Why is it worth booking a camper in the UK early?

Vibrant towns and stunning coastlines in England, dramatic peaks and lochs in Scotland, medieval castles in Wales, and weird and wonderful rock formations in Northern Ireland are just some of the attractions to explore with an RV rental in the UK. With distances that are relatively small, a vast network of roads, and plenty of campsites, a UK road trip in a campervan is perfect for family and friend vacations as well as for romantic breaks. With a heated campervan, you can enjoy the UK whatever the season but if you're planning on visiting during the peak season of May to August, we recommend booking up to four months in advance. This ensures you get the best vehicle for your party and the most attractive price-performance ratio. If camper rent in the UK looks a little expensive, think about how much you'd spend on car hire, hotel accommodation, and dining out every day. Your booking comes with transparent cancellation conditions and no unexpected charges if you have to change your vacation dates. With comfortable berths and well-equipped kitchen areas, your camper really is a mini-hotel on wheels. If you have any questions or concerns, the experienced CamperDays customer service team is always on hand to answer them.

Useful Tips for Campervan Hire in the UK

If you want good weather and fewer crowds than during the summer, plan to rent a campervan in the UK during spring from late March to early June or in autumn from September to November. It is warmer, dryer, and, in many places, quieter.

• 

  Hiking
  Generally, spring between March and May and autumn between September and November are the best periods to hike in the UK. Many people prefer spring because the weather is mild.
• 

  Beach holiday
  Although it is likely to be busy, the best time for a beach holiday in the United Kingdom is during Summer, between June and August, as the weather is the warmest.
• 

  Sightseeing
  If you want to avoid longer queues and the bigger crowds attracted to many of the key sightseeing locations in the United Kingdom, travel between March and early June or September and November is best. This will allow you to avoid peak season while benefiting from nice weather.

Best campervan routes in the UK

North Coast 500, also known simply as NC500
One of the best routes to follow when you rent a motorhome in the UK is undoubtedly the North Coast 500. Covering just a little more than 50 miles of spectacular Scottish coastal scenery, this iconic route involves main roads following the edge of the North Highlands. You can learn more about the region's heritage and stop at pristine sandy beaches and ancient castles.

The Lake District
If you are looking for unforgettable routes when you invest in a campervan hire in the UK, they don’t get much better than the Lake District. This route takes everything from Scafell Peak, the tallest mountain in England, to many of the country's beautiful lakes, including the deepest in Wastwater. Due to its stunning natural beauty, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• Never use the middle lane or block that lane if the inside lane is clear of traffic.

• The minimum driving age is 17 years old.

• Be mindful that speed is measured in miles per hour in the UK, not kilometres per hour.

• The speed limit in the UK, unless otherwise stated, is 30mph in built-up areas (though it can be lower at 20 mph in areas where there are schools), 60 mph in single carriageways, 70 mph in dual carriageways, and 70 mph on motorways.

Places of interest and excursions in the UK

York
This ancient city has a Viking past and Roman roots. You will find York Minster within its boundaries, a building with one of the country's best examples of medieval architecture. For a step back in time to the 10th century, the Jorvik Viking Centre is a museum that will give you insight into what life was like daily then.

Snowdonia National Park
It is one of the best places to hike in the United Kingdom, offering unobstructed, undisturbed, and dramatic natural beauty. Along with hiking up Snowdonia, the biggest mountain in Wales, you can also participate in various outdoor activities, such as water sports, fishing, and cycling.

Edinburgh Castle
One of the most iconic man-made structures in Scotland, Edinburgh Castle is built on the now-extinct volcano known simply as Castle Rock. Its oldest surviving section, Saint Margaret’s Chapel, was built in the 12th century. The One o’clock Gun is fired from the castle at 1 p.m. every day and can be heard throughout the Scottish capital. The castle offers stunning views of the city.
