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!

Cuba, with its white sandy beaches, lush landscapes, and vibrant culture, is a dream destination for adventure lovers. Renting a campervan in Cuba allows you to freely explore this fascinating island, from Havana to Varadero, while enjoying the flexibility of a tailor-made itinerary. Imagine driving along the winding roads leading to the majestic landscapes of Viñales, while discovering charming villages and local traditions. Whether you want to bask in the sun or dive into history, the campervan is an ideal way to fully experience Cuba.
Want to discover Cuba freely?
The campervan journey allows you to explore the island at your own pace, between paradise beaches, colonial cities, and tropical landscapes. Here are three emblematic itineraries, adapted to different durations, to savor the Cuban authenticity while enjoying maximum flexibility during your road trip.
Discovering Western Cuba in 7-10 days
For a first campervan road trip in Cuba, focus on the west of the island, starting from Havana. After wandering through the old town and the Vedado district, head towards Las Terrazas and Soroa, true havens of nature. Continue to Viñales, famous for its mogotes and tobacco plantations, ideal for horseback or bike rides. Finish with a few days of relaxation on the beaches of Cayo Jutías or Cayo Levisa, before returning to Havana. This compact itinerary offers an immersion in Cuban culture and its emblematic landscapes while limiting long distances.
The great loop of Cuba in 14 days
In two weeks, embark on a great loop connecting the must-see spots on the island. After Havana and Viñales, head towards the Zapata Peninsula to observe wildlife and dive at Playa Larga. Continue to Cienfuegos, the “Pearl of the South,” then Trinidad, a UNESCO-listed colonial gem. Head back up the north coast, with a beach stop on a cayo (Cayo Santa María or Cayo Coco), before reaching Remedios and returning to Havana. This balanced circuit alternates historical cities, beaches, and nature, while remaining suitable for a campervan trip thanks to varied and accessible stops.
The complete adventure of Cuba in 21 days
For a total immersion, travel across Cuba from west to east in three weeks. After the west and center (Havana, Viñales, Cienfuegos, Trinidad), continue to Camagüey, then Holguín and Gibara, authentic villages away from the crowds. Next, head to Baracoa, surrounded by mountains and wild beaches, ideal for hiking and encounters. End with Santiago de Cuba, the birthplace of Cuban music, before returning to Havana. This complete journey allows you to savor all facets of the island, from famous sites to hidden treasures, while fully enjoying the freedom that a campervan offers.

Traveling by campervan or van in Cuba: climate and seasonality
Cuba, a jewel of the Caribbean, offers an ideal tropical climate for a campervan or van road trip, with well-defined seasons that influence the weather and tourist rates.
When to go to Cuba for a campervan trip?
The best time to explore Cuba by campervan is from November to May, during the dry season. This season is characterized by pleasant weather, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 28°C, especially in Havana, where the weather is sunny and rain is rare. Nights are cool, making nights in a van comfortable. This period also corresponds to the high tourist season, particularly in Trinidad, where the landscapes are dry and bright, perfect for outdoor excursions.
Weather and seasonality of rates
From June to October, the wet season brings intense but often brief tropical rains, especially in the late afternoon, with temperatures reaching up to 33°C in Santiago de Cuba. This period is also hurricane season, particularly between August and October, which can make campervan travel riskier. However, accommodation and vehicle rental rates are generally lower, especially around Havana, offering an economic opportunity for travelers willing to adapt to the weather conditions.

Traveling by campervan or van in Cuba: practical tips
Cuba, with its varied landscapes from the colorful streets of Havana to the beaches of Varadero, offers a unique experience for campervan travelers. However, driving, parking, and safety require good preparation specific to the Cuban context.
Driving and regulations in Cuba
Driving in Cuba can be tricky, especially around Havana where road conditions and signage are often defective. It is not advisable to rent a vehicle at Havana's José Martí Airport, especially at night, due to the lack of street lighting and heavy traffic. Traffic rules are strict, with significant fines for violations, payable only at official offices or the rental agency. For example, a very dangerous violation can cost up to 1500 Cuban pesos. It is imperative to take out comprehensive insurance, as local companies do not cover certain risks such as theft of the spare wheel or accidents caused by animals on the road, which are common in rural areas like Viñales.
Sleeping and connecting in a campervan in Cuba
Dedicated camping areas are rare but do exist, especially near tourist destinations like Trinidad or Cienfuegos. It is advisable to book in advance as these spots offer essential security and amenities. In the city, prefer guarded parking lots, for example in Havana, which ensure better security for your vehicle and belongings. Access to electricity for charging is limited; you often have to rely on autonomous solutions or negotiate access to a socket in campgrounds or with locals.
Local tips and safety
Safety in Cuba is generally good, but one must remain vigilant, especially in tourist areas like Varadero where pickpocketing can occur. Caution is also advised in isolated rural areas, where assistance may be hard to find. Cubans are generally welcoming and ready to help, but it is recommended to always keep your documents and valuables secure. Finally, respect entry formalities, including the new E-Visa system mandatory since July 2025, and ensure you have travel insurance covering Cuba, essential to avoid any administrative issues.
Frequently Asked Questions in Cuba
What documents are required to rent a campervan in Cuba?
To rent a campervan in Cuba, it is essential to have a valid driver's license, often that of your home country. An international license is highly recommended to facilitate checks. You will also need to present a valid ID card or passport, as well as a credit card for the deposit. Finally, insurance covering medical expenses and repatriation is mandatory and must explicitly mention Cuba as a destination.
Can you camp wild with a campervan in Cuba?
Wild camping in Cuba is heavily regulated and generally discouraged. Most private lands require explicit permission from the owner to spend the night. Official campgrounds or dedicated areas are preferable for safety and respect for local laws. Overnight parking in nature without permission can lead to penalties.

What are the specific driving rules for campervans in Cuba?
Driving a campervan in Cuba requires caution and adaptation. Roads can be narrow and in poor condition in some regions. It is important to respect speed limits and be vigilant in rural areas. A standard driver's license is sufficient, but an international license facilitates procedures in case of checks.

Too rigid computer system
Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Very good from the quote to the rental, I recommend!
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Easy to contact intermediary. For my part, a big thank you to Marlene for her availability and responsiveness.
Excellent service, speed, and courtesy
Easy communication, in French
They have always responded quickly to all my requests and their website is very functional!
Everything was well arranged, clear information in advance, and the handover of the mobile home went smoothly.
It is convenient to book a vehicle without too many questions. However, personally, I went to Iceland, and the story surrounding the insurance was really not clear with the rental agency.
Diversity of offerings, clear presentation of the site, available options. No surprises on the price; you know what you're paying for. I recommend it and will probably use it again for other camper van trips.
Responsiveness to emails and requests is excellent.
Everything went well.
Hello, very bad experience with the rental made with Causeway Campers Ltd: the rented camper was damaged from a previous accident with many parts taped up, including the rear bumper, which came loose during the jolts in the middle of the trip that I had to reattach after notifying them with makeshift means, causing stress on the road in the second part of the trip (photo available if needed); upon...
