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 Derry/Londonderry?

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 Derry/Londonderry?

Collection is directly from the owner — usually at their home in Derry/Londonderry. 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 Derry/Londonderry?

From Derry/Londonderry you can reach stunning destinations: Donegal ca. 1h, on the Causeway Coast ca. 1h, on the Isle of Skye ca. 3.5h, in the Lake District ca. 3.5h.

Explore Derry/Londonderry — before your adventure begins

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

The Derry/Londonderry vibe

Derry is a city that wears its complicated history openly — the murals in the Bogside, the Museum of Free Derry on Rossville Street, and the 17th-century city walls all tell different parts of the story. But there is a warmth and creative energy here that goes beyond heritage tourism. The Craft Village inside the walls is a pocket of workshops and cafes, and the annual Halloween festival has grown into one of the largest street celebrations in Europe. Walking the full circuit of the walls takes about thirty minutes and is the single thing to do if your time is short.

Local food and markets

Pyke 'N' Pommes on the Quay does a proper fish supper with a view of the Peace Bridge. The Walled City Market on the first Saturday of each month brings artisan producers together in the Guildhall Square — local honey, soda bread, and Donegal seaweed products are worth picking up for the road. For everyday provisions, the shops along Strand Road and the Foyleside Centre cover what you need, and Primrose on the Quay serves a reliable brunch.

Parks and green spaces

St Columb's Park stretches along the east bank of the Foyle with woodland trails and a peace garden that opened in 2013. The riverside walk from Craigavon Bridge to the Peace Bridge and on towards the Bay Road wetlands is a flat, easy route with good views back towards the walled city. Ness Country Park, about seven miles east along the A6, has waterfalls, old-growth woodland, and walking trails through the Roe Valley that feel far removed from the city.

What's on board?

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.

  • Kitchenette with hob, sink and fridge

  • Comfortable sleeping areas with bedding or sleeping bag option

  • Shower and WC (on many models)

  • Camping chairs, table and awning for outdoors

Little extras for an unforgettable experience

Many owners in Derry/Londonderry include extras: a coffee maker, Bluetooth speaker, camping crockery or even a bike rack. Check the listing for full details — or message the owner through the Camplify messaging system.

Travelling with pets?

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.
