Bunk Campers Airport7B Advance Business Park, Old Airport Road, Cloughran
Bunk Campers, a rental company born on the island of Ireland
Bunk Campers is a campervan and motorhome rental specialist based on the island of Ireland, which also advertises departures in Great Britain. In the Republic of Ireland, the listed depot is in Cloughran, on Old Airport Road, right next to Dublin Airport. Bunk Campers can also send its vehicles out from Northern Ireland; this departure point does not appear on this page and should be checked in the offer.
The range runs from the Nomad pop-top van and the Aero, Roadie and Vista vans to the Europa and Aero Plus low-profiles, up to the Horizon and Grande overcabs, the latter with six seats and six berths. A good number of the models come with either a manual or an automatic gearbox. The rental company advertises well-maintained vehicles, clear pricing, several levels of insurance and extras such as bikes, picnic tables and barbecues.
Our October 2026 observations do not yet include Bunk Campers: for a mileage allowance or unlimited mileage, the excess amount and the security deposit, rely on the offer displayed for your dates.
Our view: a local specialist, with a wide choice of sizes and transmissions and a well-placed base just outside Dublin Airport, from which you can reach both the Atlantic coast and the Causeway Coast. Things to watch: returning to another city, to check offer by offer, and the inventory, to check carefully at departure.

Bunk Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Bunk Campers is ideal if…
- Your flight lands in Dublin and you would rather avoid the city centre to pick up the vehicle
- There are six of you and the Grande overcab sleeps everyone
- You only drive automatics
- You are travelling as a couple and a small van slips more easily along country roads
Bunk Campers is not ideal if…
- You want to start in Belfast for the Causeway Coast: this page only lists Dublin
- You are heading for Kerry or Connemara and want to set off from the west of the island
- You want an observed reference price before searching
- Your trip depends on a one-way hire that the offer does not include
- Driving on the left on narrow roads really worries you
- You plan to cross to Great Britain by ferry without the rental company's agreement
Our tips for booking with Bunk Campers
-
Plan your route from Dublin
From Dublin, the Old Airport Road depot opens up the road to the Wicklow Mountains, Kilkenny and then the south-west. For the Antrim coast, the Giant's Causeway and Donegal, the M1 motorway heads north as soon as you leave the depot. If you are mainly aiming for the Atlantic coast, allow a day's drive to get there.
-
Choose a size suited to small roads
Away from the main routes, the road quickly narrows between two hedges or two dry-stone walls. For two, a van such as the Aero or the Nomad gets through more easily; the Grande overcab is mainly worthwhile for families. Your first kilometres on the left are best driven on a quiet road.
-
Check the inventory before setting off
With the agent, tick off the equipment list: crockery, cables, levelling chocks, booked extras. Photograph the bodywork and note down the assistance number. Something missing spotted at the depot is sorted in a few minutes; discovered in the evening in Connemara, it spoils a stop.
-
Remember the two currencies and the Dublin toll
The Republic of Ireland uses the euro and measures distances in kilometres; Northern Ireland uses the pound sterling and miles. Around Dublin, the M50 motorway has a barrier-free toll to be paid online by the following evening: ask the rental company how it handles it.
-
Book campsites in summer
Campsites are fewer than in continental Europe and some close out of season. In July and August, book those along the Wild Atlantic Way, in Kerry and on the Causeway Coast. Elsewhere, respect the no-overnight-parking signs, which are common in coastal car parks.
Your questions about Bunk Campers
How much does a Bunk Campers hire cost in Ireland?
Our October 2026 observations contain no Bunk Campers rates in Ireland, and we prefer not to put forward a figure. The price varies with the model, transmission, season and depot. Run a search with your dates: CoolDrive shows the total amount, mandatory fees included, with the mileage and excess of each offer.
Where is the Bunk Campers depot in Ireland?
It is in Cloughran, at 7B Advance Business Park, on Old Airport Road, close to Dublin Airport. It is the only address listed in Ireland: a departure from Northern Ireland may exist with Bunk Campers, but it remains to be checked in the offer. Handover and return times are shown in each offer.
Which Bunk Campers model should I choose?
For two, the Aero and Roadie vans or the Nomad pop-top remain easy to handle. For four, the Vista, the Europa or the Vista Plus overcab offer four berths. For five, look at the Horizon or the Mystery 5; for six, only the Grande will do. Check the transmission: some models are only available as manuals.
Can I drive from the Republic of Ireland into Northern Ireland?
The border between the two is open, with no checks, and many itineraries cross it several times. The rental company nevertheless sets the areas covered by the insurance: check them in the offer conditions. For a ferry crossing to Scotland or Wales, the rental company's agreement is normally required.
What motorhome itinerary around Ireland?
From Dublin, a two- to three-week loop can follow the Wild Atlantic Way: the Kerry and Dingle peninsulas, the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher, Galway and Connemara, then Donegal. Heading north, you can also follow the Antrim coastline to the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway, then head on to Derry and Donegal.

FAQ — Bunk Campers motorhome hire in Ireland
Why book Bunk Campers with CoolDrive?
CoolDrive places Bunk Campers offers alongside those of McRent and Anywhere Campers, with prices that already include mandatory fees. You see the departure depot, transmission, mileage and conditions before paying. Our team helps you choose the right size, transmission and extras, then remains available during your trip.
Are Bunk Campers motorhomes automatic?
Many are: the Aero, Aero Plus, Vista, Vista Plus, Europa and Grande are available in an automatic version, as are the Horizon and the Mystery 5. The Nomad, the Ranger, the Roadie and the Saver models are offered as manuals. For anyone new to driving on the left, an automatic avoids changing gear with your left hand.
Can I return the vehicle to another city?
A return anywhere other than Dublin is not guaranteed, and Bunk Campers' Irish page has only one depot. Enter the return city you want when searching: the search engine then only shows compatible offers, fees included. If none appears, plan a loop; the island lends itself well to a circuit from Cloughran.
What excess and security deposit does Bunk Campers charge?
We have no observed excess for Bunk Campers in Ireland. The amount, the security deposit and the expected payment method are specified in each offer. The rental company advertises several levels of insurance to reduce the amount you would have to pay: compare them before paying, and bring a credit card in the main driver's name.
What is the best season for Ireland by motorhome?
Between May and September, it stays light late into the evening and most campsites welcome travellers. June often offers a good balance between daylight and crowds. July and August are the busiest months on the west coast. The weather changes quickly all year round: pack rainwear and keep your stops flexible.
Do I need a special licence to drive a Bunk Campers vehicle?
For most campervans and motorhomes, a category B licence is enough as long as the gross weight stays under 3.5 t; this figure appears in the vehicle description. Each offer also states the required age and the number of years of licence expected. Keep your licence on you: it is required at the key handover in Cloughran.
Bunk Campers in Ireland, to compare on CoolDrive Nomad
