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

What touring caravan hire costs near you

Across the UK, a 2–4 berth touring caravan typically hires for £165–£225 a week, with larger 6-berth family tourers and twin-axle vans at the upper end. Weekends and short breaks are usually charged at roughly half the weekly rate, and school holidays and bank holidays carry the highest demand rather than the highest price.

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

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical UK touring caravan hire is £165–£225 per week for a 2–4 berth, with 6-berth and twin-axle tourers at the top of that range. Weekends are usually around half the weekly rate, plus a refundable deposit and an optional delivery fee if you want the caravan sited for you.

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.
