Motorhomes, Campers, Vans,
and RV Travel in Europe
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.

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.
