The Complete RV Guide to London 2026

The minimum age to rent a motorhome in London is 21. At Bandana RV, we ensure that drivers aged 21 and over face no young driver surcharges and have access to all available vehicle classes, from compact campervans to large Class A motorhomes.

Yes, one-way rentals are often possible, but availability depends on the supplier and the time of year. Picking up in London and dropping off in another major UK city like Edinburgh or Manchester can be a fantastic way to see more of the country. Check for one-way options during the booking process or contact our team for assistance.

We recommend booking your motorhome hire at least 4 to 6 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during the peak season (June through August) or during school holidays. Booking early gives you the best selection of vehicles and often secures more favorable pricing.

A standard rental price typically includes the vehicle hire, mandatory liability insurance, VAT (Value Added Tax), and a basic kitchen kit. Additional items like bedding, camping chairs, GPS, and mileage packages can usually be added for a fee. You can upgrade to a top-level deductible for extra peace of mind, but this is an optional add-on and not included by default.

No, a special licence is not required. A standard car driver's license (Category B in the UK/EU) is sufficient to rent and drive all motorhome classes available for hire, including Class A, Class B, and Class C vehicles. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended for non-English language licenses but is not mandatory.

The best time for a motorhome trip starting from London is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October). During these months, you'll enjoy pleasant weather, fewer crowds at popular destinations, and often more affordable rental and campsite prices compared to the peak summer months.
