Anywhere Campers GrazGrazView map
Campervan hire in Graz opens up south-eastern Austria, a region of wine-growing hills, spa towns and mountains far less crowded than the Tyrol. The capital of Styria and the country's second city, Graz is less than an hour from the South Styrian vineyards and the Slovenian border, while Riegersburg Castle, perched on a volcanic outcrop, and the gorges of the Gesäuse can be reached within the day. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, offers campervans, low-profile motorhomes and over-cab models there.
From Graz, the A9 runs north to Linz and south to Slovenia, and the A2 links Vienna to Carinthia.

1 The South Styrian wine road
- Graz
- Wildon
- Kitzeck im Sausal
- Leibnitz
- Ehrenhausen
- Gamlitz
- Leutschach
- Graz
South of Graz, the steep vineyards of South Styria, nicknamed the "Styrian Tuscany", line the Slovenian border between Ehrenhausen, Gamlitz and Leutschach. Kitzeck im Sausal, said to be one of the highest wine villages in Europe, overlooks the slopes. The ridge roads are narrow and winding: a campervan or camper van is far more at ease there than a large motorhome, especially during the grape harvest.

2 Volcanoes and spas of eastern Styria
- Graz
- Weiz
- Riegersburg
- Bad Blumau
- Bad Gleichenberg
- Straden
- Bad Radkersburg
- Graz
To the east, the Styrian volcano land alternates castles and hot springs: Riegersburg fortress on its basalt rock, the Bad Blumau spa designed by Hundertwasser, then Bad Gleichenberg and the hilltop village of Straden. Bad Radkersburg, a small fortified town on the Mur, marks the Slovenian border. The loop first passes through Weiz, gateway to the Almenland plateau and another departure city of our partners.

- Eisenerz
- Gesäuse
- Admont
- Pyhrn Pass

Heading north-west, the Mur valley leads to Leoben, then the Präbichl Pass drops down to Eisenerz and its terraced iron mountain, the Erzberg. The Gesäuse National Park then squeezes the Enns between high limestone walls, before Admont Abbey and its baroque library. The Pyhrn Pass and the Steyr valley finally lead to Steyr, another departure city of our partners, for a one-way trip.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Graz?
Best time
Late spring and autumn
May to June, September to October
highs 16 to 25 °C, lows 7 to 14 °C
The best time to leave from Graz: ten to twelve hours of sunshine a day in May and June, then the grape harvest in South Styria in September and October, when the wine taverns serve the new wine. May and September are nonetheless among the wettest months: keep a fallback day at the spas.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 25 to 26 °C, lows 15 to 16 °C
High summer is warm without excess in Graz, with mild nights, but late-afternoon thunderstorms are frequent in Styria and sometimes bring hail. It is also the school holiday period: book campsites near the spas and the Gesäuse, and head into the mountains early in the morning.
March and April
March to April
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 1 to 5 °C
Spring arrives early in the Graz basin, and the orchards of eastern Styria blossom in April along the apple road around Puch bei Weiz. Nights remain cool, frosts are possible in March and some campsites only open at Easter: check their opening dates.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 4 to 9 °C, lows -4 to 1 °C
Winter is cold and often foggy in the Graz basin, with nights below freezing from December to February. It is the season of Advent markets in the old town and of the hot baths of eastern Styria, well suited to a short stay in a heated motorhome. In the mountains, passes may be snowbound.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Vignette and A9 tunnels
Austrian motorways and expressways require a vignette for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes: check with the rental company that it is registered for your motorhome. Heading to Linz on the A9, the Gleinalm and Bosruck tunnels are subject to an additional special toll, payable at the barrier or in advance online.
Reduced speed around Graz
To limit air pollution in the Graz basin, the speed limit can be lowered to 100 km/h on sections of the A2 and A9 near the city. The variable message signs are what count, and the IG-L label indicates these environmental limits, which are enforced by speed cameras.
The centre by tram
The old town of Graz, a World Heritage Site together with Eggenberg Palace, is covered by time-limited paid parking zones, and the height of its multi-storey car parks rules out motorhomes. Leave the vehicle in a park-and-ride on the outskirts or at the campsite, then take the tram to the Hauptplatz and the Schlossberg funicular.
Nights at the winegrowers'
Wild camping is not allowed in Graz, and elsewhere in Styria the rules vary between municipalities and protected areas: check the rules in force. In South Styria, many wine estates welcome motorhomes for the night, often in exchange for dinner at the tavern or a purchase of wine.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Graz
Where can I pick up a campervan in Graz?
You start from Anywhere Campers, our partner company, which has a depot in Graz. The exact vehicle handover location and the appointment time are shown in your booking confirmation. If you are arriving by plane or train, let the rental company know your schedule so the vehicle handover can be arranged accordingly.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Graz?
The price depends first on the period, summer being the most popular season in Styria, then on the length of hire and the model chosen, from the Van for 2 to the family-sized Sunlight A70. To find out the real price, mandatory fees included, run a search with your dates: offers departing from Graz are displayed and can be booked straight away.
Which motorhome should I choose to leave from Graz?
On the narrow wine roads of South Styria, the Van for 2 suits a couple well. For a family, the Carado T-447 has four berths, the Adria Matrix M670SL and the Sunlight T 68 have five, and the over-cab Sunlight A70 has six. Apart from the Sunlight T 68, offered as an automatic, all come with a manual or automatic gearbox.
Can I do a one-way trip from Graz?
Yes: Vienna, Linz, Steyr, Salzburg, Villach and Weiz are also departure cities of our partners. Towards Villach, the A2 crosses the Pack and reaches the Carinthian lakes, such as the Wörthersee, within a few hours. Enter the return city when searching: only the offers that accept it are displayed, one-way fees included.
Can I drive to Slovenia, Croatia or Hungary?
This is one of Graz's strengths: Maribor, in Slovenia, is about an hour's drive away, Ljubljana and Zagreb a little over two hours, and Lake Balaton, in Hungary, about three hours. These three countries have their own tolls or electronic vignettes. First check the countries covered by the insurance in the offer conditions.

Everything is going online. You can clearly see how far along your applications are. The company handles changes and/or adjustments smoothly. Communication via email is easy, everything can be in your own language, and responses are quick and friendly, and solutions are found, even when KLM reported that they would no longer fly from our starting point. Everything was moved to another city. We are very positive about Cooldrive. We had a request for 3 campers for a total of 11 people.

I asked for a booking reservation for a motorhome that was available on the website and it was discounted on my debit card, and one day later I was informed that the motorhome wasn't available. It was 5 days ago and I still haven't received my refund on my card yet. 2280 EUR.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Graz
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Austria?
In Austria, as throughout the European Union, a category B licence allows you to drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers campervans and motorhomes of that weight. A driver holding a licence issued outside the Union is well advised to carry an international driving permit. The minimum age and years of driving required depend on the rental company.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Graz?
Graz has a few campsites on the outskirts, linked to the centre by public transport, which are handy for visiting the city without looking for a parking space. In eastern Styria, spa towns such as Bad Gleichenberg, Bad Radkersburg or Loipersdorf have motorhome areas or campsites close to the baths. In summer and during the harvest, book your pitch.
Are winter tyres compulsory in Styria?
From 1 November to 15 April, winter tyres are compulsory in Austria whenever the road is covered in snow or ice. Around Graz, the Präbichl, Soboth and Pyhrn passes can be snowbound early in the season. Check with the rental company that the vehicle is equipped, and carry snow chains if you are heading for the mountains.
How do I get to Graz from the airport?
Graz airport, in Feldkirchen, is about ten kilometres south of the centre: a nearby station links it to the main railway station in around a quarter of an hour, and buses and taxis complete the options. From Vienna airport, allow about two hours by road to Graz, a little longer by train.
When should I book a campervan in Graz?
With a single partner company in Graz, the number of vehicles is limited: for July and August, book several months ahead, especially as the Austrian school holidays fill up Styrian campsites. For the September and October grape harvest, a few weeks are often enough. If you want an automatic gearbox, book it early.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Graz
Graz is an excellent starting point for discovering a lesser-known Austria than the Tyrolean Alps: the steep vineyards of South Styria, the extinct volcanoes and spas of eastern Styria, then the Gesäuse mountains to the north. The city itself, with its futuristic Kunsthaus and the floating island on the Mur, deserves a day before you hit the road.
Its position at the junction of the A2 and A9 opens up both Central Europe and the Adriatic: Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary are a few hours away, while Vienna, Salzburg, Linz, Steyr and Villach, other departure cities of our partners, make one-way trips across the country possible. Anywhere Campers rents everything from vans for two to family motorhomes there, and the customer who left from Graz and wrote a review gave it 5 out of 5. From May to October, the climate is best suited to this trip.
