I get calls from Washington most weeks — sometimes a family working out whether hiring beats buying, sometimes a retired couple who've finally decided this is the year. Whatever brings you to look at campervan hire from Washington, my job is to make sure you leave with the right van and a plan you can actually enjoy.

What campervan hire from Washington actually looks like

Washington sits in a genuinely lucky spot for motorhome touring in North East England. Loch, glen or coast — most of what people come to Scotland for is inside a comfortable day's driving from where you'll collect the van, and we'll happily plot the first two nights for you before you set off.

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 Washington

If it's your first trip, I always suggest a shorter loop — Perthshire, Argyll and back — before you commit to a full Highland circuit. It gets you used to the van, and it means you're not doing a 200-mile day on the tail end of a tiring week. North East England makes a first motorhome week easy in a way that the far north-west doesn't.

Hiring from Washington 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.
