Touring Caravan Hire Carlisle | From £195/Week | North West England | Caledonian Tourers

Touring caravan hire in Carlisle, North West England. Site delivery or DIY tow, awnings and kit included from £195/week. Free tow-car matching.

There's a reason we get so many bookings from the Carlisle area. Motorhome hire only works when the handover is unhurried, the vehicle is properly kitted, and the person renting it to you actually cares whether your trip goes well. That's the standard we've held since 2019, and it's why our reviews sit at a genuine 5.0 across 62 verified guests.

What campervan hire from Carlisle actually looks like

Guests from Carlisle usually plan a loop rather than a straight line, and we'll help you build one. Whether it's the North Coast 500, a west-coast whisky run, or a slower drift through North West England, the geography's on your side. Bring the postcode of where you're staying and we'll factor the transfer into your handover time.

Because most of our customers are on their first motorhome trip, we treat the handover as a proper lesson, not a signature exercise. I've done it thousands of times; I know the four things people always forget, and we'll cover them twice.

2026 pricing (what it costs, what's included)

We publish real prices. £495 low season, £795 mid, £1,295 peak — one number covers the van, the kit, the insurance, the mileage and the handover. If someone quotes you dramatically less, ask them what's not included; it's usually bedding, gas, insurance excess reduction, and the extra hour on handover, and those four line items add up fast.

You're covered on our fully-comp policy from the second you drive off the yard. Ask about excess-reduction if you want the excess brought down; it's an add-on rather than a hidden compulsory fee.

Route advice for guests based near Carlisle

Route-wise, my honest advice for guests routing back to Carlisle: don't try to do the full NC500 in five days. It's a wonderful road but it punishes tight itineraries. Take a week, add two days, or shorten it — the Highlands are better savoured than sprinted. North West England's coast has plenty of week-length loops that finish you back near home without the panic.

Hiring from Carlisle works. Hundreds of families and couples have done it since we opened, and the vast majority book again. Get in touch when you're ready — the earlier in the season, the more flexibility you'll have on van choice.
