Motorhome rental Spain planning tips
- Due to the warm climate in Spain, campervan hire during winter is exceptionally common. The milder temperatures encourage thousands to hit the road and enjoy camping in Spain. Always book early, so you don’t miss out on Spain camper van rentals of your choice.
- Autovias are the main motorways in Spain. They are good quality roads that are great for long-distance drives. Country roads and village lanes can offer a more scenic route but tend to be a tight squeeze. Go slow and be prepared to pull over to allow other vehicles to pass. On narrow mountain roads, yield to drivers travelling uphill.
- Camping sites do vary in price quite wildly, so check online first. The camping sites themselves will vary, but there has been a substantial effort to improve quality and everything you need should be available at most of the paid-for facilities.
- English speaking is fairly common but it helps to know a few words during your hire campervan Spain road trip. A translator app comes in very handy.
- Free parking is rare in the bigger cities and finding space will be difficult. If you find it hard to locate a spot for your rental camper van Spain, there are many spots on the outskirts called “aires”. The Coastal Law expressly prohibits parking on the coast and beaches, and in the National Parks, it is forbidden for any vehicle to stay between 10 pm and 6 am.
- Whenever you travel in your motorhome or campervan hire in Spain, always keep your vehicle locked up and don’t pick up strangers. Consider investing in an alarm and padlock valuables if you are leaving your RV rental for longer periods, especially in remote places.
- Note that the Spanish tend to eat later. Mealtimes are generally breakfast at 9 am, lunch at 2 pm and dinner at 9 pm. Many shops close for a ‘siesta’ in the hottest hours of the afternoon and stay open late.
