Anywhere Campers RegensburgRegensburgView map
Hiring a campervan in Regensburg means setting off from a UNESCO-listed medieval city on the Danube, in the heart of eastern Bavaria. Upstream lie the Weltenburg gorge and the Altmühl valley; downstream, Straubing and Passau, on the Austrian border; to the north-east, the Bavarian Forest and then Bohemia. Munich, the Bavarian Alps and the Romantic Road are a few hours' drive away. Two partner companies, McRent and Anywhere Campers, each have a depot here.
Campervans, converted vans, low-profile motorhomes and large A-class models: every size sets off from a city at the junction of the A3 and A93 motorways.

1 The Danube, from Weltenburg to Passau
- Regensburg
- Kelheim
- Weltenburg
- Walhalla
- Straubing
- Passau
- Regensburg
About thirty kilometres upstream, Kelheim and its Befreiungshalle overlook the confluence of the Altmühl; from there a boat sails up the Danube gorge to Weltenburg Abbey, which claims the oldest monastery brewery in the world. Downstream, the neoclassical Walhalla temple towers above the river, before Straubing and Passau, the city of three rivers, where the Inn and the Ilz join the Danube.

- Regensburg
- Cham
- Bad Kötzting
- Großer Arber
- Bayerisch Eisenstein
- Zwiesel
- Neuschönau
- Grafenau
- Deggendorf
- Regensburg
To the north-east, the Regen valley leads to Cham and then to the slopes of the Großer Arber, the highest peak of the Bavarian Forest, and its small glacial lake. At Bayerisch Eisenstein, the railway station is cut in two by the Czech border. Zwiesel and its glassworks come before the national park, the oldest in Germany, and its treetop walk near Neuschönau. Winding roads: a campervan slips through more easily.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Regensburg?
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 Regensburg: long mild days, boats running to Weltenburg and the Walhalla, clear trails in the Bavarian Forest. May is the wettest month of the year, with showers rather than long spells of rain; in September, the beech woods of the national park begin to turn and the nights grow cooler.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 25 °C, lows 15 °C
High summer, warm without excess, fills the riverside campsites along the Danube, the cycle route that follows the river and the lakes of the Upper Palatinate, north of the city. Afternoon thunderstorms are frequent: keep your stages flexible. Mild evenings are perfect for the beer gardens of the old town and the riverbanks.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 15 °C, lows 1 to 7 °C
Transition seasons, cool but often bright: the old town can be visited without crowds and the motorhome areas are quiet again. Some seasonal campsites in the Bavarian Forest only open from Easter, and March nights hover around freezing: a heated vehicle is a real asset.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 4 to 7 °C, lows -3 to -1 °C
Winter is cold and often grey, with frequent frosts and snow in the Bavarian Forest, where you can ski on the Großer Arber. In December, Regensburg's Christmas markets, including the one at Thurn und Taxis Castle, liven up the city. In Germany, winter tyres are compulsory in snow or icy conditions: check the equipment with the rental company.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Arriving by train or plane
Regensburg has no commercial airport: the nearest are Munich and Nuremberg, about an hour and a half to two hours away by train. The main station is served by ICE trains linking Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Passau and Vienna; from there, a taxi takes you and your luggage to the depot.
The old town on foot
The historic centre, a World Heritage Site, is largely pedestrianised and its medieval lanes are too narrow for a motorhome. Park on the outskirts or in a motorhome area, then walk or take the bus to St. Peter's Cathedral and the 12th-century Stone Bridge, closed to cars, with its old sausage kitchen by the water.
Free motorways, vignettes next door
German motorways, including the A3 towards Nuremberg and Passau and the A93 towards Munich, are free for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes. Across the border, Austria requires a vignette and the Czech Republic an electronic vignette on their motorways: buy them online before leaving Passau or heading for Bohemia.
Low-emission zones
As far as we know, Regensburg has no low-emission zone, but Munich and other German cities enforce one (Umweltzone), open only to vehicles displaying the green sticker. Rental vehicles registered in Germany usually have it; check the rules in force before entering a city centre.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Regensburg
Where can I pick up a campervan in Regensburg?
Two partner companies have a depot in Regensburg: McRent, which hands over its motorhomes at Seltenhofer, Am Kreuzhof 3 (93055 Regensburg), and Anywhere Campers, whose exact meeting address is given in the booking confirmation. Tell the rental company your arrival time to arrange the vehicle handover, which includes the condition check and an introduction to the equipment.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Regensburg?
Our searches in October 2026, covering 92 offers from two rental companies for 15-day hires, found prices from €80 per day, mandatory fees included, for a campervan in winter or autumn. For a July departure, expect rather from €114 for a campervan and from €141 for a low-profile motorhome. Run a search with your dates to see the real prices.
Which vehicles can I hire in Regensburg?
The offers observed range from campervans to large motorhomes. They include the Adria Matrix, with 5 seats and 5 berths, in manual or automatic, the Carado T-447 with 4 berths, and models from the Compact, Comfort and Family ranges, with 2 to 5 berths, for couples and families alike. Availability depends on the dates you choose.
Can I return the campervan in Munich or Nuremberg?
Munich and Nuremberg, about a hundred kilometres away, are also departure cities of our partners, as is Fraunberg, near Munich airport. A one-way trip saves you retracing your route after the Romantic Road or the Alps. Fees may apply depending on the company: they are included in the displayed price as soon as you enter the return city.
Can I drive to the Czech Republic or Austria?
The Czech border is about an hour's drive away via Cham and Furth im Wald, and Passau borders Austria: Pilsen, South Bohemia or Linz are therefore easy to reach. The countries allowed vary from one rental company to another, sometimes for an extra fee: check those covered by the insurance in the offer conditions before crossing a border.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Regensburg
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Germany?
A European category B licence covers vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, which means campervans, converted vans and most low-profile motorhomes. Some large motorhomes, over-cab or A-class, may exceed this weight and require a C1 licence: check the maximum authorised weight in the vehicle details. Outside the European Union, bring an international driving permit; minimum age and years of driving are set by each company.
What are the speed limits for a motorhome in Germany?
Up to 3.5 tonnes, a motorhome follows the rules for cars: 50 km/h in towns, 100 km/h on country roads and no general limit on motorways, where 130 km/h is the recommended speed. Above 3.5 tonnes, the limit drops to 80 km/h on country roads and 100 km/h on motorways. Many sections of the A3 and A93 are also restricted by signs.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Bavaria?
Motorhome areas (Stellplätze), often run by the local council and inexpensive, line the Danube valley and the Bavarian Forest, alongside many campsites. One night in a car park to rest before driving on is generally tolerated, unless a sign says otherwise, without setting anything up outside. In the Bavarian Forest National Park, sleeping outside designated places is forbidden.
Is mileage unlimited when leaving from Regensburg?
Yes: all the offers found in our October 2026 searches in Regensburg included unlimited mileage, a real plus for linking the Danube, the Bavarian Forest and the Alps without counting. Conditions may still change from one company or hire length to another: check them on the chosen offer before booking.
What excess should I expect?
The median excess of the offers observed in Regensburg is €2,000. It is the amount you remain liable for in the event of damage; it is usually held as a deposit on a credit card when you collect the vehicle. Cover options can reduce it: compare their cost and exclusions in the conditions of each offer.
When should I book a campervan in Regensburg?
The Bavarian summer holidays, among the latest in Germany, run from early August to mid-September: together with July, this is the busiest period. Book several months ahead for those weeks, especially for a campervan. For May, June or late September, a few weeks are often enough, and winter leaves the widest choice of vehicles.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Regensburg
Regensburg brings together in one city what makes eastern Bavaria so appealing: an almost intact medieval old town, the navigable Danube and, less than two hours away, very different landscapes. You can sail up the river towards the Weltenburg gorge or follow it down to Passau, get lost in the forests and glassmaking villages of the Bavarian Forest, cross into Bohemia or head for the Alps and the Romantic Road.
Two partner companies, McRent and Anywhere Campers, offer campervans as well as large motorhomes, with prices observed from €80 per day in October 2026 and unlimited mileage in every offer seen. Munich and Nuremberg, other departure cities of our partners, open the way to one-way trips, and the climate suits travelling from May to September.
