If you're looking to relax, Cornwall's many beaches and gardens are the perfect place to soak up the sun.

And of course, no visit to Cornwall would be complete without trying some of the region's famous seafood.

When to visit with your van hire in Cornwall sorted

Cornwall is a stunning county in the south-west of England, and there is no wrong time to visit with your motorhome, campervan or static caravan hire. However, there are some times of the year that are better than others. 

The summer months tend to be the busiest, as people flock to Cornwall to enjoy the sun and sea. This can make Cornwall a little crowded, so if you are looking for a more relaxing holiday, you may want to consider visiting Cornwall in spring or autumn. 

These low seasons offer milder weather and fewer crowds, making them ideal for relaxing on Cornwall's beaches or enjoying its many tourist attractions, such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project, Flambards Theme Park and Newquay Zoo.

Campervans to rent in Cornwall: Frequently Asked Questions 

These are some of the questions most frequently asked by our customers. If you don't find the answer you are looking for or need more information, please have a look at our help section.

How to hire a campervan, motorhome or caravan in Cornwall?

Once you have chosen a van, select your dates and send a booking request to the owner and discuss your trip. Once the owner approves your booking you can make a secure payment via our platform.

When the first day of the booking arrives you'll meet with the owner to pick-up the van (some owners will also drop-off to your holiday location).  They'll guide you through using the van and submit a pre-condition report to our platform.  On return, they submit a post-hire condition report as part of the handover.

How much does it cost to rent a van in Cornwall?

Prices for motorhomes and campervans in Cornwall range from approximately £40 to £200 per day. Prices are set by the owner, but generally vary depending on how far in advance you book, the time of year, the type of van you choose and its features (beds, kitchen, amenities, etc.). 

What’s included in the van rental?

All the vans on our site are comprehensively insured and we also have 24/7 roadside assistance.

Some owners will provide linen as part of the booking, others will charge an extra fee. And some owners will not provide linen at all. Check the details on the van you're interested in.

How old do I have to be to hire a van in Cornwall?

Licensed drivers must be between 25 and 70 years of age and hold a full and valid licence that is not subject to any restrictions or conditions. Probationary licence holders and learner drivers are not accepted.
