Anywhere Campers AntwerpenAntwerpenView map
Hiring a campervan in Antwerp starts your trip in the great port on the Scheldt, between the Cathedral of Our Lady, the Rubens House and the old docks of the Eilandje, dominated by the red tower of the MAS. To the north, the Kalmthout heath touches the Dutch border; to the east stretch the heathlands, abbeys and beguinages of the Campine; to the south, Lier and Mechelen are half an hour away. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, hands over campervans and motorhomes in Antwerp itself.
On the other bank of the Scheldt, Zeelandic Flanders and the Beveland islands begin less than an hour's drive away.

North of Antwerp, the cross-border park of the Kalmthout heath combines heather, inland dunes and ponds. The Trappist abbey of Westmalle comes before Hoogstraten and its beguinage, a World Heritage site. In Baarle-Hertog, the Belgian-Dutch border, marked out on the pavements, cuts the town into enclaves. Turnhout, capital of playing cards, opens up the Campine of the Mol lakes, then Geel and Herentals lead back towards the Scheldt.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Antwerp?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 23 °C, lows 9 to 13 °C
The best months to leave from Antwerp: long days, busy terraces on the Grote Markt and pleasant Campine cycle paths without the summer crowds. In September, the Kalmthout heather is still in bloom and the Zeeland campsites become quiet again.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 23 to 24 °C, lows 15 °C
Belgian and Dutch school holidays coincide: campsites in Zeeland and around the Mol lakes are often fully booked. Book your vehicle and pitches early, and favour the Campine woods or the Hageland, which are quieter. Thundery showers remain possible, even in the height of summer.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 4 to 10 °C
A changeable, cool transition season, well suited to trips focused on towns: Antwerp's museums, the beguinages of Lier and Turnhout, the carillons of Mechelen. April is often the driest month of spring; in October the rain returns, but the Campine forests take on their colours.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 7 to 10 °C, lows 2 to 5 °C
Short days, often grey skies and regular rain: winter in Antwerp suits short city breaks, with the Christmas market around the Grote Markt and the city's great museums. Many campsites close between November and March; choose a heated vehicle and stopovers open all year round.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
The Ring and the Oosterweel works
The Antwerp Ring, where the E19, E17, E313 and E34 meet, is one of the most congested roads in Belgium, and the works on the Oosterweel link will keep changing its layout for several more years. Leave the depot mid-morning and check diversions before heading for Zeeland or the Campine.
Low emission zone
Antwerp applies a camera-controlled low emission zone covering a large part of the city. Access conditions and the obligation to register certain vehicles, particularly those registered outside Belgium, may change: ask the rental company for the vehicle's Euro standard and check the rules in force before entering.
The centre on foot, the vehicle on the outskirts
Around the cathedral and the Steen, streets are narrow, often pedestrianised, and underground car parks are too low for a motorhome. Park in a park-and-ride at the end of a tram line, then head into the centre. The St. Anna pedestrian tunnel, under the Scheldt, leads to the left bank, from where you can take in the whole city skyline.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Antwerp
Where can I pick up a campervan in Antwerp?
Our partner company in Antwerp is Anywhere Campers, which hands over its campervans and motorhomes at its Antwerp depot. The exact address and appointment time are given in the booking confirmation. Allow a good hour for the vehicle handover and inspection, and let the depot know if your train or flight is delayed.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Antwerp?
The rate varies with the period, the length of stay, the size of the vehicle and the number of berths: a campervan for two in March does not cost the same as a family motorhome in August. Enter your dates in the search to compare offers departing from Antwerp, mandatory fees included and bookable immediately.
Can I do a one-way trip to Brussels, Liège or the coast?
Brussels, 41 km as the crow flies, Ostend-Bruges, Liège and Ypres are also departure cities of our partner companies. A trip without returning to Antwerp, for example to the North Sea or towards the Ardennes via Liège, depends on the company and may involve fees: enter the return city in the search to see only the possible offers, fees included.
Can I drive to the Netherlands with a campervan hired in Antwerp?
The Dutch border is about twenty minutes to the north, and Zeeland or Dutch Brabant can be reached without a long stage. Most companies allow neighbouring countries, but check the list of countries covered by the insurance in the offer conditions before planning Breda, Middelburg or a loop through Baarle and its enclaves.
What should I see in Antwerp before hitting the road?
The Cathedral of Our Lady houses several great paintings by Rubens, whose house and studio stand near the Meir. The Plantin-Moretus Museum, a former printing house on the World Heritage list, and the free panoramic rooftop of the MAS, on the Eilandje, complete the visit. The Central Station, nicknamed the railway cathedral, is worth a detour on its own.

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 Antwerp
What licence do I need to drive a campervan hired in Antwerp?
A category B licence allows you to drive vehicles of up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers campervans and the vast majority of rental motorhomes. A licence issued outside the European Union may need to be accompanied by an international driving permit. The minimum age and years of driving required are shown in the conditions of each offer.
Are motorways tolled around Antwerp?
In Belgium, motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes use the motorways free of charge and without a vignette. Under the Scheldt, the Kennedy tunnel on the Ring is free, while the Liefkenshoek tunnel, further north towards the port, is tolled. In the Netherlands, motorways are free too; only a few tunnels and ferries charge a toll.
Where can I sleep in a campervan around Antwerp?
The Campine has many campsites by lakes and in the woods, around Mol, Geel and Herentals, and Zeeland has plenty of camperplaatsen near marinas. Wild camping is prohibited in the Netherlands and, in Belgium, you need the landowner's permission: plan your overnight stops before you set off.
How do I get to Antwerp from the airport?
Brussels Airport, the best served, has direct trains to Antwerpen-Centraal station in under an hour. Antwerp Airport, in Deurne, only receives a few flights. International trains also link Antwerp with Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Paris. From the station, a taxi takes you to the handover point set by the rental company.
How many days should I plan when leaving from Antwerp?
Three days are enough for Lier, Mechelen and the Hageland, three or four for the Campine and the Baarle enclaves, and the same for Zeelandic Flanders and Beveland. In a week you can combine two of these loops; in ten days, you can add the Belgian coast or the Ardennes, finishing with a one-way trip.
When should I book a campervan in Antwerp?
Several months ahead for July and August, and for the long Ascension and Whitsun weekends, very popular in both Belgium and the Netherlands. With only one partner company on site, the most popular models go quickly. In spring and autumn, a few weeks before departure is usually enough.
About us
Why start a campervan trip from Antwerp
Antwerp combines in a single city a world port, the legacy of Rubens and a very lively fashion and design scene. Less than an hour's drive away, the landscape changes completely: heaths and Trappist abbeys of the Campine, beguinages of Hoogstraten and Lier, carillons of Mechelen, Hageland hillsides, then, across the border, the dykes, mussels and old harbours of Zeeland.
Anywhere Campers, our partner company, offers vehicles from campervans for two to family motorhomes. Brussels, 41 km as the crow flies, Ostend-Bruges, Liège and Ypres are other departure cities of our partner companies, perfect for crossing Belgium one way. From May to September, the climate is best for travelling; the rest of the year, Antwerp's museums and markets alone justify the stop.
