McRent Warendorf c/o SomaRent GmbH & Co. KG32, Am Holzbach, Warendorf 48231View map
Hiring a motorhome in Warendorf opens up the Münsterland, a countryside of hedgerows, brick farmhouses and castles surrounded by water in north-western Germany. Nicknamed the city of the horse, this small town on the river Ems is home to the North Rhine-Westphalia state stud and the German Olympic equestrian committee. Our partner company, McRent, offers camper vans and motorhomes sleeping two to six people.
Münster is half an hour's drive away, the Teutoburg Forest lies to the north and the Sauerland to the south: stages stay short, on quiet roads.

To the west, Telgte and its pilgrimage shrine lead to Münster, the arcades of the Prinzipalmarkt and the Hall of Peace of Westphalia in the town hall. Then come the castles surrounded by water: Hülshoff in Havixbeck, birthplace of the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, Vischering in Lüdinghausen and Nordkirchen, nicknamed the Westphalian Versailles. The wooded Baumberge hills around Nottuln make for a quiet stop.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Warendorf?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 23 °C, lows 9 to 13 °C
The best time to explore the Münsterland: long, mild days, green countryside and quiet cycle paths. In September, the Warendorf state stud presents its stallions at the famous Hengstparaden, which draw many visitors: book your pitch early on those weekends.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 24 °C, lows 14 °C
The warmest months coincide with the German school holidays: the motorhome areas around the Sauerland lakes and the Edersee fill up quickly. Summer showers remain frequent in Westphalia, but the moderate temperatures make cycling stages pleasant. In mid-August, the Feast of the Assumption brings Warendorf's old town to life.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 10 to 15 °C, lows 2 to 9 °C
Cool, changeable transition seasons, when a heated vehicle is a must for the nights. April brings blossoming orchards and the start of the Münsterland asparagus season; October, wetter, colours the Teutoburg and Sauerland forests and empties the campsites.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 5 to 9 °C, lows 1 to 4 °C
The Westphalian winter is grey, damp and short on sunshine, but rarely very cold. It is Christmas market season, including those of Münster, spread across several squares of the old town. Choose a campsite open all year and check frost protection before heading to the snowy heights of the Sauerland.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Arriving by train or plane
Warendorf has a station on the regional line between Münster and Bielefeld, handy for reaching the McRent depot by taxi. The nearest airport is Münster Osnabrück, in Greven, about 50 km by road; Dortmund and Paderborn Lippstadt airports are a little further. Let the rental company know your arrival time.
The B64 rather than the motorway
Warendorf has no motorway connection: the B64 federal road links it to Münster and the A1 to the west, and to Rheda-Wiedenbrück and the A2 to the east. These country roads pass through villages where the speed limit often drops: allow plenty of time for your first stages.
Parking near the old town
Warendorf's historic centre, with its gabled houses and lanes around the market square, is not suited to driving a motorhome. Park on the outskirts and finish on foot; in Münster, park-and-ride car parks avoid the narrow central streets, which are very busy with cyclists.
The Münsterland by bike
The region is one of the most bike-friendly in Germany: the Ems cycle route runs through Warendorf, and hundreds of kilometres of small signposted lanes link farms, villages and castles. Ask the rental company whether a bike rack can be fitted to your vehicle, or hire bikes locally at each stage.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Warendorf
Where can I pick up a campervan in Warendorf?
Our partner company in Warendorf is McRent, whose depot is located at 32 Am Holzbach, at the premises of SomaRent. It is the only pick-up point in town. The address and the vehicle handover slot are shown in your booking confirmation: let the depot know if you are running late.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Warendorf?
The price varies a lot with the season, the length of hire and the size of the vehicle, from a compact camper van to a family model for six. Run a search with your dates: you will get the real prices of the vehicles available in Warendorf, mandatory fees included, ready to book straight away.
Which vehicles does McRent offer in Warendorf?

Compact Plus and Comfort Standard have four seats for two berths; Compact Luxury, Comfort Plus, Urban Luxury, Family Standard and the Premium line in Standard or Luxury versions have four seats and four berths; Family Plus and Family Luxury five, and Premium Plus six.
Is it better to start from Warendorf or from Münster?
Münster, also a departure city of our partners, is closer to the airport and the main motorways. Warendorf suits you better if you are heading for the Teutoburg Forest or want to avoid city traffic on your first day. Compare both cities in the search, as well as Bad Essen or Nottuln.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Warendorf
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Germany?
A European category B licence is enough for camper vans and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers most rental vehicles. A licence issued outside the European Union may require an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and years of driving required are shown in the conditions of each offer.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in the Münsterland?
Motorhome areas, called Wohnmobilstellplätze, are plentiful in the towns and villages of the region, often close to the centres and cycle paths. Overnight parking is banned in nature reserves, such as the Ems floodplain meadows, and elsewhere the rules vary from one municipality to another: follow the signs.
Are German motorways tolled for motorhomes?
No, German motorways remain free for leisure motorhomes, with no vignette. However, several cities in the Ruhr and the Rhineland have low-emission zones that require a green sticker; it is normally already on rental vehicles registered in Germany. Check it at departure if you plan to visit Dortmund or Essen.
Can I drive to the Netherlands with a campervan hired in Warendorf?
The Dutch border is about an hour and a half's drive away, towards Enschede or the Twente region. Rental companies generally allow neighbouring countries, sometimes under conditions: check the countries covered by the insurance in the offer conditions before planning a loop through Overijssel or Gelderland.
When should I book a campervan from Warendorf?
With only one depot in town, the choice of vehicles goes fast in July and August: book several months ahead for the summer, especially for family models. In May, June and September, a few weeks are often enough, except over the Ascension and Whitsun weekends.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Warendorf
Warendorf is a peaceful starting point in the heart of the Münsterland, far from big-city traffic jams. Its old town, its stud farms and the banks of the Ems set the tone for a slow journey, alternating short stages, castle visits and bike rides. Within a few hours you also reach hillier landscapes: the ridges of the Teutoburg Forest, the Wiehen Hills or the lakes and forests of the Sauerland.
McRent, our partner company on site, offers a complete range, from a camper van for two to a family motorhome for six. Münster, Bad Essen, Nottuln and Korbach, other departure cities of our partners, widen the choice and open the way to one-way trips. And from May to September, the mild Westphalian climate is ideal for a motorhome trip.
