Anywhere Campers DusseldorfDusseldorfView map
Hiring a campervan in Düsseldorf opens the road along the Rhine: heading upstream, you reach Cologne, the Romantic Rhine valley and its castles, then the vineyards of the Moselle; to the east lie the lakes and forests of the Sauerland, to the south-west the extinct volcanoes of the Eifel. The Netherlands begin less than an hour's drive away. 5 partner companies offer campervans, converted vans and motorhomes: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express, DRM, Indie Campers and Rent Easy.
Two depots are in Düsseldorf itself, the other three in Hilden, Krefeld and Mülheim an der Ruhr, all less than 30 km away.

Road trips from Dusseldorf
1 The Romantic Rhine and the Moselle valley
- Düsseldorf
- Cologne
- Bonn
- Koblenz
- Sankt Goar
- Bacharach
- Bernkastel-Kues
- Cochem
- Düsseldorf
After Cologne and its cathedral, then Bonn, the Rhine cuts a deep gorge from Koblenz onwards: hilltop castles, wine villages and the Lorelei rock between Sankt Goar and Bacharach, in a World Heritage-listed valley. You then cross the Hunsrück hills to reach the Moselle at Bernkastel-Kues and follow its meanders to Cochem. Both riverbanks have many motorhome areas, often at the foot of the vineyards.

2 The industrial Ruhr and the Sauerland lakes
- Düsseldorf
- Duisburg
- Essen
- Bochum
- Möhnesee
- Winterberg
- Biggesee
- Düsseldorf
To the north, the former Ruhr coalfield has turned into cultural landscapes: the illuminated blast furnaces of Duisburg's Landschaftspark, the UNESCO-listed Zollverein colliery in Essen and the German Mining Museum in Bochum. You then leave the conurbation for the Sauerland, its wooded hills and reservoirs, from the Möhnesee to the Biggesee, with Winterberg for hiking and mountain biking.

3 Aachen and the volcanic Eifel
- Düsseldorf
- Aachen
- Monschau
- Rursee
- Daun
- Nürburgring
- Maria Laach
- Düsseldorf
Head south-west to Aachen, its Carolingian cathedral and its thermal baths, on the doorstep of Belgium and the Netherlands. Monschau and its half-timbered houses open the way to Eifel National Park and the Rur reservoir; further south, the maars, round lakes born of ancient volcanoes, surround Daun, before the Nürburgring circuit and Maria Laach Abbey on the shore of its crater lake.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Dusseldorf?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 23 °C, lows 10 to 14 °C
The best months to leave from Düsseldorf: long days, with up to twelve hours of sunshine in June, and terraces open along the Rhine. September adds the grape harvest and wine festivals on the Moselle and the Middle Rhine, with motorhome areas less crowded than in high summer.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 24 °C, lows 15 °C
Peak season, with school holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia and neighbouring countries: motorhome areas on the Rhine and the Moselle fill up by the afternoon and campervans are the first to be booked. It is mild rather than hot, but summer showers are frequent: an awning and rain gear remain useful.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 3 to 9 °C
Cool but workable shoulder seasons: orchards in bloom in spring, colourful forests in the Eifel and the Sauerland in October. Nights stay cold in March and April, and a heated vehicle is preferable. The Ruhr museums and old towns can then be visited without the crowds.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 6 to 10 °C, lows 1 to 5 °C
A grey, damp winter with little sunshine, but it is the season of the Christmas markets in Düsseldorf, Cologne and Aachen, then of the Rhineland carnival, which peaks on Rosenmontag in February or early March. Winter tyres are compulsory in Germany in snowy or icy conditions: check the vehicle's equipment and choose motorhome areas open in winter.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Three depots outside Düsseldorf
Anywhere Campers and Autocaravan Express welcome you in Düsseldorf, but DRM is in Hilden, to the south-east, Indie Campers in Krefeld, to the north-west, and Rent Easy at the HYMER-Zentrum in Mülheim an der Ruhr, to the north-east. These three towns are linked to Düsseldorf and its airport by S-Bahn or regional trains: confirm the vehicle handover time with the rental company.
Umweltzone: the green sticker
Düsseldorf, Cologne, Aachen and several Ruhr cities have an Umweltzone, a low-emission zone where only vehicles displaying the green sticker (grüne Plakette) may drive. Rental motorhomes registered in Germany normally have one: check it is on the windscreen before leaving, and find out about the rules in force in each city.
Stellplätze by the water
Germany has thousands of Wohnmobilstellplätze, areas reserved for motorhomes, often paid at a ticket machine, with or without electricity and waste disposal. On the Moselle and the Middle Rhine, many line the river or belong to wine estates that welcome travellers for the night. In season, arrive before late afternoon: most cannot be booked.
Traffic jams on the Rhine-Ruhr axis
Düsseldorf lies at the heart of one of Europe's largest urban areas, and the A3, A40 and A1 motorways are often congested, especially at rush hour and on Fridays. Leave early in the morning or in the middle of the day, and check your route: some Rhine bridges under repair restrict the weight or width of vehicles allowed.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Dusseldorf
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Düsseldorf?
Our searches in October 2026 found prices from €80 per day, mandatory fees included, across 264 offers from four rental companies. Seasonal differences are marked: for a July departure, campervans started at €140 per day and large motorhomes at €164. Run a search with your dates to get real prices you can book straight away.
What vehicles can I hire in Düsseldorf?
The choice ranges from compact campervans to family motorhomes: Active and Adventurer vans with two to four berths, the four-wheel-drive City Adventure and Adventurer Ultimate, the low-profile Carado T-447 with four berths and the Adria Matrix with five seats and five berths, with manual or automatic gearboxes. Availability varies by company and dates.
Can I drive to the Netherlands or Belgium?
Yes, the Dutch border is less than an hour away: Venlo, Roermond and Maastricht are easy to reach, and Belgium begins beyond Aachen. Check in the offer conditions that these countries are covered by the insurance, and find out about Dutch and Belgian low-emission zones, some of which require foreign vehicles to be registered in advance.
Can I visit Düsseldorf by motorhome?
Better to leave the vehicle outside the centre: the old town (Altstadt), the Königsallee and the Medienhafen are best explored on foot, and underground car parks are too low for a motorhome. Park at a motorhome area or campsite on the outskirts, then reach the Rhine promenade by tram or U-Bahn; the same approach works in Cologne.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Düsseldorf
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Germany?
A European category B licence lets you drive campervans, converted vans and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers the vast majority of rental vehicles. Above that, category C1 is required. With a licence issued outside the European Union, an international driving permit or an official translation may be required; the minimum age and years of driving depend on the rental company.
Are German motorways tolled?
No: the Autobahnen are free for cars and motorhomes, with no vignette or toll, as the German motorway charge only applies to goods vehicles. Part of the network has no general speed limit for light vehicles, but motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes remain subject to a lower maximum speed there, as on all other roads.
Can I sleep anywhere in a motorhome in Germany?
Wild camping is forbidden, but one night's parking to rest is generally tolerated in a public car park not signposted as prohibited, provided you set nothing up outside: no chairs, no table, no awning. Rules vary between federal states and municipalities, and the ban is strict in nature reserves and Eifel National Park.
Is mileage unlimited?
Not always: only 35% of the offers observed in our searches in Düsseldorf included unlimited mileage. The others include a set number of kilometres, then charge for each extra kilometre. For a loop via the Moselle or a trip to the Netherlands, compare this point on each offer before booking.
What excess should I expect?
The median excess of the offers observed in Düsseldorf is €2,000: this is the amount you would have to pay in the event of damage. Additional insurance can sometimes reduce it, and the deposit required at pick-up depends on the rental company: read the conditions of each offer, especially if you plan to drive the narrow lanes of the wine villages.
When should I book a motorhome in Düsseldorf?
Several months ahead for July and August, but also for late August and early September, when the Caravan Salon, one of the world's largest motorhome fairs, is held at the Düsseldorf exhibition centre. Christmas markets and carnival also fill some motorhome areas. The rest of the year, a few weeks are usually enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf lies at the crossroads of north-western Europe. From here the Rhine leads south to the castles of the romantic valley and the vineyards of the Moselle, the Sauerland lakes and the Eifel volcanoes are a few hours away, and the Netherlands and Belgium can be reached in a morning. Between stages, the Ruhr offers an industrial heritage unlike anywhere else in Europe.
Five partner companies, in Düsseldorf and in the neighbouring towns of Hilden, Krefeld and Mülheim an der Ruhr, offer everything from four-wheel-drive campervans to family motorhomes, with prices observed from €80 per day in October 2026. Cologne, Essen, Mettmann and Grevenbroich, other departure cities of our partners, widen the choice further for a one-way trip or a start closer to your route.
