The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.
Motorhomes Italy in Paris: a French departure for an Italian company
A specialist in hire in Italy, Motorhomes Italy has one city in France: Paris. Our records give no address for this departure. The handover appointment is set with the booking, and our team helps you make it fit with your arrival by train or plane.
The Île-de-France region is a good starting point for the great motorhome classics. Normandy begins an hour from the capital, with Giverny, Étretat and then the D-Day beaches, and Mont-Saint-Michel about 360 km away. The Loire châteaux, from Chambord to Amboise, take a little over two hours to reach, the Champagne hillsides around Reims or Épernay a little less.
CoolDrive has not yet recorded any Motorhomes Italy offer in France. The vehicle, the price, the number of kilometres included and the excess are shown in the offer for the dates you are searching.
Our view: a practical departure if you are arriving in Paris, and an option worth considering for then heading down to Italy, where the company has most of its branches, provided the offer accepts a return there. As things stand, a single city, with no known address or price: compare it with the rental companies based in France.

Motorhomes Italy: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Motorhomes Italy is ideal if…
- You are arriving in Paris and want to head straight for Normandy or Mont-Saint-Michel
- You want to combine Loire châteaux and vineyards in one or two weeks
- You are planning a trip down to Italy, if the offer accepts a return there
Motorhomes Italy is not ideal if…
- You dread driving a motorhome in Paris-region traffic
- You want the exact address of the departure point before booking
Our tips for booking with Motorhomes Italy
-
Check the Crit'Air sticker
Paris and its inner suburbs form a low-emission zone where every vehicle must display its Crit'Air sticker, including vehicles registered abroad. At handover, check that it is stuck on the windscreen; if not, do not drive in the zone before sorting the matter out with our experts.
-
Leave Paris at the right time
The Périphérique ring road and the outbound motorways are gridlocked on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and holiday departures clog up Fridays. Aim for mid-morning, or early morning at the weekend, for your first kilometres behind the wheel of a vehicle that is new to you.
-
Prepare your crossing of the Alps
To reach Italy, the Mont Blanc and Fréjus tunnels are tolled, with a price that depends on the vehicle category. In summer, passes such as the Montgenèvre offer a slower but spectacular alternative. Allow about 800 km from Paris to Turin.
Your questions about Motorhomes Italy
Where can you pick up a Motorhomes Italy motorhome in France?
Only in Paris, according to our data. The address is not published in our records: the meeting place reaches you once the booking is confirmed. If you are arriving at a station or the airport, ask us for the best way to get there before setting the time.
What budget for a Motorhomes Italy motorhome from Paris?
CoolDrive has not yet recorded any price for this departure, and those observed in Italy do not apply to Paris. Run a search with your dates: the final price is shown with what is included, mileage and excess among them. School holidays and summer are generally the most expensive periods.
Can you set off from Paris and return the motorhome in Italy?
The idea is appealing, since the company has its branches on the other side of the Alps, in Turin, Milan or Venice. This type of trip does, however, depend on the offer: choose an Italian city as your final destination in the search, and only the offers that accept it, including any fees, will remain visible.
They rented with Motorhomes Italy
The two service providers charged me for insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one, I no longer receive a response. I will travel again in a camper van but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.
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!
FAQ — Motorhomes Italy motorhome hire in France
Why go through CoolDrive for Motorhomes Italy in Paris?
The search sets this offer against those of Anywhere Campers, BlackSheep or Avis Explore for the same dates, with an all-inclusive price. You can thus see whether it is better to set off from Paris or from another city. Once the hire is booked, our experts stay in touch with the company for the handover.
Which licence do you need to drive a motorhome in France?
The category B licence covers motorhomes of up to 3.5 tonnes, which is the majority of rental models. A European Union licence is valid as it is; holders of a licence from another country would be wise to carry an international driving permit. The company's age requirements are written in the offer.
Where can you spend the night in a motorhome around Paris?
The Bois de Boulogne campsite is the closest to the centre. Elsewhere, France has a very dense network of motorhome service areas, often free or inexpensive in villages, as well as campsites throughout Normandy and the Loire Valley.
