Anywhere Campers BonnBonnView map
Campervan hire in Bonn starts your trip on the banks of the Rhine, facing the seven hills of the Siebengebirge, where the river leaves its gorges to enter the Cologne plain. Beethoven's birthplace and the former federal capital, Bonn opens onto the red-wine vineyards of the Ahr, the forests of the Westerwald, the Lahn valley and the ridges of the Hunsrück, all less than half a day's drive away. Our partner Anywhere Campers hands over its campervans and converted vans here.
The offers compared range from a compact two-berth van to a five-seat family motorhome, and nearby Cologne and Rheinbach widen the choice.

A short loop that begins on the other side of the Rhine: Königswinter and the Drachenfels rack railway, then Bad Honnef and the half-timbered houses of Linz am Rhein. A ferry takes you back to the left bank towards Remagen and the towers of its bridge, lost in 1945. You then follow the Ahr upstream, from Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler to Altenahr, between terraced vineyards and villages rebuilding since the flood of July 2021.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Bonn?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 24 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C
The best months to leave from Bonn: long days with up to eleven hours of sunshine, and Rhine campsites still quiet. In September, the grape harvest livens up the Ahr valley and wine festivals follow one another in the villages, while in June the trails of the Siebengebirge and the Westerwald are at their greenest.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 24 to 25 °C, lows 15 °C
The height of summer, with school holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia and neighbouring countries: campsites along the Rhine, the Lahn and the Saar fill up. Thunderstorms remain frequent, July being the wettest month of the summer. Book your vehicle early and prefer weekday departures.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 3 to 9 °C
Cool but appealing shoulder seasons. In April, Japanese cherry trees blossom in the streets of Bonn's old town, an image famous throughout Germany. In October, the forests of the Siebengebirge and the Eifel take on their autumn colours and new wine is served in the Ahr taverns. Nights remain cold: plan on using the heating.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 6 to 10 °C, lows 1 to 5 °C
A grey, damp winter, with barely three to four hours of sunshine a day in December and January. The Christmas markets of Bonn, Siegburg and Cologne still justify a short getaway. On the heights of the Westerwald and the Eifel, snow and ice can take you by surprise: check the vehicle's winter equipment.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Arriving by plane or ICE train
Cologne Bonn Airport lies between the two cities, half an hour's drive from central Bonn, and an express bus links it to the main station. From Frankfurt Airport, ICE trains on the high-speed line reach Siegburg/Bonn station in under an hour, then tram 66 runs down to Bonn.
Crossing the Rhine by ferry
South of Bonn, no bridge crosses the Rhine before Neuwied: the ferries at Bad Godesberg, Rolandseck or Linz link the two banks and carry vehicles. They save long detours to the Siebengebirge or the Ahr, but check each operator's height, length and weight limits before you turn up.
Visiting Bonn by tram
The old town around Münsterplatz and Beethoven's birthplace is largely pedestrianised, and parking large vehicles there is difficult. Leave the motorhome at a park-and-ride on the outskirts: the tram serves the centre, the Museum Mile in the federal district and Bad Godesberg, and the Rhine banks are ideal by bike.
Rhein in Flammen and Pützchens Markt
In early May, the Rhein in Flammen fireworks light up the Rhine from the Siebengebirge to Bonn and draw hundreds of thousands of spectators; in September, the great Pützchens Markt funfair takes over the Beuel district. On those days, roads are closed, bridges jammed and motorhome areas full: shift your departure or return.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Bonn
Where can I pick up a campervan in Bonn?
Anywhere Campers, our partner company in Bonn, hands over its campervans and converted vans in the city itself. The exact address and appointment time are in your booking confirmation. If you arrive by train or plane, let the company know your schedule so it can arrange the key handover and the vehicle briefing.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Bonn?
Our searches in October 2026, comparing two rental companies and 148 offers for 15 days, mandatory fees included, found prices from €80 per day for a campervan in winter or autumn. In July, expect from €141 per day for a campervan and from €167 for a large motorhome. Run a search with your dates to get bookable prices.
Which vehicles are available from Bonn?
The offers observed cover the Compact, Comfort and Family ranges, from two to five berths, as well as the four-berth Carado T-447 and the Adria Matrix M670SL, a family motorhome with five seats and five berths. Both models come with manual or automatic gearboxes: filter by transmission in your search if it matters to you.
What if no vehicle is available in Bonn?
Widen your search to nearby departure cities: Rheinbach, at the foot of the Eifel, is 18 km away as the crow flies, Cologne 24 km and Düsseldorf 59 km. All three are linked to Bonn by regional train, so you can start your trip a little further away without changing your route.
How many days should I plan around Bonn?
A long weekend is enough for the nearby Siebengebirge and Ahr valley. Allow four to five days for the Westerwald and the Lahn, and nearly a week to go as far as the Hunsrück and the Saar. With a two-week hire, you can add the Moselle, Luxembourg or the Netherlands.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Bonn
What licence do I need to hire a motorhome in Bonn?
A category B licence is enough for most of the campervans, converted vans and motorhomes offered, which do not exceed 3.5 tonnes. Drivers holding a licence issued outside Europe often also need to show an international driving permit. The minimum age and number of years of driving required are set by each company and shown in the offer conditions.
Do I need a vignette to drive around Bonn?
No motorway vignette or toll is charged to motorhomes on German motorways. However, Bonn has defined an environmental zone, the Umweltzone, reserved for vehicles displaying the green sticker. Vehicles hired in Germany are normally fitted with one; check the rules in force before entering the centre.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Bonn?
Campsites and motorhome areas, called Stellplätze, line the banks of the Rhine, the Ahr valley and the Lahn, often near vineyards or marinas. Sleeping one night in an authorised public car park is tolerated as long as nothing is set up outside; wild camping is forbidden, especially in the Siebengebirge nature reserves.
Is mileage unlimited when leaving from Bonn?
Yes for all the offers observed in our searches in Bonn: unlimited mileage was always included. Conditions may still vary from one company and period to another, so check this point on each offer, especially if you are planning a long loop to the Saar or neighbouring countries.
What excess should I expect for a hire in Bonn?
The median excess of the offers observed in Bonn is €2,000: this is the amount you would have to pay in the event of damage. Depending on the company, an excess reduction option can lower it. The deposit blocked at departure is shown in the conditions of each offer, to be read before booking.
When should I book a motorhome in Bonn?
Several months ahead for July and August, as well as for the Rhein in Flammen weekend in early May, when motorhome areas in the Rhine valley are fully booked. For September, the harvest season in the Ahr, a few weeks are often enough. In winter the choice remains wide, but the number of vehicles available in Bonn itself is limited.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Bonn
Bonn is a quieter starting point than the big Rhineland cities, but just as well placed: within an hour's drive you reach the Ahr vineyards, the Westerwald or the maars of the Eifel, and the Rhine castles begin just south of the city. Before leaving, Beethoven's birthplace, the museums of the federal district and the Rheinaue riverside park are worth a day.
Anywhere Campers hires out campervans and converted vans here, and the offers compared go up to a five-berth family motorhome, with prices observed from €80 per day in October 2026 and unlimited mileage on all offers observed. From May to September, the mild climate suits short loops as well as trips to the Saar, Luxembourg or the Netherlands.
