Is a campervan holiday really as relaxing as everyone says?
In a word: yes. A campervan holiday means total freedom — no fixed hotel bookings, no rigid itineraries. Wake up by the sea, in the countryside or beside a mountain lake. With a fully equipped campervan from Camplify, you have everything you need on board: kitchen, bed, sometimes even a shower. And because you collect directly from the owner, you get personal tips and a vehicle prepared with care.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Bath?
Prices vary by season and vehicle type. On Camplify, you'll find campervans from around £60 per night and motorhomes from around £80 per night. A 12% booking fee (plus VAT) and an owner service fee (typically around £25) are added per booking. Because you're hiring from private owners, you'll often find better value than traditional hire companies.
What driving licence do I need for a campervan?
You'll need a full, valid UK driving licence held for at least 2 years. Category B covers most campervans and motorhomes up to 3,500 kg; larger motorhomes may require C1. Drivers must be aged 25–75. Camplify runs a DVLA check on every hirer before the van goes out on hire.
How does collection work?
Collection is directly from the owner — usually at their home. You'll receive the exact address before the booking, so you can plan whether to arrive by public transport, taxi or your own car. Bring your driving licence to the handover. The owner will walk you through the vehicle and complete a pre-hire checklist together.
Can I take the campervan abroad?
Camplify Flex cover extends to EU countries plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. You'll need a VE103 certificate (requested by the owner) and a motor insurance certificate. Check with the owner, arrange your own ferry or Channel Tunnel crossing and make sure the vehicle's tax and MOT are up to date.
What's included in the hire?
Every Camplify booking includes Damage Protection Cover and 24/7 RAC breakdown assistance. Most owners also include bedding, kitchen equipment and camping chairs — check the listing for full details. Fuel, tolls, campsite fees and mileage over 1,000 miles (charged at 45p per mile) are your responsibility.
Can I bring my dog?
Many owners welcome pets — look for the pet-friendly filter when searching. If it's not mentioned, simply message the owner to ask. Some may charge a small cleaning fee.
Campervan, motorhome or caravan — which is right for me?
Campervans are compact and easy to drive — perfect for couples or weekend escapes. Motorhomes offer more space with separate sleeping, cooking and sometimes shower areas — ideal for families. Caravans give you a cosy home-from-home that stays put while you explore by car.
How does booking work on Camplify?
Search for a location and dates, then send a booking request to the owner. Once approved, you pay 25 % to secure the booking — the balance is taken automatically 30 days before your trip (or immediately if you book within 30 days). Arrange collection details through the Camplify messaging system.
What happens if the campervan breaks down?
Every booking includes 24/7 RAC breakdown assistance. Call 0333 202 1872 and quote reference CAMP01 — RAC will arrange roadside recovery at no cost to you. Let the owner know too.
Can someone else drive too?
Yes — additional drivers no longer need a separate Camplify account. They must meet the insurer's eligibility requirements and bring a valid driving licence to the handover. Check the Flex insurance eligibility page for details.
How does insurance work?
Damage Protection Cover is included with every Camplify booking. The standard excess ranges from £500 to £2,000 on Flex bookings, but you can reduce it with a Silver or Gold excess package at checkout.
Where exactly do I pick up the campervan in Bath?
Collection is directly from the owner — usually at their home in Bath. You'll receive the exact address before the booking so you can plan whether to arrive by public transport, taxi or your own car.
How quickly can I reach my destination from Bath?
From Bath you can reach stunning destinations: in the Cotswolds ca. 1h, in the New Forest ca. 1h, on the Dorset Coast ca. 1h, in Cornwall ca. 3h.
Break free from the everyday. Hiring a campervan in Bath means total freedom. On Camplify, find campervans from local owners — personally handed over, flexibly booked.
A campervan is the perfect companion for couples seeking flexibility. Compact enough to navigate country lanes, yet equipped with everything you need: a bed, a kitchenette and often a pop-top roof for extra headroom. Pick up from a local owner in Bath and you're off.
Travelling with children? A motorhome gives you room to breathe. Separate sleeping areas, a proper kitchen and sometimes a shower mean you can keep everyone comfortable — even on rainy days. Many owners equip their vehicles with child-friendly extras.
Planning a longer trip or travelling with friends? Larger motorhomes offer generous living space, multiple sleeping areas and full facilities. Perfect for road trips to the Scottish Highlands, Cornwall or the Lake District.

Picking up your campervan in Bath? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — Bath has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.
Bath carries its Georgian architecture with an elegance that feels lived-in rather than museum-like. The curve of the Royal Crescent and the Circus are striking, but it is the smaller streets around Walcot and the lanes behind the Assembly Rooms where the city's independent character comes through. The Theatre Royal on Sawclose, one of the oldest working theatres in the country, and the Holburne Museum at the end of Great Pulteney Street anchor a cultural scene that balances tradition with contemporary work.
Bath's Green Park Station market, held in the old Victorian train shed, runs every Saturday with producers from across Somerset and Wiltshire selling farmhouse cheeses, cider, and seasonal vegetables. Walcot Street has a string of independent food shops, and the Bath Farmers' Market is a weekly fixture. For filling the campervan cupboards, the Fine Cheese Co on Walcot Street is worth a visit, and the Guildhall Market in the city centre has been serving Bath since the 1770s.
The Roman Baths and Bath Abbey sit at the heart of the city, the hot springs still steaming as they have for over two thousand years. Pulteney Bridge, lined with shops on both sides in the Florentine style, crosses the River Avon to Great Pulteney Street. The Jane Austen Centre on Gay Street places you in the neighbourhood she knew, and a walk along the Kennet and Avon Canal towpath from the city centre towards Bathampton gives a quieter perspective on the surrounding countryside before you set off in your motorhome.

The best thing about a campervan holiday: everything you need is right there with you. Most vehicles from private owners on Camplify are fully equipped — often with more care and attention than you'd find from a commercial hire company.

Many Camplify owners welcome dogs and other pets. Use the pet-friendly filter to find vehicles where your four-legged friend is welcome. Some owners even provide dog bowls and blankets.
Don't worry — most campervans drive just like a large car. Owners give you a thorough handover and are happy to answer questions. Start with a weekend trip to build your confidence before tackling longer routes.
