Weather and seasons
When to go in Aachen?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 18 to 22 °C, lows 9 to 13 °C
The best months to leave from Aachen: long sunny days, High Fens trails open to walkers, broom in bloom across the Eifel in spring and motorhome areas still quiet. Rain remains frequent all year round in this upland region: pack a waterproof jacket even in June.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 23 °C, lows 14 to 15 °C
Peak season, without great heat: German, Belgian and Dutch school holidays overlap, and Monschau, Valkenburg and the beaches of Rur Lake get very busy. At the start of summer, the CHIO international horse show also fills the city. Book your vehicle and pitches early.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 10 to 15 °C, lows 3 to 9 °C
Cool but pleasant shoulder seasons for towns and museums: Maastricht, Liège and the centre of Aachen can be visited without crowds. In October, the beech forests of the Eifel and the Ardennes turn to autumn colours; nights stay cool, so a heated vehicle is preferable.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 5 to 10 °C, lows 1 to 5 °C
Winter is grey and short on light, with three to five hours of sunshine a day. Yet from late November to Christmas, the Christmas market around the cathedral and the town hall draws many visitors, as does the one in Monschau: a short break in a heated motorhome, with a campsite open in winter.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Getting to Roetgen and Düren
Only Anywhere Campers hands over vehicles in Aachen itself. McRent is based in Roetgen, about twenty kilometres south, easiest to reach by taxi from the station; Rent Easy is in Düren, about thirty kilometres east, a town served by regional trains between Aachen and Cologne. Agree on the handover time with the rental company.
Three countries, three sets of rules
No motorway vignette is required for a motorhome under 3.5 tonnes in Germany, Belgium or the Netherlands, but low-emission zones differ: a green sticker in the German cities that have one, prior registration of foreign vehicles in Brussels, Antwerp or Ghent, restrictions on older diesels in some Dutch cities. Check the rules in force before each crossing.
The old town on foot
Around the cathedral, the town hall and the Markt square, the centre of Aachen is compact, largely pedestrianised and surrounded by narrow streets. Leave the motorhome in a motorhome area or a car park on the outskirts and continue on foot or by bus, especially during the Christmas market, when traffic there is very heavy.
Winter tyres and Eifel roads
In Germany, suitable tyres are compulsory whenever the road is snowy or icy. The Eifel heights and the High Fens plateau, colder than the city, regularly see snow and freezing fog in winter. Check the vehicle's equipment at handover and slow down on the steep descents into Monschau.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Aachen
Where can I pick up a campervan in Aachen?
Three partner companies welcome you: Anywhere Campers in Aachen, McRent at Zum Genagelten Stein 11 in Roetgen, south of the city, and Rent Easy at Felix-Wankel-Straße 9 in Düren, to the east. Choose the depot according to your route: Roetgen is already on the way to the Eifel and the High Fens, Düren on the way to Cologne.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Aachen?
Our searches in October 2026, covering 160 offers from three rental companies, found prices from €80 per day, mandatory fees included, for a campervan in winter. In July, observed prices start at €141 per day for a campervan, €155 for a low-profile motorhome and €167 for a large motorhome. Run a search with your dates to get real prices.
Can I drive to Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg?
From Aachen, all three countries are less than two hours' drive away, and the border is often only noticeable from the road signs. Rental companies generally allow neighbouring countries, sometimes with conditions: check the countries covered by the insurance in the offer conditions before planning Maastricht, the Ardennes or Vianden.
Which vehicles are available from Aachen?
The offers observed range from two-berth camper vans, such as the Active and City ranges and the City Adventure 4x4, to the four-berth Carado T-447, with manual or automatic gearbox. For a family, the Adria Matrix M670SL offers five seats and five berths. The availability of each model depends on the rental company and the dates.
Can I return the campervan in Cologne or Düsseldorf?
Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf, less than 75 km away as the crow flies, are also departure cities of our partners, as are Grevenbroich and Rheinbach. A one-way trip lets you end your journey on the Rhine. Fees may apply: they are included in the displayed price as soon as you enter the return city when searching.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Aachen
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Germany?
A European category B licence is enough for campervans, camper vans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes, which covers most rental vehicles. With a licence issued outside the European Union, a translation or an international driving permit may be required. Each rental company sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, shown in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Aachen?
On the German side, Wohnmobilstellplätze, areas reserved for motorhomes, are plentiful in the Eifel and around Rur Lake; wild camping is banned in the national park. In the Netherlands, spending the night outside a campsite or authorised area is generally fined, and Belgium also regulates overnight parking: check the local rules.
Is mileage unlimited?
In our searches in October 2026, 58% of the offers observed from Aachen included unlimited mileage. The others include a mileage allowance per day or per rental. Check this condition on each offer, especially for a loop through the Ardennes and Luxembourg or a long trip south.
What excess should I expect when hiring in Aachen?
The median excess of the offers observed in October 2026 is €2,000. This is the amount that may remain payable by you in the event of damage, often blocked as a deposit on a credit card at pick-up. Some rental companies offer additional insurance to reduce it: compare these options in the offer conditions.
Which airport should I choose for a departure from Aachen?
Cologne Bonn and Düsseldorf airports have the best connections, with trains to Aachen and Düren. The small Maastricht Aachen Airport, in Beek in the Netherlands, is the closest. From Brussels, direct trains reach Aachen central station in under two hours.
When should I book a campervan in Aachen?
Several months ahead for July and August, when the holidays of three countries add up, and for Christmas market weekends. With only three rental companies on site, the choice of campervans shrinks quickly in high season. In spring and autumn, a few weeks is usually enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Aachen
Aachen is one of the few cities from which you can visit three countries in a single day. Half an hour's drive away, you can choose between the peat bogs of the High Fens, the deep valleys of the Eifel and the banks of the Meuse in Maastricht and Liège; with a few more days, the Ardennes, Luxembourg and the Moselle are within reach. The city itself deserves a stop: Charlemagne's cathedral, thermal baths and its traditional gingerbread, Printen.
Three partner companies offer campervans, camper vans and motorhomes, with prices observed from €80 per day in October 2026. Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf, other departure cities of our partners, allow a one-way trip to the Rhine. And from May to September, the temperate climate makes long days on the road pleasant, without intense heat.
