Touring Caravan Hire Ilfracombe | From £195/Week | South West England | Caledonian Tourers

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

When someone in Ilfracombe asks me what a week in a proper motorhome actually feels like, I usually pour a coffee and tell them the truth: it's slower, quieter, and more freeing than any hotel break they've had. We've been renting campervans and motorhomes out of Perth since 2019, and a fair chunk of our repeat customers started their first trip from close to Ilfracombe.

What campervan hire from Ilfracombe actually looks like

The advantage of hiring from Perth rather than a city hub, if you're coming down from Ilfracombe, is that you skip the ring-road traffic and you're on a proper touring road inside twenty minutes. South West England rewards people who take the scenic option, and a well-fitted motorhome is exactly the way to do it.

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 Ilfracombe

Route-wise, my honest advice for guests routing back to Ilfracombe: 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. South West England's coast has plenty of week-length loops that finish you back near home without the panic.

The easiest next step from Ilfracombe is a five-minute call. I'll ask a couple of questions — dates, party size, where you fancy — and tell you which van fits and whether the dates are wide open or getting tight. No pressure, no upsell, and if we can't help I'll point you to someone honest who can.
