It’s the first and last time we’ll ever hire a motorhome; MC Rent are the worst. They made us pay a deposit of £1,500, and when we returned the motorhome, the lady who dealt with us went to extreme lengths to find any excuse to keep our deposit. and she succeeded. A small dent we got in a car park was what led them to deduct €650 (at the exchange rate) – a rip-off. She also tried to charge us £110 for not emptying the clean water tank – which was simply a matter of turning the tap on – and another £110 for the waste water. It’s a disgrace. They’re the worst. Never again.

We were a bit worried before we arrived as there were no specific instructions on how to collect the motorhome. We had to figure out how to get there by bus or train, but as it was a country we weren’t familiar with, we found it quite a challenge – especially as it turned out to be very simple: you just need to take the 900 bus in Edinburgh towards Glasgow and get off at the Harthill Services stop. It was barely a 10-minute walk. The difficulty lay in finding somewhere to empty the waste tank and fill up with water on the way back, as there’s nothing available near MC RENT. We were able to stay at a campsite in Glasgow for the last night and everything was fine. The staff on site were very friendly and welcoming during check-in, and the motorhome was spotlessly clean, brand new and VERY COMFORTABLE. A wonderful experience!

Great holiday experience with their camper van! Service on delivery of camper very well and flexibly organised, as we needed support far outside regular working hours. Thank you, Mandy in Harthill!

I rented the motorhome through Camper Days, everything was fine. But the company they rented it from was McRent Edinburgh. The motorhome was new from 2025, it was very good, but it had a problem, the fridge didn't cool down when it was used with gas, which was a problem because it only really cooled down when we were in a campsite, which in 14 days we only did about 5 times... The girl from McRent to whom we reported the problem was unable to give us a solution during all the days of the trip, and when we delivered the vehicle **** two weeks later, and when we reminded her of the issue, she didn't show the slightest interest in the matter... A pity because otherwise the motorhome worked very well. Another negative point about McRent is that it is in the middle of nowhere, between Edinburgh and Glasgow.... You have to take a taxi or train and bus (1hour 30 min...).

The camper van was relatively new and in good condition. However, the cleanliness was poor. The cutlery was dirty and looked mouldy in places. The information at the pick-up was very minimalist. The young employee was not very knowledgeable and we even had to show her how to open and close the various compartments and flaps. We then had to find out a lot of things ourselves during the journey.

If you plan on hiking or participating in other outdoor activities when you rent a motorhome in Edinburgh, May and September at either end of summer are great times for moderate weather or fewer crowds.

Best campervan routes around Edinburgh

Edinburgh to St Andrew's
Following the Queensferry Crossing through to Fife is a great driving route to consider when you book a motorhome for hire in Edinburgh. This only opened in 2017, but it also houses the astonishing Forth Bridge and Forth Road Bridge, which, together with the Queensferry Crossing, have a combined history of around three centuries. As you follow the journey, you can continue around East Neuk along the coast and stop at some of the pretty little fishing villages before getting to St Andrew's.

Edinburgh along the North Coast 500
One of the most iconic routes in Scotland is the North Coast 500. This is a circular road that starts and ends in Inverness. Scottish Highlands’ most prominent city is Inverness, and getting there involves a scenic 150-mile drive from Edinburgh, which takes 3 hours. You can take the journey to locations like Dunnet Head, Durness, Ullapool, and Applecross.

Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye is a breathtaking destination that many tourists and locals visit annually. Known for its geographical location and fantastic countryside, it takes around 227 miles to get to the Isle of Skye from Edinburgh. Along the way, you will have plenty of places to stop at, including Loch Lomond, Oban, Glen Coe, Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and then Eilean Donan Castle to finally arrive at the Isle of Skye.

Edinburgh to Jedburgh to Lauder
It’s amazing to note that if you book a motorhome rental in Edinburgh, you can be in the most southern spot in Scotland, the Scottish Borders. The drive is an extremely scenic one, going to Jedburgh and then heading through to Lauder. It takes just one hour, and when you reach Jedburgh, you can stop at Augustinian Abbey, which has stood there since the 12th century.
