The concept

Why a motorhome holiday is unlike anything else

Somewhere between a hotel and a road trip lies something better than both. A motorhome holiday moves at your pace, sleeps exactly where you park it, and carries everything you need without the daily ritual of packing and unpacking. The campsite you woke up next to this morning might be a pine forest. Tomorrow it might be a vineyard terrace above the Moselle. The week after, a bay on the Adriatic. The decision is yours, made every morning over coffee at your own folding table.

What has changed in recent years is not the appeal of this kind of travel — that has always been there — but the ease of making it happen. Comparison platforms, trusted rental partners across every continent, and a global network of well-maintained campsites have removed the complexity that once made motorhome holidays feel daunting. Today, booking a campervan in New Zealand from your kitchen in London, or collecting a motorhome at Frankfurt Hahn Airport an hour after landing, is as straightforward as booking a hotel room.

“Renting a motorhome means freedom and adventure, pure and simple — and that flexibility begins the moment you book.”

mobilcamper.de brings this together in three complementary layers: local motorhome hire directly from Frankfurt Hahn Airport for those starting their journey in western Germany; worldwide comparison and booking via Camperdays, the leading European price-comparison platform for motorhome rental; and camping equipment from camping-4-you to ensure you’re properly prepared for wherever the road leads. The site runs in four languages — ensuring travellers from across Europe and beyond can use it with ease.

The local starting point

Motorhome hire from Frankfurt Hahn Airport — fly in and drive away

Frankfurt Hahn Airport (HHN) sits in the Hunsrück plateau of Rhineland-Palatinate, roughly 100 km west of Frankfurt — and for anyone wanting to explore western Germany, the Moselle, the Rhine Valley, the Eifel or Luxembourg, it is a better starting point than Frankfurt Main Airport by a considerable margin. Whereas Frankfurt FRA deposits you in the middle of a major conurbation requiring 60 minutes of urban driving before you reach open country, Hahn is already there. Within ten minutes of collecting a motorhome, you can be winding through the forests and hilltop villages of the Hunsrück.

The airport is served by Ryanair, Wizz Air and others, with direct routes from London Stansted, Dublin, Kerry, Edinburgh and Manchester among the key UK and Irish connections. For travellers from these markets, Hahn offers something unusual: a genuinely convenient German airport that delivers you directly into one of the country’s most rewarding and least overcrowded travel regions.

Collecting your motorhome at Frankfurt Hahn — what to know

  • Location: Frankfurt Hahn Airport (HHN) — Lautzenhausen, Hunsrück, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
  • Collection: Terminal shuttle to the hire station — no taxi or additional car needed on arrival
  • Vehicles available: Compact campervans, semi-integrated and fully integrated motorhomes, overcab models; 2 to 6 berths
  • Full equipment: Bedding, kitchen equipment, camping furniture, gas grill, baby/child seats and additional extras bookable in advance
  • Car storage: Leave your own vehicle safely on site during your trip
  • Return: Vehicle returned to the airport ahead of your departure flight — no transfer stress
  • Driving licence: Standard car licence (Category B) is sufficient for most vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes
  • GHIC / health card: UK visitors — your Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) provides access to state healthcare in Germany and most EU countries. Always carry it.

mobilcamper.de’s Hahn offering is designed equally for international visitors flying into Germany to begin a European road trip, and for local travellers from Rhineland-Palatinate, the Saarland, Luxembourg and the surrounding regions who want to start their motorhome adventure close to home.

Getting to Hahn

Flying into Hahn — routes from the UK, Ireland & Europe

Frankfurt Hahn Airport handles around 420 flights per month to 46 destinations worldwide, with Ryanair operating the majority of routes. For UK and Irish travellers, the key connections make Hahn a viable entry point for a German motorhome holiday without the complexity of using a major hub airport.

Key routes to Frankfurt Hahn (HHN)

  • London Stansted (STN) → HHN:Ryanair direct — approximately 1h 50m flight time
  • Dublin (DUB) → HHN:Ryanair direct — approximately 2h 10m
  • Kerry (KIR) → HHN:Ryanair direct (seasonal)
  • Edinburgh (EDI) → HHN:Ryanair (check seasonal availability)
  • Manchester (MAN) → HHN:Ryanair (check seasonal availability)
  • Further Ryanair and Wizz Air routes connect Hahn to cities across Italy, Spain, Portugal, Eastern Europe and North Africa — making it a useful transit point for mixed Europe itineraries
  • Nearest alternative airports: Saarbrücken (SCN) and Luxembourg City (LUX), both within 60 km
Practical note for UK travellersSince Brexit, UK passport holders enter Germany on a visitor basis with no visa required for stays up to 90 days. A GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) replaces the old EHIC for healthcare access in EU member states — apply free via the NHS website before departure. International driving permit not required in Germany or most EU countries for UK licence holders, though it is recommended for some non-EU destinations.
Western Germany’s finest landscapes

The region — Moselle, Hunsrück, Rhine & beyond

The landscape around Frankfurt Hahn is among the most rewarding in Germany for motorhome travel. The Hunsrück is a gentle upland plateau covered in mixed woodland, where ancient walking routes connect hilltop villages and the views extend for miles in every direction. The Moselle River — one of Germany’s great wine rivers — curves along the plateau’s southern edge, its steep-sided valley lined with some of the country’s most beautiful campsite locations. And the broader region touches Luxembourg, Belgium and the Eifel National Park, giving a Hahn-based motorhome itinerary enormous variety within a very manageable driving radius.

Moselle Valley

The Moselle is about 20 to 30 kilometres from Hahn and is the natural first destination for most visitors. From Trier downstream to Koblenz, where the river joins the Rhine, the road winds through vineyard terraces, medieval wine villages and riverside campsites. Cochem, Bernkastel-Kues, Traben-Trarbach and Beilstein are among the most beautiful small towns in all of Germany. Dozens of campsites sit directly on the riverbank, some within walking distance of wine tasting rooms. The Moselle by motorhome, with time to stop wherever catches the eye, is a near-perfect introduction to slow travel in Germany.

Hunsrück & the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park

Germany’s newest national park — established in 2015 — covers around 10,000 hectares of wild upland forest and is excellent for walking, cycling and overnight camping. The Hunsrück-Höhenweg (ridge route) is one of the best long-distance trails in western Germany. Campsites on the Hunsrück tend to be quiet, well maintained and relatively inexpensive. For those who want nature over crowds, it is an ideal base.

Trier, Luxembourg & the Eifel

Trier — Germany’s oldest city, with the Porta Nigra, Imperial Baths and an extraordinarily complete Roman legacy — is less than an hour from Hahn. Luxembourg City is similarly close, making it easy to cross a border without ever feeling like a complicated international journey. The Eifel, to the north, adds volcanic lakes, the Nürburgring racing circuit and the Eifel National Park to the itinerary. The Rhine towns of Boppard, Bacharach and the Loreley stretch east. No other region of Germany packs this much variety into such a compact driving area.

Recommended campsites & motorhome stops from Hahn

  • Moselle: Camping Moselschleife (Bremm), Knaus Campingpark Burgen, Camping Cochem — all directly on the Moselle, all with electrical hook-up
  • Hunsrück: National Park campsite near Kirchenbollenbach; forest stellplätze along the Hunsrück ridge trail
  • Eifel: Camping Prümtal Oberweis; stellplätze at the volcanic maar lakes
  • Rhine: Motorhome stops in Boppard, Bacharach, St. Goarshausen
  • Idar-Oberstein: Gemstone city with a remarkable cliff church — an excellent overnight stop, and officially motorhome-friendly

The home continent

Europe by motorhome — endless routes, one platform

Europe has the most developed motorhome infrastructure on the planet: a dense network of campsites, widespread legal wild camping in Scandinavia and Scotland, and every conceivable landscape within a manageable driving distance. Via Camperdays on mobilcamper.de, all of the following are bookable in minutes.

British Isles

Scotland & England

Scotland is one of the fastest-growing motorhome destinations in Europe. The Highland roads, Loch Ness, Glencoe, the NC500 coastal route and the Inner Hebrides are all accessible with a standard campervan. Wild camping is legal almost everywhere under the Land Reform Act. McRent operates stations in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London.

Atlantic Coast

Portugal & Spain

Portugal’s Algarve, the Silver Coast and the dramatic SW corner of Europe are enormously popular with UK and Irish motorhomers — the climate, the low costs and the stunning coastline make them almost impossible to resist. Spain’s Andalusia, the Cantabrian coast and the Pyrenees Foothills complete a pair of destinations that work beautifully year-round, including as winter escapes from northern Europe.

Nordic

Norway & Sweden

Norway’s fjords are a bucket-list route for many motorhome travellers — Geirangerfjord, the Lofoten Islands, the North Cape and the Midnight Sun. Free camping (Allemannsretten, the right to roam) is enshrined in law, meaning many of the best overnight spots cost nothing. Available May to September; some routes can be physically demanding in larger vehicles.

Volcanic

Iceland

The Ring Road around Iceland — glaciers, geysers, volcanic plains, the Northern Lights — is one of the great motorhome journeys anywhere on earth. Campsites are compulsory (free camping is strictly prohibited to protect the fragile landscape); the infrastructure is well developed and the scenery is consistently extraordinary. Best May to September.

Mediterranean

Italy, France & Croatia

McRent’s European network puts you into Italy (Rome, Milan, Florence, Sardinia, Venice), France (Paris, Nice, Lyon) and Germany in the same booking. The Italian coast, Tuscany, Provence, the Amalfi Peninsula and Croatia’s Dalmatian coastline are all classic routes for first-time European motorhomers.

Northern Europe

Germany & the Rhine-Moselle

Starting from Frankfurt Hahn, the Moselle, Rhine, Black Forest and Bavaria are all within comfortable day-driving distance. Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Cologne are full McRent cities — ideal bases for exploring regions that the rest of Europe still underestimates. Germany’s campsite infrastructure is among the best in the world.

The bucket-list trips

Worldwide — New Zealand, Canada, Australia, USA & beyond

For many people, a motorhome or campervan trip on another continent is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — the kind of journey that reshapes the way you think about travel. Camperdays on mobilcamper.de makes booking these big adventures as simple as a weekend trip to France.

Australasia

New Zealand

New Zealand is frequently cited as the world’s finest motorhome destination — and the description is hard to argue with. Two islands, 3,000 km in length, outstanding national park campsite infrastructure (Freedom Camping in many areas), and an extraordinary range of landscapes: Fiordland and Milford Sound, the volcanoes of Tongariro, the Abel Tasman coast, the Queenstown region. Apollo, Maui, Jucy and Britz operate extensive fleets from Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown. Best December to April for the South Island, October to April overall.

North America

Canada

The Rocky Mountains — Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks — the Icefields Parkway, Vancouver Island and the Pacific Coast Highway. Canada is the definitive North American motorhome destination and Fraserway (operating for over 40 years) is the trusted partner across Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax. Minimum hiring age 21. International driving permit recommended.

Australasia

Australia

The Great Ocean Road in Victoria, the Red Centre and Uluru, Queensland’s Tropical North and the Cairns to Cape Tribulation rainforest drive, the wild west coast — Australia’s scale means every region could be a separate trip. Apollo, Maui and Jucy operate large fleets from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Cairns. Some of the most dramatic routes in the world require a capable vehicle; all are available via Camperdays.

North America

USA

The American road trip: Los Angeles to San Francisco via Route 1, the National Parks of the Southwest (Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, Arches, Monument Valley), Yellowstone and the Rockies, or Florida and the Southeast. Cruise America is the leading US RV hire partner — with the largest domestic fleet available via Camperdays. Minimum hiring age 21; enhanced liability insurance strongly recommended.

Southern Africa

Namibia & South Africa

For travellers who want their motorhome to double as a safari vehicle: Namibia’s desert highways, the Etosha National Park, the Skeleton Coast, and South Africa’s Garden Route and Kruger region. 4×4 overland campers are standard here; self-sufficiency in remote areas is non-negotiable. Minimum hiring age 21.

Central & South America

Costa Rica & Chile

Costa Rica’s compact biodiversity and Chile’s epic Patagonian stretches — the Carretera Austral — round out Camperdays’ global programme. Both suit experienced travellers looking for something beyond the mainstream motorhome circuit.

Choosing your vehicle

The right vehicle — from campervan to expedition motorhome

The single most important decision in any motorhome trip is choosing the right vehicle. Too small and the holiday becomes uncomfortable; too large and you miss campsites and roads you wanted to use. The Camperdays inventory via mobilcamper.de covers every category, from budget-friendly campervans to full expedition rigs.

Couples · city routes

Campervan / Van conversion

Converted vans (VW California style or larger) are manoeuvrable in cities, cheap to fuel and park, and perfectly comfortable for two. Widely available across Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Budget-friendly entry point for first-timers.

Couples · small families

Semi-integrated motorhome

The classic hire motorhome: a fixed bed (often at the rear), separate kitchen and bathroom, and a habitable living space. The workhorse of motorhome hire worldwide. Comfortable for two, manageable for four on shorter trips.

Comfort seekers · families

Fully integrated motorhome

Maximum living comfort: a wide rear bedroom, a generous kitchen and bathroom, and a lounge area that genuinely feels like a small apartment. The upgrade choice for those who want hotel-standard living on the road.

Families up to 6

Overcab / C-Class motorhome

An additional double bunk over the cab creates sleeping for up to six people. In North America and Australasia these are known as C-Class motorhomes and are the standard family hire vehicle. Widely available via Fraserway, Apollo and Maui.

Adventure · Africa · Iceland

4×4 overland camper

Off-road capable vehicles with pop-top or roof tent, essential for Namibia and Botswana, and very useful in Iceland’s highland interior. Higher daily rates and fuel costs, but access to destinations nothing else can reach.

Budget · young travellers

Budget campervan (18+)

In New Zealand (Jucy, Spacechips, Travellers Autobarn) and Australia, budget campervans are available from 18 years old and from around €18/night. Ideal for flexible backpacker-style travel with more space and independence than a hostel.

Tip for long-haul hirersTravelling to New Zealand, Australia or Canada? Some gear is cheaper to buy at home and bring with you than to purchase locally. A quality sleeping bag rated to +5°C (essential for New Zealand’s South Island nights), a reliable head torch, and a compact first aid kit are all worth including in your checked luggage. Browse camping-4-you on mobilcamper.de before you fly — it’s easier than airport shopping.
Before you hire

Essential tips — for first-timers and regulars alike

10 things to know before booking a motorhome

  • Book early: Summer in Europe (July/August), and December to April in New Zealand and Australia, fill months ahead. Early booking also secures the best vehicle choices and prices.
  • Check your driving licence: Category B (standard car licence) is sufficient for most hire vehicles in Europe. For larger North American RVs, check with the hire company. International driving permits are recommended for some non-EU destinations.
  • Minimum age abroad: The USA, Canada and many countries outside Europe set a minimum hiring age of 21. Some budget providers in Australasia hire from 18.
  • Bring a credit card: Every hire company worldwide requires a full credit card (not a debit card) in the main driver’s name at collection — for the security deposit. Prepare this in advance.
  • Consider the self-excess insurance: The ERGO excess waiver available via Camperdays can cover the potentially significant self-excess in case of an at-fault accident. Particularly recommended for long trips and less experienced drivers.
  • Mileage limits: Some hirers include unlimited kilometres; others charge per km above a daily limit. Check this carefully when comparing prices — it matters enormously on a trans-Canada or Australian Outback trip.
  • Pre-book campsites on popular routes: Scotland’s NC500, Norway’s southern fjords, New Zealand’s South Island circuit — all fill up in season. Book a week ahead at minimum for anything in July or August.
  • Use campsite apps: park4night, iOverlander, PiNCAMP and the Caravan Club apps are essential tools for finding stops on the road. Download them before departure.
  • Left-hand traffic: UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and some other destinations drive on the left. Take your first hour slowly. Ask the hire company for specific guidance at handover.
  • Travel insurance: Comprehensive travel insurance — including trip cancellation, medical repatriation and vehicle excess cover — should be purchased before, not after, booking.
