Causeway Campers, a local rental company departing from Dublin
Causeway Campers presents itself as an Irish family business, whose name evokes the Giant's Causeway, on the north coast of Northern Ireland. In Ireland, CoolDrive lists one departure point: Dublin Airport, where vehicles are handed over in the Zone 18 surface car park, between Terminals 1 and 2.
The six models presented all have automatic transmission, a real comfort when driving on the left. There is the Acer van for four, the Belle, Cruz, Auto-Trail F60 and Romeo low-profiles, with four to five berths, and the Luca overcab, which takes six people. Auto-Trail is a British motorhome manufacturer.
A departure from Northern Ireland may exist with this rental company, but it does not appear on this page: check it in the offer. From Dublin, the Wild Atlantic Way can be reached by crossing the island westwards, and the Antrim coast road, once over the border, leads to the Giant's Causeway; in the north, you pay in pounds sterling and speeds are shown in miles.
Our verdict: a small-scale rental company, practical for anyone landing in Dublin who wants an automatic, whatever the size. Its limits: a small fleet, quickly booked up in summer, no prices recorded by CoolDrive so far and options, such as the camping kit or additional insurance, to be checked in the offer details.

Causeway Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Causeway Campers is ideal if…

- You do not feel comfortable with a manual gearbox operated with your left hand
- You are travelling as six and are looking for an automatic overcab
- You prefer a local rental company, able to advise on routes around the island
Causeway Campers is not ideal if…
- You plan to collect the vehicle in Belfast: only Dublin Airport is listed here
- You want to set off from Cork, Shannon or Galway: no depot appears there in our data
- You compare on the basis of recorded prices: we do not have any yet for this rental company
- You are looking for a vehicle for more than six people
- You are planning a July or August departure and have not booked anything yet
Our tips for booking with Causeway Campers
-
Find Zone 18 in Dublin
At Dublin Airport, Causeway Campers hands over vehicles in the Zone 18 surface car park, between Terminals 1 and 2. Note the meeting time given in your confirmation and keep the depot's number on your phone to let them know if your flight is delayed.
-
Check the cover on both sides of the border
Between Dublin and Belfast, the border is barely noticeable, but you change country, currency and speed unit. Check in the offer that the insurance and assistance cover both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, especially if your route links the Wild Atlantic Way to the Antrim coast.
-
Choose a size suited to country roads
Away from the main roads, Irish roads are often narrow, lined with low stone walls or hedges. The Acer van and the four-berth low-profiles get through more easily than the Luca overcab. The automatic gearbox helps you keep both hands on the wheel on tight bends.
-
Check the vehicle before you leave
During the presentation, walk around the motorhome with the agent, photograph any existing scratches and check the inventory: crockery, bedding, electric cable, outdoor furniture. Ask to see the heating, water and waste emptying working: in Ireland, even in summer, nights can be cool.
-
Book campsites and the vehicle early for summer
The fleet presented has six models, and vehicles go quickly in high season. If you are travelling in July or August, book several months in advance, then also book your campsites at very popular spots, such as the Dingle Peninsula or Connemara.
Your questions about Causeway Campers
Where can you collect a Causeway Campers motorhome in Ireland?
Only one departure is listed. In Dublin, the handover takes place at the airport, in the Zone 18 surface car park, between Terminals 1 and 2: handy when you get off the plane. A departure from Northern Ireland may exist with Causeway Campers; it does not appear on this page, so check it in the offer. The meeting time appears in your confirmation.
Which Causeway Campers model should you choose?
For two or four, the Acer van remains the most manoeuvrable on small roads. The Belle, Auto-Trail F60 and Romeo low-profiles offer four berths and more space on board, while the Cruz has five. For six travellers, the Luca overcab is the only option. All these models have automatic transmission.
Can you travel between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland?
There are no border checks between the two, and a route linking Dublin, Belfast and the Atlantic coast is common. Just remember that in the north, speed limits are in miles and purchases in pounds sterling. Check in the offer that the insurance covers both territories before you leave.
Is it difficult to drive a motorhome in Ireland?
Driving is on the left, and secondary roads are sometimes very narrow. The automatic gearbox of every Causeway Campers model makes the first kilometres easier. Take time to get used to it on the main roads, drive slowly through villages and opt for a compact vehicle if your itinerary follows the small roads of the west.
How much does a Causeway Campers hire cost in Ireland?
No Causeway Campers prices have been recorded by CoolDrive yet. The rate varies according to the model, the duration, the season and the kilometres included, and options such as the camping kit may be added. To find out the exact amount, mandatory fees included, run a search from Dublin with your travel dates.
They rented with Causeway Campers
Hello, very bad experience with the rental made with Causeway Campers Ltd: the rented camper was damaged from a previous accident with many parts taped up, including the rear bumper, which came loose during the jolts in the middle of the trip that I had to reattach after notifying them with makeshift means, causing stress on the road in the second part of the trip (photo available if needed); upon return, an effect that I am sure is a residual effect from the previous accident became apparent; upon return, I was charged £1000 for this damage on a previously damaged part; this is theft; no response to my requests; I do not recommend this rental company.

We needed information to book a van for a stay in Ireland. We received precise answers to our questions, and we interacted with a welcoming and very competent person. We hope that the rest of our reservation will be just as satisfactory.

FAQ — Causeway Campers motorhome hire in Ireland
Why book Causeway Campers with CoolDrive?
CoolDrive shows Causeway Campers, McRent, Anywhere Campers and other rental companies present in Ireland in the same results, for your dates and departure city. The price you see already includes mandatory fees. Our experts help you choose the model and check the options before confirming.
Is mileage unlimited with Causeway Campers?
We do not yet have any records to say. The rental company states that extra kilometres may be charged: check in the offer how many are included and at what rate the excess distance is charged. A full tour of the island, via the Wild Atlantic Way and the north coast, easily exceeds two thousand kilometres.
Which extras can you add to the hire?
Causeway Campers advertises extras such as a bike rack, a barbecue or a GPS. Depending on the vehicle, an outdoor table and chairs are often supplied. The camping kit and some insurance cover may be charged separately. Add what you need when booking to find out the total price.
What licence and age do you need to hire from Causeway Campers?
For a vehicle of 3.5 tonnes maximum, a category B licence is enough. The minimum age, the required years of holding a licence and any young driver fees appear in each offer. If your licence was not issued in the European Union or the United Kingdom, check whether you need an international driving permit.
Can you return the motorhome in another city?
A return somewhere other than Dublin Airport, Belfast for example, would let you cross the island without retracing your steps, but it is only possible if the offer provides for it, with possible fees. Test it in the search by entering Dublin as the departure and the return city you want: only compatible offers are displayed.
Which season should you choose for a trip to Ireland?
The heart of the season runs from May to September: it stays light late in the evening and almost all campsites have reopened. July and August draw the biggest crowds, while May, June and September remain quieter. In any season, rain can make an appearance: bring warm and waterproof clothing, even in summer.
