Road Genius compares campervan rentals across major suppliers and shows live prices in one place. Poland's key entry points are Warsaw, Kraków and Gdańsk, each connected to the national A-class motorway network. Distances are moderate, so a one-week trip can cover cities, Baltic coast and mountain parks if you plan fuel and toll stops in advance.
