Send your dates and preferred area

Searching for campervan hire near you usually means one of two things: you want to collect a van close to home, or you want to fly or train into an area and pick one up there. Both work, and this page covers what a week really costs, what is included, what to check at handover and which local page covers your town.

How do I find campervan hire near me in the UK?

Start with the town you can realistically reach, then compare what is included rather than the headline price. Caledonian Tourers is based in Perth and matches your dates with independent hire operators across the UK — the operator confirms the vehicle, price, insurance, mileage and collection arrangements before you book.

Locations are advertiser-supplied, so email your dates and area and we'll match you with a hire partner for a straight answer on availability near you.

What campervan hire costs and what is included

A week's campervan hire in the UK typically costs between £495 and £1,295 depending on the vehicle, the season and the operator. The better operators include 1,000 free miles a week, comprehensive insurance for two named drivers, 24/7 breakdown cover, gas, bedding and kitchen kit, and a full in-person handover rather than a key drop — confirm exactly what your operator includes before you pay a deposit.

Compare like for like when you price other operators near you: mileage caps, insurance excess, second-driver fees, cleaning charges and out-of-hours collection are where the real cost hides. A £395 headline with a 100-mile daily cap is dearer than £495 with 1,000 free miles for anyone touring the Highlands.

Collecting locally versus travelling to the van

Collecting near home suits shorter trips and first-timers: you load at your own door, and you are not paying for a hire day spent getting to the vehicle. It also means driving an unfamiliar van on roads you know, which is the easiest way to build confidence.

Travelling to the van makes sense when the touring is the point. Perth, for example, is 75 minutes from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee and puts you inside the Highlands on day one — a far better use of a week than driving north from the Midlands.

What to check before you book locally

Ask for the vehicle's berth and seatbelt count (they are not always the same number), the licence category needed, the insurance excess and how it can be reduced, the mileage allowance, and whether pets are allowed. Confirm the handover time — losing a morning to a late handover costs a full touring day.

For overnight stops, remember Scotland's access rights cover wild camping on foot, not parking a motor vehicle wherever you like. Use campsites, aires or Brit Stops sites; our free overnight parking guide lists year-round options.

Availability near you, honestly

Being straight with you on availability: every town and city listed on this site is covered by advertisers and partner operators, so we cannot promise a vehicle in a specific postcode on a specific week — but send us your dates and we'll match you with a hire partner.

We sign up new owners and operators daily, so the quickest route is to email your dates and your nearest town and we will match you with a hire partner and tell you plainly what is available near you.

Frequently asked questions

How much is campervan hire near me per week?

UK campervan hire typically runs from £495 to £1,295 per week depending on the vehicle and season. Look for 1,000 free miles, insurance for two drivers, 24/7 breakdown cover, gas, bedding and kitchen kit in the price — and compare mileage caps and excess between operators, not just the headline weekly rate.

What licence do I need to hire a campervan?

A standard UK category B car licence covers campervans up to 3,500kg, which is almost every 2–4 berth van and most compact motorhomes. Heavier coachbuilt motorhomes over 3,500kg need C1 entitlement, which older licences often already carry.

Is there a minimum driver age for campervan hire?

Most UK operators, including Caledonian Tourers, insure drivers aged 25 to 75 with at least two years' licence held and no more than a few minor endorsements. Outside that range, ask before booking — some operators will insure younger drivers with a higher excess.

Can I hire a campervan close to home rather than travelling to one?

Often yes. We list local campervan hire pages for towns and cities across the UK so you can see what is covered near you. Send us your dates and we pass your enquiry to a vetted hire company near you.
