What campervan hire from Ambleside actually looks like

The advantage of hiring from Perth rather than a city hub, if you're coming down from Ambleside, is that you skip the ring-road traffic and you're on a proper touring road inside twenty minutes. North 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.

Insurance is fully-comp with a £750 standard excess. You can reduce that to zero on the day for a small daily fee, and I'd recommend it for first-time hirers — not because I expect anything to go wrong, but because a low-speed scrape on a single-track passing place shouldn't cost you your deposit and your good mood.

Route advice for guests based near Ambleside

A lot of our best trips are the "boring" ones — three or four nights, one or two campsites, a lot of walking, an early pub dinner. If you're coming from Ambleside, don't feel you have to earn the trip by clocking miles. The van earns its keep sitting still with a view, too.

If you're on the fence, come and see the van. Perth is a comfortable drive from Ambleside and I'd rather you looked round for twenty minutes than book blind. It's the surest way to know whether motorhome touring is really for you before you commit a deposit.
