Mediterranean Circuit

900 km 10–15 days

Covering 900 km over 10–15 days, this route loops from Barcelona along the French Riviera to Genoa and back through Provence. A motorhome is ideal for the longer stretches, with well-serviced campsites near Nice, Montpellier, and the Camargue wetlands.

Portugal's Atlantic Coast

400 km 5–8 days

Drive 400 km from Porto south to the Algarve over 5–8 days, passing through Nazaré's famous surf beaches and the historic university city of Coimbra. Coastal campsites welcome campervans and motorhomes, with many offering ocean-view pitches.

Scandinavian Fjord Tour

This 700 km journey through western Norway takes 7–11 days, running from Bergen to Geirangerfjord and on to Ålesund. Ferries link fjord crossings, and compact campervans handle the narrow mountain roads with ease. Wild camping is permitted under Norway's right to roam.

The Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Naples

250 km 3–6 days

A 250 km route over 3–6 days exploring Sorrento, Positano, and Pompeii along Italy's celebrated coastline. Smaller campervans are best suited to the winding cliff roads. Campsites near Salerno offer full hook-ups and easy access to the coast.

Andalusia's White Villages

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Europe

Most European countries operate toll motorways, though systems vary. France and Spain use barrier tolls where you pay at booths or via electronic tags, while Austria and Switzerland require a vignette (a pre-paid sticker). Germany's Autobahn network is toll-free for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are typically lower than for cars — commonly 90 km/h on motorways in France and 100 km/h in Germany. Height restrictions on certain tunnels and bridges can affect larger vehicles, so plan your route in advance. Rest areas with motorhome service points are widespread, particularly in France, Germany, and Scandinavia.

We had an excellent experience renting our campervan from Laura. Everything was exactly as described, the van was well equipped and reliable, and we had no issues at all throughout our trip. It was a fantastic way to explore Southern France, giving us the freedom to visit beautiful towns, beaches and countryside at our own pace. Laura was great to deal with from start to finish and made the whole process simple and stress free. Highly recommended! 😊 Oisín & Ellen (Ireland)
