Rent Easy Fürth c/o Weigl Nutzfahrzeug Service GmbH7, Mühlesteig, Langenzenn 90579View map
Motorhome hire in Fürth starts your trip from a Franconian town that stays off the main tourist circuits, even though it borders Nuremberg. Spared by wartime bombing, its old town lines whole streets with Baroque and Neoclassical façades, at the confluence of the Pegnitz and the Rednitz, which join here to form the Regnitz. To the south lie the Franconian lakes, to the west the carp ponds of the Aischgrund and the forests of the Steigerwald, to the north the road to Bamberg and the Upper Main.
1 rental partner and 1 branch: Rent Easy, which hands over its vehicles in Langenzenn, west of the town.

Heading south, Schwabach, the town of the gold beaters, and Roth, with its Ratibor palace, lead to the hop country around Spalt.

Weather and seasons
When to go Fürth?
Best time
May to September
May to September
highs 19 to 25 °C, lows 8 to 14 °C
The ideal season around Fürth: long days, water in the Franconian lakes warm enough for swimming in high summer and beer gardens open. July and August are, however, the wettest months, with late-afternoon thunderstorms, and the Bavarian school holidays fill the lakeside campsites.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 15 °C, lows 1 to 7 °C
Cool but often bright months, with nights close to freezing in March. In early October, the Michaelmas Kirchweih fills the streets of central Fürth with rides and stalls, and carp season is in full swing in the Aischgrund: good reasons to travel off season.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 4 to 8 °C, lows -1 to 2 °C
The Franconian winter is grey, cold and short on sunshine, with frequent frosts. During Advent, Fürth holds its own Christmas market, more intimate than its neighbour's, and the country breweries stay open: a well-heated vehicle and a year-round campsite are all you need to enjoy it.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
A departure away from the traffic jams
The Langenzenn branch lies in the Zenn valley, west of the urban area, so you avoid crossing Nuremberg and its expressways, congested at rush hour. The nearby B8 heads for Neustadt an der Aisch and Würzburg, and you can join the A3 or A73 to go north or south.
Fürth on foot, Nuremberg by metro
Fürth's old town is best explored on foot, from the Gustavstraße and its taverns to the town hall, whose tower is modelled on the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Leave the motorhome outside the centre: metro line U1 links Fürth to the heart of Nuremberg in under half an hour, with no parking to look for.
The Kirchweih in early October
Around Michaelmas, in late September and early October, the Fürth Kirchweih takes over the central streets for about twelve days with rides, stalls and a parade: it is one of the largest street fairs in Bavaria. Driving and parking in town become difficult, so enjoy it on foot.
Nights by the lakes
Wild camping is prohibited in Bavaria, and some car parks along the shores of the Brombachsee and the Altmühlsee may ban motorhomes overnight: follow the signs. Campsites and motorhome areas around the lakes are plentiful but in high demand on summer weekends; elsewhere, a single night's rest in a car park is generally tolerated.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip Fürth
Where do I pick up a motorhome in Fürth?
Rent Easy hands over its vehicles in Langenzenn, a small town about fifteen kilometres west of central Fürth, at Mühlesteig 7, at the commercial vehicle specialist Weigl. The appointment time is in your booking confirmation; let the branch know if your train or flight is delayed.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Fürth?
The price varies with the season, the length of hire and the size of the vehicle: a van for two does not cost the same as a family motorhome, and summer around the Franconian lakes is the busiest period. Search with your dates to compare real offers, mandatory fees included, bookable immediately.
How do I get to the branch from the airport or the station?
Nuremberg airport is about half an hour's drive from Langenzenn: a taxi is easiest with luggage. By train, the regional line through the Zenn valley leaves from Fürth central station, itself served by long-distance trains; then check the route to Mühlesteig.
Can I do a one-way trip from Fürth?
Yes, our rental companies also depart from Nuremberg, Ansbach, Würzburg, Regensburg, Wertheim and Günzburg. You can end your trip on the Danube in Regensburg or on the banks of the Main in Würzburg. Any one-way fees are included in the displayed price as soon as you choose a different return city.
What should I see in Fürth before hitting the road?
The Jewish Museum of Franconia, in a house on Königstraße, tells the story of the community that earned Fürth the nickname of the “Franconian Jerusalem”, birthplace of Henry Kissinger. The Radio Museum occupies the former Grundig headquarters. At the Nuremberg Transport Museum, a replica of the Adler locomotive recalls Germany's first train, which linked Nuremberg and Fürth from 1835.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Motorhome hire in Fürth
Which licence do I need for a motorhome hired in Fürth?
A European category B licence covers vans, campervans and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes, which is the vast majority of rental vehicles. With a licence issued outside the European Union, bring an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and licence history required by Rent Easy are given in the offer conditions.
Are German roads tolled for motorhomes?
No: motorways and federal roads are free for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes, as the German toll only applies to goods vehicles. If you continue to Austria or the Czech Republic, buy that country's vignette before the border. For low-emission zones, check the rules in force.
Where can I stay overnight in a motorhome around Fürth?
To visit Fürth and Nuremberg, the most practical choice is a campsite in the urban area with a metro connection. To the south, the Franconian lakes have many waterside campsites; to the north and west, many villages, breweries and estates welcome motorhomes on dedicated pitches, sometimes for a single night.
Do I need winter tyres when leaving from Fürth?
German law requires winter tyres, marked with the mountain symbol, whenever the road is snowy, icy or frosty. Around Fürth, these conditions occur mainly from December to February, and more often on the heights of the Steigerwald or the Upper Main. Ask the rental company what equipment is provided for a winter departure.
Can you swim in the Franconian lakes?
Yes, these reservoirs, built to supply northern Bavaria with water, are now swimming spots, with supervised beaches, marinas and cycle paths all around. The water becomes pleasant in July and August. The larger Brombachsee is suited to sailing; the shallow Altmühlsee is ideal for families.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Fürth
Fürth lives in Nuremberg's shadow, and that is its charm: an intact old town, a distinctive Jewish and industrial history, the pace of a small town. For motorhome travellers, its main advantage is its location, west of the urban area, between three very different Franconias: the lakes and Roman remains to the south, the ponds and forests of the Aischgrund and Steigerwald to the west, and the cathedrals, fortresses and breweries of the Upper Main to the north.
Rent Easy offers its vehicles from Langenzenn, and Nuremberg, Ansbach, Würzburg and Regensburg, other departure cities of our rental companies, let you return the vehicle elsewhere. The continental climate keeps the best conditions for May to September, but the October Kirchweih and winter carp give reasons to come off season.
