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 Newport?
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 Newport?
Collection is directly from the owner — usually at their home in Newport. 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 Newport?
From Newport you can reach stunning destinations: in the Cotswolds ca. 1h, in Devon ca. 1.5h, in Pembrokeshire ca. 2h, in Snowdonia ca. 2h.
Break free from the everyday. Hiring a campervan in Newport 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 Newport 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 Newport? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — Newport has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.
Newport's story is woven into the tidal mudflats of the River Usk. The medieval Newport Ship, discovered in 2002 during construction work along the riverbank, dates to the 1450s and is still being conserved at a dedicated centre on Queensway. The Transporter Bridge — one of only a handful left in the world — has been ferrying passengers across the Usk since 1906, its distinctive silhouette a proud marker of the city's industrial port heritage. Walking along the old docklands, you get a real sense of the trade routes that once connected Newport to the wider world.
Newport Market on Upper Dock Street has been trading since the Victorian era and recently underwent a thoughtful renovation that brought in independent coffee roasters and street food traders alongside the traditional butchers and greengrocers. The Tiny Rebel Brewery on Wern Industrial Estate has become a destination in its own right, offering tastings and taproom sessions. Stock up on Welsh cakes and bara brith from the market stalls before setting off in your Camplify campervan towards the Brecon Beacons.
The riverfront walk along the Usk from the city centre down towards the wetlands reserve at Newport Wetlands offers a surprising shift from urban to wild in under a mile. The RSPB Newport Wetlands at the mouth of the estuary is a haven for wading birds, especially during autumn migration. Further upstream, the towpath along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal at Fourteen Locks is a quieter route with remarkable engineering — fourteen canal locks climbing a steep hillside. It is a fine spot to stretch your legs before collecting a motorhome from a local owner.

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.
Whether it's a weekend in the Cotswolds, a week in Cornwall or a grand tour of Scotland — your adventure starts in Newport. Browse vehicles from local owners on Camplify and find your perfect match.
