Compare campervan rentals all around the world
Easy to use with no booking fees.
Road Genius compares campervan and motorhome rentals across Germany, helping you pick the size and supplier that fit your trip. Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich are the main pick-up hubs and connect easily to Bavaria, the Rhine Valley or the Baltic Coast. Germany's dense network of "Stellplätze" (dedicated RV parking areas) makes spontaneous stops possible almost all year.
Campervan rental costs in Germany depend on several factors such as camper size, age, features, booking duration, season, and pick-up/drop-off locations.
Daily rates typically range from €80 to €250. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere from €80 to €150 per day for a standard campervan. Luxury or larger models usually cost more, ranging from €150 to €250 per day. However, these prices could vary depending on the specifics of your rental.
Check current rates using our search tool for the most accurate pricing. Additionally, remember to consider extra costs such as fuel, campsite fees, and any add-ons like GPS or additional drivers.
