Anywhere Campers FlorenceFlorenceView map
Campervan hire in Florence opens the road to the Tuscan hills as soon as you leave the city: the vineyards of Chianti to the south, the wooded valleys of the Mugello and the Casentino to the north and east, the Medici villas towards Prato and Pistoia. Locally, 4 partner companies share the departures, from campervans to family motorhomes: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express, Motorhomes Italy and Rent Easy.
Rent Easy welcomes its customers in Barberino Tavarnelle, in the heart of Chianti, about thirty kilometres south by road; Calenzano, another departure city of our partners, lies 14 km to the north-west. An easy way to start the trip without going near the historic centre, which is closed to traffic.

Just outside Florence, the road climbs to Fiesole, with its Etruscan and Roman remains and its view over the Duomo. It then drops into the Mugello, cradle of the Medici, via Borgo San Lorenzo and Vicchio, before crossing the Consuma pass into the Casentino: Poppi castle, the hermitage of Camaldoli and the sanctuary of La Verna amid the forests. Return via Arezzo and the frescoes of Piero della Francesca.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Florence?
Best time
Spring, from April to June
April to June
highs 19 to 29 °C, lows 8 to 16 °C
April and June are the most pleasant months to set off from Florence: mild weather, long days and, in May, irises in bloom in the garden devoted to them on the hill of San Miniato. May, with 105 mm of rain, is the wettest of the three. By late June, the heat settles over the Arno basin: hit the road early towards the hills.
High season
High summer
July to August
highs 32 °C, lows 19 °C
July and August are the hottest months, with an average of 32 °C in the afternoon and a heavy heat in the city, hemmed in by its hills. The major museums are fully booked: reserve the Uffizi and the Accademia. The Casentino forests and the Mugello uplands then offer cooler nights.
Late season
September to October
highs 22 to 27 °C, lows 12 to 15 °C
September keeps warm afternoons and October remains mild, but these two months alone get more rain than June, July and August combined. The grape harvest livens up Chianti, a stone's throw from the Barberino Tavarnelle depot, and the streets of Florence regain a little space after the summer.
Winter
Florentine winter, from November to March
November to March
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 2 to 7 °C
November is the wettest month of the year in Florence, with 140 mm; winter then stays cool and often grey, with nights close to 2 °C in January. It is the season for visits without queues and for new olive oil in the hillside mills. A well-heated vehicle makes the evenings comfortable.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
ZTL: never without authorisation
The whole historic centre of Florence, inside the boulevards that follow the line of the old city walls, is a limited traffic zone monitored by cameras at every entry gate. Do not enter without authorisation, even for a brief stop or if the sign seems switched off: the fine is sent to the rental company, then passed on to the driver.
Visiting the centre by tram
Leave the vehicle outside the boulevards and reach the centre by tram or bus. Line T1 links the Villa Costanza car park, directly accessible from the A1 motorway near Scandicci, to Santa Maria Novella station. Check in advance that the car park you choose accepts motorhomes and their height.
Pick-up to the south, in Chianti
Rent Easy hands over its vehicles on via Fausto Melotti, in Barberino Tavarnelle, near the toll-free expressway linking Florence and Siena. This departure puts the trip straight into the heart of Chianti, halfway to Siena, without crossing the Florence urban area in a vehicle you are still getting to know.
Arriving via Peretola or Pisa
Amerigo Vespucci airport in Peretola, north-west of Florence, is linked to the centre by tram line T2. Many international flights also land in Pisa, a little over an hour by train or shuttle from Santa Maria Novella station. Give the rental company your landing time to arrange the key handover.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Florence
Where can I pick up a campervan in Florence?
Four partner companies each have a depot: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express and Motorhomes Italy are listed in Florence, Rent Easy in Barberino Tavarnelle, south of the city, in Chianti. For the first three, the exact meeting address and handover time are given in your booking confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Florence?
Our searches in October 2026, covering three rental companies and 96 offers for a fifteen-day hire, found prices from €81 per day, mandatory fees included, for a campervan in winter. For a July departure, expect from €141 per day for a campervan and from €154 for a low-profile motorhome. A search with your dates shows the real prices, bookable straight away.
Can I end the trip somewhere other than Florence?
Several nearby towns are also departure points of our partners: Calenzano, Monsummano Terme, San Gimignano, Siena, Lucca and Imola, on the other side of the Apennines. Depending on the company, a one-way hire may be offered: choose the return city when searching, and compatible offers appear with any fees already included.
Which vehicle should I choose from Florence?
The offers found range from the Compact Plus, with four seats and two berths, handy for a couple on the roads of Chianti, to the four-berth Carado T-447 and the Adria Matrix M670SL, with five seats and five berths for a family. The Group A carries six people but sleeps only four. For the Casentino passes, prefer a compact vehicle.

The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Florence
What licence do I need to drive a hired motorhome in Italy?
For a vehicle of up to 3.5 tonnes, a category B licence is enough, which covers almost all rental motorhomes. A licence obtained outside the European Union may need to be accompanied by an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and years of driving required are set by each rental company and stated in the offer.
Is mileage unlimited?
In our searches in October 2026, 84% of the offers found in Florence included unlimited mileage. The others set a cap, with a surcharge beyond it: check this line before booking, especially for a loop as far as Umbria or a one-way trip to the other side of the Apennines.
What excess should I expect?
The median excess of the offers found in Florence is €1,500: this is the maximum amount that may remain payable by you in the event of damage. Some rental companies offer to reduce it with an insurance option. Between the low walls of Chianti, village lanes and tight car parks, compare these options along with the price.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Florence?
Several campsites are terraced on the hills overlooking the city, notably near Piazzale Michelangelo and in Fiesole, with a bus to the centre. In Chianti and the Mugello, agriturismi that welcome motorhomes let you sleep among the vineyards. Wild camping is banned in Italy, and overnight parking is often restricted by local councils.
When should I book a campervan in Florence?
Book months ahead for a July or August departure. Easter is also in high demand: on Sunday, the exploding cart of the Scoppio del Carro in front of the cathedral draws crowds, as does the calcio storico in June, whose final is played on the 24th for the feast of St John. With only four depots, campervans go quickly; in winter, a few weeks are often enough.
Can I reach Bologna across the Apennines?
Yes, in a little over an hour on the A1 motorway, whose newer Variante di Valico makes the crossing easier. Mountain road lovers will prefer the Futa pass, slower but spectacular. In the cold season, winter tyres or snow chains may be required on these roads: check the vehicle's equipment. Imola, another departure point of our partners, lies on the Emilia side.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Florence
Florence shows two faces to motorhome travellers: a city of art best explored on foot, without the vehicle, and a countryside that begins at the foot of its hills. In about an hour, you can sleep among the vineyards of Chianti, under the fir trees of the Casentino or in the quiet of the Mugello; a little further on, Cortona, Lake Trasimeno and Umbria extend the trip southwards.
The city's four partner companies cover every size, from two-berth vehicles to family low-profile motorhomes, with prices observed from €81 per day in October 2026. Calenzano, Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca and Imola, other departure cities of our partners, make one-way trips possible across Tuscany and as far as Emilia-Romagna. April and June offer the most pleasant climate for combining museum visits and country roads.
