Ireland boasts over 15 different campervans and motorhomes to choose from.
So, how do you choose which one is right for your motorhome holiday in Ireland? Here you’ll find the range of available vehicles, from cheap VW sleeper cars to large 6-berth motorhomes available for hire. Whether you're touring Ireland or taking a trip to Northern Ireland, you’ll find the right motorhome hire company for your adventure with Budget Campervans.
Before you visit Belfast or anywhere in the Irish countryside, it’s important to check out the interior layouts of each campervan. To choose the motorhome rental that suits your group the best, check out the diagrams of sleeping arrangements.
If you’re going with just your loved one or best friend, then the double bed layout may suit you best. If you’re taking the whole family on the adventure, choose a combination of a double and single beds or even bunks.
The cheapest vehicles are the sleeper cars or low-top campers. Bunk also has VW pop-top campers, which can sleep four people.
Remember: There have to be enough seat belts in each vehicle for each person travelling.

An Irish road trip combines the best of campervan life with the sheer joy of an adventurous holiday. After all, taking to the open road gives you the freedom to choose what you do and where you stay each day.
The only difficulty is choosing between the many options Ireland has to offer.
There is stunning scenery, rolling green hills, the Emerald Isle, County Kerry, Blarney Castle, and of course, the Guinness Storehouse! We also recommend you visit Lough Neagh if you have the time on your campervan hire journey.
Choose your campervan in Ireland and have a grand time!
There are many very good websites around that will help you plan your road trip. Stay as long as you can, as each day offers more new adventures and excitement. Ireland is the place to explore by road, as it’s quiet and easy to navigate. Whether it’s wild surf beaches or cool rivers that you seek, Ireland has it all.
Plan a round trip, or pick up from one depot and return to another.
For a couple or two friends on a budget, a small Roadie or low-top sleeper car camper is ideal for zooming around Ireland. These cars are small, fully equipped and will take you just about everywhere.
Park up and head off to the beach, climb a mountain or visit one of Ireland's iconic sites. Relax and go where the roadie takes you.
If you need to stand up inside, then the classic VW Camper can be rented from most of the depots in Ireland.
For the VW fan club, this camper makes dreams come true. Perfect for families or for four friends, as two can sleep in the pop-top and two below. A very efficient small kitchen is included in these popular motorhomes, making self-catering a breeze and keeping the drinks cool.
For two to four people who want a little luxury, the van conversion is ideal. It sports an onboard shower with WC and makes the perfect home for exploring Ireland.
If the batteries are charged and the gas bottle topped up, then this fully self-sufficient camper will look after you even in the wildest of places in Ireland. Get stuck into the Dingle Peninsula and County Donegal and experience the wild landscapes of real Ireland.
4-berth and 6-berth C-class motorhomes are cheap for a group of friends to rent together. These offer a combination of double and single beds as well as bunk beds. Plenty of room to move about in and easily a place to call home with an on-board shower, WC and kitchen.
Size & Type: From compact 2-berth motorhomes perfect for couples to spacious 6-berth vehicles for families or groups, choose what suits your needs.
Pick-up & Drop-off Locations: With options to collect and return in different cities, you can plan your route accordingly.
Insurance: Ensure you're covered for any eventualities. Check the terms and understand the coverage.
Amenities: Decide on what extras you might need, such as GPS, bike racks, or additional kitchen equipment.
Flexibility: With a motorhome, you're not tied down to one location. Explore the rugged coastlines, visit iconic landmarks, and camp under the stars.
Cost-Effective: Save on accommodation costs and enjoy the convenience of having everything you need with you.
Comfort: Modern motorhomes come equipped with all the amenities you'd expect, ensuring a comfortable journey.
All that is needed now is a plan. Having bike racks on the back or taking your golf clubs from the garage may result in a different journey, while having surfboards at the ready may mean that you spend the whole trip on the coast.
Ireland has castles, forests, rivers, lakes and great sites to offer the traveller a mix of pure adventure and excitement.
The Wild Atlantic Way is a must for first-time visitors, and many return again and again.
There is also some free camping in Ireland, but it is advised that you check with the local communities or the tourist information service.
Check out the Safe Nights Ireland scheme for details of buying a pass to stay for free.
Whatever you decide to do, the motorhome or campervan road trip is the best way to see Ireland. We are here to help you make the right choice of campervan or motorhome for this year's campervan holiday.
Plan Your Route: While spontaneity is part of the adventure, having a rough idea of your route can be helpful. Must-visit places include the Cliffs of Moher, Ring of Kerry, and the Giant's Causeway.
Check Campsites: Ireland offers a range of campsites. Some are basic, while others offer extensive facilities.
Drive Safely: Familiarise yourself with Ireland's driving rules, especially if you're from a country that drives on the right.
Embrace the Experience: Whether it's cooking a meal with local produce or waking up to a stunning sunrise, make the most of every moment.

We offer cheaper campervan rental rates than booking directly with these suppliers.
Yes, you can collect your campervan in one Irish city and return it elsewhere. Please note, however, that there is a minimum number of days, and it takes slightly longer to process a one-way booking request. Also, there are sometimes relocation fees added to the cost of the rental.
The insurance excess is between £1500.00 and £2000.00 in Northern Ireland and up to €2600.00 in Southern Ireland. This means that if any damage occurs to the vehicle, then you have to pay for this up to a maximum of the security deposit.
You will need to have a credit card to cover the insurance excess. Check that the credit limit on your card is more than €2600.00. €2600.00 will be deducted from your credit card when you collect the campervan. This will be refunded when you return the campervan in good and clean condition to the correct location at the agreed time.
In Ireland, the minimum age for a driver is 21 years old, and the maximum is 75 years old. We recommend that you check the terms and conditions before you book, as you have to be 25 or older to drive some of the larger motorhomes.
Check with the locals, but we’ve heard that it’s tolerated in the more remote places in Ireland. However, leave no trace. Make sure you clean up so that it’s as if you have never been there. This will help keep the friendly relationship that campervan renters have with the locals.
Yes, you can rent bicycles and a bike rack with your hire in Ireland. Please pre-order these so that the depot can get them ready for your arrival.
There are many dramatic coastlines and rolling hills in Ireland, but Belfast and Dublin are two of the most popular cities to see. We recommend that you have a basic plan, but allow time to stay a little longer in some places and divert to others. There is a host of information online. Start with Visit Ireland - official tourist website.
We also suggest taking maps and a guidebook, and not to rely totally on GPS or your mobile phone for directions, because you never know if you are going to lose signal or power. But by all means, use them to complement the map.
After 20 years arranging campervan hire and motorhome rental for our clients, we are very good.
