Send your dates and preferred area

If you are searching for caravan hire near you, the practical question is not who is biggest but who is within towing distance of your pitch. This page explains how touring caravan hire pricing works in the UK, how delivery and towing work, what licence you need, and which of our local town pages covers your area.

Where can I hire a touring caravan near me in the UK?

Caledonian Tourers lists local touring caravan hire pages for towns and cities across Scotland, England and Wales. A 2–4 berth van can be towed by you on a standard category B licence or delivered and sited on your pitch for a fee, and we will email you current prices from hire partners for your dates.

Locations are supplied by advertisers and partner operators, so email your dates and nearest town and we'll match you with a hire partner for a straight answer on what is available.

How touring caravan hire is priced near you

A weekly caravan hire rate moves with four things: berth count and caravan size, the week you want (school holidays and bank holidays are the tightest), whether the operator delivers and pitches it, and how long you are keeping it. Because our hire partners set their own rates, we check current prices for your dates rather than publishing a weekly figure we cannot confirm.

Expect a refundable deposit, a mileage-free arrangement (you tow it, so fuel is your car's problem, not a rental meter), and either a collection window at the owner's yard or a delivery fee if you want the caravan sited on your pitch before you arrive. Delivery within about 30 miles is the norm; further afield it is priced per mile.

Towed by you or delivered to your pitch

Self-tow suits anyone with a suitable car, a fitted towbar and a little experience: you get full flexibility to move between sites. Check your car's kerbweight against the caravan's MTPLM — aim for a laden caravan no heavier than about 85% of your car's kerbweight for a stable, legal outfit.

Delivered-and-sited hire suits families without a tow car or anyone new to towing. The caravan is pitched, levelled and hooked up before you arrive, and collected after you leave. It costs more but removes every towing worry, and it is the option most first-time hirers choose.

Licence, insurance and what to check before you book

If you passed your car test after 1 January 1997 you can tow a trailer or caravan up to 3,500kg MAM on a standard category B licence under current UK rules. Older licences carry higher entitlements. Always confirm the combined weight of car plus caravan against your licence and your car's towing limit.

Before you commit, confirm four things in writing: what the hire includes (gas bottle, mains cable, water carrier, motor mover, awning), whether insurance for the caravan on tow is provided or expected from your own policy, the deposit and cancellation terms, and exactly where and when handover happens.

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 does it cost to hire a touring caravan in the UK?

It depends on berth count, the week you want and whether the operator delivers and pitches the caravan, so we check current prices with our hire partners instead of publishing a weekly rate. Email your dates, berths needed and preferred area and we will reply with prices from any partner that can help.

Do I need a special licence to tow a hired caravan?

No. Under current UK rules a standard category B car licence lets you tow a caravan or trailer up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass. You still have to stay inside your car's own towing limit and keep the laden caravan to roughly 85% of your car's kerbweight for stability.

Can a hire caravan be delivered to my campsite?

Yes. Most owners will tow, site and level the caravan on your pitch for a delivery fee, usually free or low-cost within about 30 miles and priced per mile beyond that. Delivered hire is the usual choice for families without a tow car or towing experience.

How far ahead should I book caravan hire near me?

For school holidays and bank holidays, book three to six months ahead — local tourers are limited and go first. Outside those weeks, two to four weeks is usually enough, and October to April is the easiest and cheapest time to find a caravan close to home.
