Weather and seasons
When to go in Grevenbroich?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 23 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C
The most pleasant months to drive from Grevenbroich: long days, eleven to twelve hours of sunshine in May and June, and the park of Dyck Castle at its best. September, still mild, suits the cycle paths of the Münsterland and the campsites of Dutch Limburg, which become quiet again after the holidays.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 24 °C, lows 15 °C
High summer stays temperate, but the German and Dutch school holidays fill the campsites along the Meuse and in the Münsterland. It is also the season of the marksmen's festivals (Schützenfeste) in neighbouring towns, including Neuss at the end of summer. Book early and be ready for showers.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 3 to 9 °C
Cool but practical shoulder seasons. From April, the white asparagus of the Lower Rhine and Limburg appears on market stalls and in restaurants; in October, the forests of the Maas-Schwalm-Nette nature park take on their colours. Nights remain cold: a heated vehicle is preferable.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 6 to 10 °C, lows 1 to 4 °C
A grey, damp winter, with barely three hours of sunshine a day in December. The Maastricht Christmas market and the carnival, celebrated with fervour from Cologne to Dutch Limburg, liven up the season. In snow or icy conditions, Germany requires suitable tyres: check the vehicle's equipment at departure.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Cologne by train, without the motorhome
No need to look for a motorhome space near Cologne Cathedral: Grevenbroich has direct regional trains to Cologne and Mönchengladbach. Leave the vehicle at a motorhome area or campsite and take the train for a day in the city, with no worries about size or parking.
Relocated roads around Garzweiler
The advance of the Garzweiler lignite mine, west of the town, has wiped out villages and moved roads and sections of motorway in recent years. Update your GPS or navigation app before leaving, and follow the road signs on site between Jüchen and Erkelenz.
Netherlands: nights at campsites
Dutch Limburg is less than an hour away. In the Netherlands, spending the night in a motorhome outside campsites and designated areas is generally prohibited, and several towns have low-emission zones with rules that differ from Germany's: check the current rules before driving into Venlo or Maastricht.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Grevenbroich
Where can I pick up a campervan in Grevenbroich?
CrossRent and Rent Easy, the two partner companies, hand over their vehicles at the same address: Alfred-Nobel-Straße 7, in Grevenbroich, at the premises of Camper-NRW (Hartmann GmbH). The meeting time is in your confirmation; allow some time for the vehicle walkthrough and let the company know if you are running late.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Grevenbroich?
The price mainly depends on the season, the length of hire and the type of vehicle: a compact campervan in October and a family motorhome in high summer are worlds apart. Run a search with your pick-up and return dates to see the real prices of the Grevenbroich companies, mandatory fees included, bookable straight away.
Which vehicles can I hire in Grevenbroich?
Twelve models were found at departure, all with four seats: Active, City and Exclusive ranges in Classic, Extra or First trims, four-wheel-drive City Adventure and Exclusive Adventure versions, and the Family Classic. Depending on the model, two or four people can sleep on board; availability depends on the company and your dates.
Grevenbroich, Düsseldorf or Cologne: where to start?
Grevenbroich suits you if you are heading for the Netherlands, the Lower Rhine or the Erft area, as you avoid crossing the Rhineland metropolis at the start. Düsseldorf and Cologne, both close by, are also departure cities of our partners: compare them in the search to widen your choice of vehicles and dates.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Grevenbroich
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Germany?
For a campervan or motorhome up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers most rental vehicles, a category B licence issued in the European Union is enough. With a licence obtained elsewhere, an international driving permit or a recognised translation is often required. The minimum age and years of driving required are set out in each company's conditions.
Where can I spend the night with a motorhome in North Rhine-Westphalia?
Campsites and Wohnmobilstellplätze, areas reserved for motorhomes, are the safest option; you will find them along the Rhine, in the small towns of the Lower Rhine and in the Münsterland. A single night's rest is often tolerated in a permitted car park, as long as nothing is set up outside the vehicle, but follow local signs.
Do I need a vignette to drive in Germany?
German motorways are free for motorhomes, with no tolls and no motorway vignette. However, Cologne and other towns in the region have a low-emission zone (Umweltzone) reserved for vehicles displaying the green sticker. Vehicles hired in Germany normally carry it: check it at departure and find out about the current rules.
Which airport should I use to reach Grevenbroich?
Düsseldorf Airport is the closest, about 35 km by road; Cologne Bonn Airport is around sixty kilometres away. From either one, expect a regional train journey with a change, or take a taxi. Tell the rental company your arrival time so you can arrange the vehicle handover appointment.
Can I return the vehicle in another city?
Depending on the company, a one-way trip to another departure city, such as Düsseldorf, Cologne or Essen, may be possible. Enter the return city when searching: only compatible offers are shown, with any one-way fee already included in the price. If nothing comes up, plan a loop that returns to Grevenbroich.
When should I book a campervan in Grevenbroich?
Several months ahead for the summer holidays and for late August and early September, when the Caravan Salon, a major international motorhome show, takes place in Düsseldorf. With only two companies departing from Grevenbroich, choice shrinks fast in high season; the rest of the year, a few weeks is often enough.
