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

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

Motorhome hire near St Ives isn't complicated when someone honest walks you through it. Our fleet lives in Perth, but the vast majority of our guests start their trip somewhere else in Scotland or the north of England, and St Ives sits comfortably inside our regular pick-up radius.

What campervan hire from St Ives actually looks like

From St Ives you're set up beautifully — the A9 opens the Highlands to the north, and heading south through South West England you're on holiday-park country and coast within a couple of hours. We hand you a fully-fuelled, fully-stocked van and a route map that matches what you told us you actually want out of the week.

The handover is the difference between a great week and a stressful one. We walk through the tech, the plumbing, the gas isolator, the levelling ramps, and the review-mirror blind spots. If you've never driven anything wider than a Golf, we'll take you out on a quiet loop until you're comfortable — no charge, no clock.

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.

Every hire is fully-comp insured. The excess reduction is optional and worth it if you're new to a vehicle this size — Highland roads are narrow and one clipped mirror is enough to eat the excess. It's cheap peace of mind.

Route advice for guests based near St Ives

Route-wise, my honest advice for guests routing back to St Ives: 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 St Ives 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.
