RV rental in Berlin

Most campervans are not allowed to enter the city due to the environmental zone. However, there are good connections with public transport from campervan spots around the city. It can also be useful to rent or bring a bicycle, so you can cycle in and out of the city and enjoy the surroundings.

Although there is no speed limit on many parts of the German autobahn, it is still recommended to pay attention to the permitted speed when there is a limit. The following rules apply to motorhomes:

Is the total weight less than 3500 kg? Then you are allowed 50 km/h in urban areas and 100 km/h outside city limits. Up to 130 km/h is recommended for highways.

Is the total weight more than 3500 kg? Then limit your speed to 50 km/h inside built-up areas, 80 km/h outside built-up areas and 100 km/h on highways.

To drive an RV in Germany you will need to have a valid driver’s license and be older than 18. Some rental companies may require further documentation so always check with the provider before booking. You can stay in Germany for up to 90 days without needing to apply for a visa.

The best period to visit Germany with a motorhome is between May and September. During these months you will enjoy sunny weather, pleasant temperatures and longer days. On top of that, you won't have to worry about snow.
Of course, it's also worth going on a campervan trip during less busy periods. That way you enjoy better prices for your camping spot and activities and it's also quieter on the road. Plus, during the winter months you can visit the wonderful Christmas markets that give German cities a unique charm.

In Germany, you may spend the night in parking lots specially designated for RVs and at campsites. In normal parking lots or along the road you may park for 24 hours unless there is a prohibition sign. Unless prohibited by local authorities you may spend the night on private property if you have the owner's permission.

Generally, the minimum age for renting a campervan in Berlin is 21.

Most of the rental companies have nothing against travelling with a baby.
