Questions

Can you wild camp in a campervan in Scotland?
Not as a right. Scotland's access rights cover walking, cycling, wild camping in a tent and the like, but the Scottish Outdoor Access Code says they "do not include things like shooting, fishing or access with motor vehicles". Where a landowner restricts or regulates parking, you have to respect it. Some hire firms talk loosely about parking up overnight wherever you like; the Access Code is the rule to go by, so plan on campsites or places that say overnight parking is allowed.Source: Scottish Outdoor Access Code, Scottish Outdoor Access Code
How long is the North Coast 500?
516 miles, by the route's own count, starting and ending at Inverness. Rover Rentals, Indie Campers and North 500 Motorhomes hire from Inverness; Go North Campers is in Elgin.Source: North Coast 500
How much does campervan hire in Scotland cost?
The lowest nightly prices the firms publish are roadsurfer's £50 (before fees) and Open Road Scotland's £85 for a VW campervan in winter. Most motorhomes start between £115 and £170 a night in the low season and climb from May to September. Five of the 18 firms publish no price outside their booking system, and Go Explore Scotland and Just go publish weekly prices only.
Can I take my dog in a hire campervan?
Almost every firm takes dogs. Go North Campers and Rover Rentals don't charge for them. Most others charge a cleaning fee of £30–£50 a hire or keep dogs to one or two pet-friendly vans, so book early. Scottish Tourer doesn't allow dogs.
How old do you have to be to hire a campervan in Scotland?
Usually 25, with the licence held for two years. roadsurfer, Open Road Scotland, Staycation Scotland Campers, Go North Campers, Just go, Indie Campers and North 500 Motorhomes state a lower minimum (21, or 23 at Staycation Scotland). Upper limits run from 70 to 79.
Do Scottish campervan firms limit mileage?
Most say mileage is unlimited. Watch for the conditions: Atlas and Rover Rentals give unlimited miles only on hires of six or seven days or more, Scottish Tourer's is unlimited within Scotland, and Cohen's only if you book direct.
