Setting off on an adventure in a campervan or motorhome means choosing to be guided by freedom. The freedom to change your destination to chase the sun, the freedom to turn back to that lakeside where you felt so good.

Choosing the ideal vehicle for your trip

Choosing the right vehicle is a key step for your future vacation! Want to travel light, go anywhere, and stick to the essentials? Then a campervan is the perfect companion! If you’re traveling with family and want full independence, a motorhome is the better choice.

As for the budget, count around €100/day on average for vehicle rental and comprehensive insurance.
Owners set the price—so the earlier you book, the more options you’ll have to find the best value for money.
