In general, vintage VW campervans are not offered by the major motorhome hire providers. However, they may be available from specialised suppliers.

Generally, no. Land in the UK is usually privately owned, and it is not possible to wild camp without obtaining prior approval. Doing so without approval is a breach of the law.

As wild camping (free camping) laws can vary in the UK, it pays to check in advance to find out the rules and regulations for the area you’re planning on travelling to. In England and Wales, it is illegal without prior approval, but in Scotland, for example, the laws can be much more relaxed.

Campsites are widely available in the UK, however, and are quite affordable, starting at around £12 per night. Many national parks also allow you to camp overnight. Details can be found here.

Check with the local council or a visitor information centre if you are unsure of the regulations within a specific area.

Yes, some campervan companies in the UK are pet-friendly. These include McRent, Camper Rental UK, Just Go, Apollo, Bunk Campers, Rent Easy, Easy Campervan Hire and Rockin Vans.

You are also responsible for the safe transport of any domestic animals according to local regulations as well as for compliance with any entry restrictions and vaccinations.

Yes, many rental suppliers allow travel into Europe with your rental vehicle, and this can be a popular way to get the most out of your holiday.

To access parts of Europe, you will need to take a ferry, which must be booked in advance and is the responsibility of the renter. Booking a ferry is relatively easy, and our support team is available to help with any questions you may have.

Requirements can differ between suppliers, but you will generally need to pay additional insurance. You may also need headlamp converters and a VOH certificate for border crossings. These can usually be rented from the supplier for a small fee (around £10).

Note that while the UK and Ireland drive on the left side of the road, the majority of Europe drives on the right. Be prepared to make the change and check for any further changes in road rules that may apply.

Most popular locations are open for travel; however, some suppliers may restrict travel to certain countries, such as Russia or Ukraine. Check with your supplier to see if any extra restrictions apply.

Foreign licences are acceptable if they are in English or are accompanied by an accredited English translation. Otherwise, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.
