Traveling by camper van in Germany: when to go and how to optimize your budget
Germany offers a remarkable climatic diversity, from the northern maritime coast to the southern Bavarian Alps, making it an ideal destination for camper van trips year-round. Rental rates and weather conditions vary considerably by season, allowing every traveler to find the perfect time to explore this multifaceted country.
The best times to travel
The summer season from May to September remains the favored time to discover Germany by camper van. During this period, the weather is warm and stable, especially from late May to June, when the days are longer and campgrounds are not yet crowded. Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne enjoy pleasant temperatures ranging from 10 to 13 degrees in June, while Munich, further south, experiences slightly cooler but ideal conditions for exploring the alpine regions. Spring and autumn are also excellent periods, with temperatures around 15 degrees, perfect for cycling and walking.
For winter sports enthusiasts, December to February transforms the Bavarian Alps into popular ski destinations, with resorts like Zugspitze, Berchtesgaden, and Oberstdorf offering the best snowfall. The northern coast, particularly the island of Rügen with its Victorian seaside towns, becomes a refreshing summer getaway in July and August, while the oceanic climate of the territories bordering the Baltic and North Seas welcomes sea spray enthusiasts year-round.
Seasonality of rates and regional climate
Camper van rental rates fluctuate drastically by season. The high season of July-August sees prices peak, often exceeding 150 to 180 euros per day for larger models departing from Berlin. The mid-season (May, June, September, April, and October) offers an interesting compromise with rates around 90 to 100 euros per day, while the low season from November to March allows starting from 80 euros per day, or even less for compact vans.
Germany experiences a temperate climate with marked regional variations. The north, with cities like Hamburg, benefits from a mild oceanic climate, while the center oscillates between continental and oceanic influences. Munich and the southern regions are the coldest and wettest in winter, but the warmest in summer, with harsh winters requiring mandatory winter tires in snow or ice. This climatic diversity means that in spring and early autumn, when the weather is most pleasant everywhere, rates remain moderate and travel conditions optimal.

Where to rent in Germany
Driving and regulations for camper vans in Germany
In Germany, driving a camper van under 3.5 tons requires only a category B license, while heavier vehicles must adhere to specific limitations, including a maximum speed of 100 km/h on the highway. The German Road Code (StVO) strictly applies to camper vans, with specific rules on parking and traffic, including the prohibition of exceeding ground markings when parking. On German highways (Autobahn), certain sections have no speed limit, but a recommended speed of 130 km/h is advised, with a reduction to 110 km/h in case of rain. The maximum allowable blood alcohol content is 0.5 g/l, the same as in France.
Sleeping and connecting in camper vans in Germany
Wild camping is strictly prohibited in Germany, particularly in national parks and nature reserves like the Black Forest or the Saxon Switzerland National Park, under penalty of fines that can reach several thousand euros. However, it is possible to stop for rest at public rest areas or parking lots, provided you remain discreet and do not set up external equipment like awnings or barbecues. The Stellplätze network (camper van areas) is well developed, especially around cities like Munich or Hamburg, offering spots with electrical hookups and adapted services.
Local tips and safety for camper van travelers
In Germany, it is mandatory to have on board a warning triangle, a safety vest for each occupant, and a non-expired first aid kit. Vigilance is required in urban areas where many 30 km/h zones are established, particularly in Berlin or Frankfurt. Emission controls are stricter in Umwelt zones (ecological zones), where an environmental sticker is mandatory to circulate, under penalty of fines. Finally, it is advisable to respect local parking and traffic rules to avoid penalties, especially in heavily frequented tourist areas like the Mecklenburg Lake District.

This is our first rental of a modified vehicle, Marléne was very attentive to answer all our questions in preparing for our trip. The follow-up on the file went very well, we can't wait to start our journey. Thank you!
Follow-up and kindness of contact personnel.
Hassle-free booking, quick and courteous pick-up and drop-off. Prompt and attentive response to questions.
Very good service, efficient and fast!
Ease of use, clarity of the site, very easy to find all the information we need, I highly recommend this platform!
Very professional. Comfortable vehicle suited to our needs.
very good service from Cool Drive. A strong point is the possibility of payment by holiday vouchers.
Efficient booking system. I had missed reminder emails to finalize my payment, and someone called me directly to notify me. Area for improvement: having information on the exact model we are going to rent, but this likely depends on the rental company and not on Cooldrive.
Delighted with Cooldrive: the contract is very clear, the selection of campers is very extensive, and we were able to receive advice over the phone about choosing the rental location and the type of camper for this first family experience. Everything is well organized and the prices are competitive. I absolutely recommend it.
Good communication, nothing to say.
This is the second time I have used Cooldrive and I have given the coordinates around me.
First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental needs to be made from France to Canada. Many questions, and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support to guide me in my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and a service that met our expectations. Nothing to complain about. Great!

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...
