The cost of renting a motorhome in the UK varies based on several factors, including the size and type of the vehicle, the time of year, and the length of your rental period. Prices generally range from around £50 per day for a small, basic motorhome to over £200 per day for a larger, more luxurious model. Many rental companies have a minimum rental period of at least three days, with longer minimums during peak season. Additional costs may include extra drivers, bedding and kitchen equipment, and insurance. At Vanlife Rentals, our prices for Matilda and Dolly start from £100 per day during off-peak periods and £120 per day for peak season, with a minimum of a three-day booking. Check our availability calendar for more details.

Most standard motorhomes can be driven with a Category B driving licence, covering vehicles up to 3,500kg. For larger motorhomes weighing between 3,500kg and 7,500kg, you will need a C1 licence entitlement. Ensure you have the correct licence before planning your trip with a larger motorhome.

Parking and sleeping in a motorhome in the UK requires awareness of local laws and regulations. Land in the UK is typically privately owned, so permission from the landowner is needed if parking outside designated caravan or motorhome parks. Wild camping in remote locations also requires landowner permission. There is no legal right to park beside the road, though the Highways Act 1980 and the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act may apply. Public car parks are regulated by Traffic Regulation Orders, which vary by location. Research and ensure you’re in a safe and legal location before settling down for the night.

Motorhomes offer the perfect way to explore the great outdoors with all the home comforts at your fingertips. Common reasons for hiring include weekend getaways in the countryside, road trips across the UK, and longer adventures through Europe. They provide complete freedom to travel in comfort and style, allowing you to experience destinations while maintaining the convenience of having your accommodation, kitchen, and facilities with you wherever you go.

The choice depends on your group size and specific needs. For smaller groups or couples, Dolly (Renault Burstner) is ideal with 4 berths and great comfort features. For larger families or groups of up to 6 people, you can choose from Annie (Adria Sun Living), Bailey (Bailey Approach SE 760), or Roxy (Rimor Europeo NG5). All 6-berth options come with fixed beds, dining areas, full kitchens, and bathrooms. Consider that the Bailey requires a C1 licence due to its size, while the others can be driven with a standard Category B licence.

Our motorhomes accommodate different group sizes: Dolly sleeps up to 4 people with 2 rear seat belts for travel. Annie, Bailey, and Roxy each sleep up to 6 people with 6 travelling seats and safety belts. All motorhomes provide comfortable sleeping arrangements with a combination of fixed beds (rear and/or above cab) and convertible dining areas that transform into additional sleeping spaces.

Our motorhomes are perfect for various trip lengths and distances. Whether you’re planning a weekend away in the countryside, a road trip across the UK, or a longer adventure through Europe, our fully-equipped motorhomes are designed for extended travel. The specific range will depend on fuel efficiency and tank capacity of each diesel-powered vehicle.
