Anywhere Campers OdenseOdenseView map
Campervan hire in Odense puts your starting point in the centre of Denmark, on the island of Funen, between Jutland to the west and Zealand to the east. Hans Christian Andersen's home town opens onto a landscape of orchards, manor houses and small harbours, then onto the South Funen Archipelago: Tåsinge and Langeland are reached by bridge, Ærø by ferry. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, has a depot here and offers everything from vans for two to six-berth motorhomes.
Here, stages are counted in tens of kilometres: one week is enough to tour the island and its neighbours.

- Faaborg
- Svendborg
- Ærøskøbing
- Marstal
- Svendborg
- Odense
South of Odense, moated Egeskov Castle comes before Faaborg and the wooded hills nicknamed the "Funen Alps". In Svendborg, the ferry takes your motorhome to Ærøskøbing, a village of colourful houses and cobbled lanes, then on to Marstal, a former port of ocean-going sailors. The streets of Ærøskøbing are narrow: park at the entrance to the village and explore on foot.

The medieval castle of Nyborg opens the road to the south-east. Over the Svendborgsund bridge you reach Tåsinge, Valdemar's Castle and Troense, a captains' hamlet with thatched roofs, then Langeland: Rudkøbing, Tranekær Castle and, at the southern tip, the cliffs and meadows of Gulstav, where ponies roam semi-wild. From Spodsbjerg, a ferry crosses to Lolland if you want to continue towards Zealand.

Via Bogense and its low-lying coast you reach Middelfart, on the Little Belt, then the harbour of Assens. At Bøjden, on the south-western tip of the island, a ferry crosses to Fynshav on the island of Als: Sønderborg Castle comes before Aabenraa, another departure city of our partners, at the head of its fjord. A one-way trip along small roads, far from the E20 motorway.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Odense?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 16 to 20 °C, lows 8 to 12 °C
The best months for the archipelago: long days, open campsites and ferries without queues. In May, Funen's orchards are in bloom; in September, the sea stays around 18 °C and the harbours of Ærø and Langeland are quiet again.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 21 °C, lows 13 to 14 °C
The height of the Danish summer: the beaches of Langeland and Ærø come alive, ferries fill up and campsites are fully booked. These are also among the wettest months, with mostly short showers: an awning and rain gear remain useful.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 8 to 13 °C, lows 1 to 8 °C
A cool, windy shoulder season, when some island campsites have not yet opened or have already closed. Odense's museums can be visited without crowds, and April already brings around ten hours of sunshine a day; October, on the other hand, is one of the rainiest months.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 5 to 8 °C, lows 0 to 4 °C
Very short days, often less than three hours of sunshine a day, and sometimes icy roads: winter is best suited to a short trip in a heated motorhome, around Odense's Christmas market and the campsites open all year round.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Book the Ærø ferry
The ferries between Svendborg and Ærøskøbing carry motorhomes, with a fare that depends on the length of the vehicle. In summer and at weekends, book your crossing online a few days ahead, and arrive at the boarding point well before departure time.
Visit Odense by tram
Odense's old quarter, around Andersen's birthplace, is largely pedestrianised and ill-suited to large vehicles. Park your motorhome on the outskirts, near a stop of the tram, which crosses the city and serves the station and the centre.
Self-service farm stalls
Along Funen's small roads, stalls in front of farms sell strawberries, new potatoes or eggs, with an honesty box. Keep a few coins in Danish kroner: the mobile payment offered on site does not always work with a foreign account.
Bikes and the archipelago trail
Gently rolling Funen is criss-crossed by signposted cycle routes, and the archipelago trail, the Øhavsstien, follows the south coast and the islands on foot. Ask the rental company whether a bike rack can be supplied: on Ærø, leaving the motorhome at the campsite and getting around by bike is often easier.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Odense
Where can I pick up a campervan in Odense?
Pick-up takes place at the Anywhere Campers depot in Odense, our partner company on site. The exact address and meeting time are given in your booking confirmation. If you arrive by train, let the company know: Odense central station has direct services from Copenhagen and Jutland.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Odense?
The price depends mainly on the period, the length of hire and the size of the vehicle: a van for two and a family motorhome are not priced the same, and summer remains the busiest season. Run a search with your pick-up and return dates to see the actual offers, mandatory fees included, bookable straight away.
Which vehicle should I choose for the South Funen islands?
The models offered from Odense range from the Van for 2, for two people, to the Carado T-447 and Sunlight T 68 low-profile motorhomes, up to the Adria Matrix and the Sunlight A70, sleeping five and six. In old harbours and on Ærø, streets are narrow and the ferry is charged by length: a compact vehicle is more at ease there.
Can I do a one-way trip from Odense?
Yes: our partners also have departures in Aarhus, Copenhagen, Billund, Aalborg and Aabenraa, so you can return the vehicle elsewhere in Denmark. One-way trips do depend on the rental company and may involve extra fees: enter the return city in your search to see the available offers and their full price.

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.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Odense
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome on Funen?
A category B licence is enough for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, which covers vans and most motorhomes. If your licence was issued outside the European Union, check whether it is recognised in Denmark or must be accompanied by an international driving permit. The minimum age and years of driving experience are set by the rental company.
How do I get to Odense by plane?
International flights mainly arrive in Copenhagen and Billund. From Copenhagen Airport, direct trains reach Odense in just under two hours; from Billund, you need to combine bus and train, or allow about an hour and a quarter by road. Odense's small airport has very few scheduled flights.
Where can I sleep in a motorhome on Funen?
Overnight parking outside authorised places is prohibited in Denmark. Funen and its islands have many campsites, often by the sea, as well as motorhome pitches at private homes and on farms. On Ærø and Langeland, campsites near the beaches fill up quickly in July: book your pitch.
What is there to see in Odense before setting off?
The H.C. Andersen museum and the storyteller's birthplace, in the old quarter of low houses, tell the story of his life and his fairy tales. Den Fynske Landsby, an open-air museum village south of the city, shows the Funen countryside of the past. St. Canute's Cathedral and Odense Zoo round off a day before departure.
When should I book a campervan in Odense?
For late June, July and early August, which coincide with the Danish school holidays, book several months ahead, especially as only one depot serves the city. In spring and September, a few weeks are often enough. Departures in May or September also leave more choice between vans and motorhomes.
Can I drive to Germany in a campervan hired in Odense?
The German border is just under two hours' drive away, over the Little Belt bridge and along the South Jutland motorway. Travelling abroad depends on the rental company's conditions and insurance: check the permitted countries in the offer before planning Flensburg, Lübeck or Hamburg.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Odense
Odense lies in the centre of Denmark: starting from Funen, you avoid long transfers and enjoy a country on a motorhome scale. The island, nicknamed the garden of Denmark, combines orchards, wheat fields, castles and manor houses, while to the south the archipelago lines up dozens of islets, fishing harbours and captains' villages. To the north-east, the Hindsholm peninsula, the port of Kerteminde and the Ladby Viking ship make for another day of discovery.
Anywhere Campers offers vans for two and motorhomes sleeping up to six here. With Aarhus 85 km as the crow flies and Copenhagen 140 km away, both departure cities of our partners, Odense is as well suited to an island loop as to a crossing of the country. From June to September, the mild climate and long evenings make every stage enjoyable.
