Frequently asked questions

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 Nottingham?

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 Nottingham?

Collection is directly from the owner — usually at their home in Nottingham. 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 Nottingham?

From Nottingham you can reach stunning destinations: in the Peak District ca. 1h, in the Cotswolds ca. 2h, in the Yorkshire Dales ca. 2h, in the Lake District ca. 3h.

Explore Nottingham — before your adventure begins

Picking up your campervan in Nottingham? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — Nottingham has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.

The Nottingham vibe

Nottingham sits on a sandstone ridge riddled with caves, and this underground history gives the city a character unlike anywhere else in England. The Lace Market, the old centre of the textile trade, has reinvented itself with independent galleries, bars along Broadway and Stoney Street, and the Nottingham Contemporary gallery in a striking angular building on Weekday Cross. Hockley, the creative quarter radiating from Goose Gate and Carlton Street, is filled with vintage shops, tattoo parlours, and coffee roasters. The Broadway Cinema and Cafe Bar on Broad Street has been central to the city's cultural life since 1989, and the city's network of real ale pubs, anchored by Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem carved into the castle rock, runs deep. There is a gritty authenticity here that makes Nottingham worth exploring before setting off in a campervan.

Local food and markets

Victoria Market in the Victoria Centre serves the city with fresh produce, butchers, and fishmongers at prices that keep locals coming back. The Sneinton Market creative quarter, in the old market buildings east of the centre, now hosts artisan food producers alongside craft workshops. Delilah Fine Foods on Victoria Street is a proper deli with local cheeses, charcuterie, and an impressive cheese counter that makes it worth a detour. For stocking the campervan, the farm shops dotted around the Nottinghamshire countryside are within easy reach, and Colwick Park's Saturday morning market brings together small-scale producers. Nottingham's brewing heritage runs deep, and picking up bottles from local breweries like Castle Rock is a fine way to provision for evenings parked up.

Parks and green spaces

The Arboretum, laid out in 1852 and Nottingham's oldest public park, climbs the hill north of the centre with mature trees and a bandstand. Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, an Elizabethan mansion set in 500 acres of parkland, is home to herds of red and fallow deer and feels like countryside within the city boundary. Colwick Country Park follows the River Trent with lakes and wetland that attract serious birdwatchers. Sherwood Forest, the remnant of the ancient royal hunting ground, lies just to the north, and the Major Oak can be visited as a stop on the way out of the city. A walk around Wollaton Park in the early morning is a quiet way to begin a motorhome trip into the East Midlands countryside.
