How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Campervan in the UK?
(Spoiler: Less than you think for the adventure of a lifetime!)

If you've ever dreamt of hitting the open road with your home on wheels, you're not alone. Whether it’s a wild weekend exploring the Lakes, a coastal cruise to Cornwall, or a festival escape, hiring a campervan is the gateway to freedom, fun, and serious Instagram envy.
But how much does it actually cost to hire a campervan in the UK? Grab a cuppa (or your map) and let’s break it down, Gatwick Campers style.
1. The Price Tag: What’s the Damage?
Campervan hire costs can vary like the British weather, but here’s a rough guide:
- Off-Peak (Nov-Mar): £70-£100 per night
- Shoulder Season (Apr-Jun, Sept-Oct): £100-£140 per night
- Peak Season (Jul-Aug): £140-£180+ per night
At Gatwick Campers, our fleet is packed with beautifully kitted-out vans ready for adventure. Plus, the price you see is the price you pay, no sneaky extras.
2. What’s Included?
With us? Pretty much everything but the playlist:
- Fully equipped kitchen (yes, you can have bacon sarnies with a view)
- Cosy bedding and towels
- Insurance & breakdown cover
- Unlimited UK miles
- Essentials like cleaning kit, gas, and a coffee pot (obviously)
Some places charge extra for these, but we believe in keeping it simple and stress-free.

3. Are There Any Extras?
If you’re after bike racks, portable loos, or festival passes, you can add these for a small fee. Think of it as customising your road trip experience, your adventure, your way.
4. Why Hire Instead of Buy?
Not sure campervan life is for you? Hiring is the perfect try-before-you-buy. If you fall in love with it (spoiler: you will), we’ll even help you own your dream van, plus, you can list it with us and earn while it’s parked!
5. Pro Tips to Save on Camper Hire
- Book early: Peak season gets snapped up quickly.
- Travel off-peak: Cheaper rates and quieter spots.
- Longer trips = better deals: We offer discounts for extended hires.
