Motorhomes, Campers, Vans,
and RV Travel in Europe

School bus camper conversion

ABOVE: A converted school bus may be a handy way to get around in North America, but in Europe, you'll want a more compact motorhome to negotiate narrow roads and minimize fuel expenses.

Practical Information

Europe by Van and Motorhome
This is the most comprehensive guidebook on European camper travel that you're likely to find. (This book has been reviewed by Europe for Visitors.)

Motorhomeholidayswap.com
The "home exchange" concept comes to the highway, with RV-swapping members in the British Isles, Continental Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand.

Rental firms

Auto Europe our partner
This U.S.-based company has been renting vehicles to North American travelers to Europe for nearly 50 years. It offers motorhomes in France, Great Britain, Germany, and Spain.

The following firms are listed without our personal endorsement, since we've never rented a camper or motorhome ourselves:

BW Campers
Start your trip in Amsterdam, where Braitman & Woudenberg will rent you a compact camper van or a larger truck that sleeps up to six passengers.

The Mobile Hotel
Det Rullende Hotel holds up to 30 passengers, making it the perfect camper for large or extended families. It's owned by a Danish company that has been operating all over Europe since 1977.

Moby Campers
This long-established Swiss firm rents half a dozen types of campers that range from VW and Mercedes van conversions to truck-style motorhomes.

Tour-Europe.de
Budget rentals are the specialty of Tour-Europe, which is based in Germany and rents VW camper vans. Inexpensive add-ons include a GPS navigation system, a power inverter for your chargers, and a USB "surf stick" for Internet access throughout the EU.

Need a car in Europe?

Auto Europe guarantees the lowest rental rates for standard cars, sports cars, SUVs, luxury cars, chauffered sedans, and RVs. Its Web site also has driving information for 38 countries.

If you live outside the EU, a tax-free Renault or Peugeot tourist lease can be cheaper than renting. Minimum driver age is 18, there' s no upper age limit, and rates include insurance. See: Short-term car leasing.


European train

Traveling by train?
Rail Europe has schedules, maps, and guides for 50+ European railroads. (Residents of North and Central America can buy tickets and rail passes online.)
