Hiring a campervan in Modena means setting off from the capital of the “Land of Motors”, home of Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini.

The McRent and Rent Easy depots are located in the north of the city, away from the narrow streets of the historic centre.

Road trip ideas
Road trips from Modène
1 The Land of Motors and the Lambrusco hills
- Modena
- Maranello
- Castelvetro di Modena
- Vignola
- Sant'Agata Bolognese
- Borgo Panigale
- Modena
In town, the Enzo Ferrari Museum occupies the founder's birthplace; in Maranello, the Ferrari Museum displays Formula 1 cars a stone's throw from the factory and the Fiorano track. You then cross the Lambrusco Grasparossa hills at Castelvetro and the orchards of Vignola, before the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese and the Ducati Museum in Borgo Panigale. A short loop, ideal for getting used to the vehicle.

2 Parma, the Cisa Pass and Lucca
- Modena
- Reggio Emilia
- Parma
- Langhirano
- Cisa Pass
- Pontremoli
- La Spezia
- Lucca
- Abetone
- Modena
Along the Via Emilia, Reggio Emilia comes before Parma, its baptistery and its hams, which you follow to Torrechiara Castle in Langhirano. The Cisa Pass crosses the Apennines to Pontremoli and Lunigiana, then to the Gulf of La Spezia, from where trains serve the villages of the Cinque Terre. Lucca and its ramparts open the way back over the Abetone Pass and the Modena Apennines, with their tight hairpin bends.
- Distance
- about 500 km

- Camper van or low-profile motorhome
3 Sabbioneta and the west shore of Lake Garda
- Modena
- Sabbioneta
- Desenzano del Garda
- Salò
- Limone sul Garda
- Riva del Garda
- Malcesine
- Bardolino
- Modena
To the north, the Po plain leads to Sabbioneta, an ideal Renaissance town listed together with Mantua, then to Lake Garda via Desenzano and Salò. The Gardesana Occidentale road runs past Limone sul Garda and its lemon groves to Riva del Garda; you head back down via Malcesine, with its Monte Baldo cable car, and Bardolino, before returning on the Brenner motorway. The west-shore tunnels are narrow: a campervan or low-profile motorhome gets through more comfortably.

Weather and seasons
When to go modena-it?
April to June
April to June
highs 19 to 30 °C, lows 8 to 18 °C
Spring turns the Lambrusco hills green; the cherry trees of Vignola blossom in April and their fruit is picked in June. May is the wettest month of the year in Modena: keep museums and acetaia visits for grey days, and make the most of June, already warm, for the Apennine passes.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 32 °C, lows 20 °C
With average highs of 32 °C, the Emilian plain becomes stifling: it is the time to head up into the Modena Apennines, towards Abetone and Monte Cimone, where it is cooler. Around 15 August, many shops close and the shores of Lake Garda overflow: book your vehicle and campsites early.
Best time
September and October
September to October
highs 21 to 26 °C, lows 11 to 16 °C
The best time to set off from Modena: the heat has eased, the Lambrusco grape harvest takes place in September and soft light falls on the hills. Autumn food festivals and Apennine roads still free of snow make it easy to combine vineyards, castles and museums without the summer crowds.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 8 to 15 °C, lows 0 to 6 °C
Winter in Modena is cold and damp, with frosts in January. It is nevertheless a good season for the museums of the Land of Motors, which are quiet, and for Emilian cooking, from zampone to tortellini. The Abetone and Cimone ski resorts attract skiers: check that campsites are open.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
A “Bologna North” depot in Modena
The McRent depot is called “Bologna North”, but it is indeed in Modena, on Via Canaletto Nord, at Camperis. Rent Easy hands over its vehicles on Via Giovanni Dalton, at Caravan Camper Service, also in the north of the city, and Anywhere Campers gives its meeting point when you book. Rely on the address in your confirmation.
ZTL around Piazza Grande
Modena's historic centre, around Piazza Grande and the cathedral listed by UNESCO, is a limited traffic zone monitored by cameras: every unauthorised entry is fined, sometimes weeks later through the rental company. Park outside the boulevards that ring the old town and walk in.
A1 and A22 tolls
Modena lies where the A1, the Motorway of the Sun between Milan and Naples, meets the A22 Brenner motorway, which starts at Campogalliano towards Verona, Lake Garda and Austria. Both are toll roads: a two-axle motorhome usually falls into class B, and you pay by card in the “Carte” lanes, never in the yellow Telepass lanes.
Fog and winter equipment
From November to February, fog in the Po plain can sharply reduce visibility on the A1 and A22: drive in daylight and keep your distance. To climb towards Abetone or the Cisa Pass, winter tyres or snow chains are required on many Apennine roads from mid-November to mid-April.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip modena-it
Where can I pick up a campervan in Modena?
Three partner companies each have a depot in Modena: McRent at Camperis, on Via Canaletto Nord, Rent Easy at Caravan Camper Service, on Via Giovanni Dalton, and Anywhere Campers, which gives the handover point when you book. Other departures are available in Bologna and in Calderara di Reno, near Bologna airport, if the dates do not suit you.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Modena?
Our searches in October 2026, covering 104 offers from three rental companies for 15-day rentals, found prices from €79 per day, mandatory fees included. A campervan starts from €79 per day for an October departure, against €129 in July; a low-profile motorhome from €102 in January. Run a search with your dates to get the real prices.
Can I visit the Ferrari museums by motorhome?
Yes: Maranello is about twenty minutes' drive south of Modena, and the Enzo Ferrari Museum is near Modena railway station, outside the limited traffic zone. The two Ferrari museums are linked by a shuttle and sold as a combined ticket: you can leave the motorhome parked for the day and go from one to the other.
Which vehicle should I choose when leaving from Modena?
The models observed range from campervans with two berths, such as the City Extra or the Compact Plus, to family motorhomes such as the Adria Matrix, with 5 seats and 5 berths. In between, the Carado T-447 or the Comfort Plus offer 4 berths. For two people, a small model is enough and is easier to park near the art cities.
Can I return the motorhome in another city?
Bologna, Calderara di Reno and Imola are other departure cities of our partners, less than an hour's drive away. A return to one of them is possible when the rental company offers it, with a one-way fee: enter your return city when searching to see only compatible offers, fees included.

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 Modena
Do I need a special licence to drive a motorhome in Italy?
Not for most of the vehicles offered: campervans, camper vans and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B licence. Holders of a licence issued outside the European Union often have to show an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and years of driving required vary by rental company and are shown in the offer.
Is mileage unlimited?
Not always: 73% of the offers observed in our October 2026 searches in Modena included unlimited mileage. The others include a mileage allowance, with a surcharge beyond it. For a loop through the Apennines and Tuscany, or a return trip to Lake Garda, check this point in the conditions of each offer.
What excess should I expect?
The median excess of the offers observed in Modena is €1,700, the amount you remain liable for in the event of damage. Additional cover can often reduce it: compare its price in the offer conditions, and bring a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit.
How do I get to Modena from the airport?
The nearest airport is Bologna Guglielmo Marconi. The Marconi Express monorail runs to Bologna Central station, from where regional trains reach Modena in about half an hour. With luggage, a direct taxi to the depots in the north of Modena is simpler. Let the rental company know your arrival time.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Modena?
Aree di sosta, areas reserved for motorhomes and often equipped with water and waste disposal, are plentiful in Emilia-Romagna, including near the towns of the Land of Motors. Some agritourism farms in the hills also welcome motorhomes. Elsewhere, overnight parking depends on each municipality's rules: check before settling in.
Can I drive into Austria via the Brenner?
The A22 links Modena directly to the Brenner Pass. First check that Austria is among the countries allowed in the offer conditions. Once there, a vignette is compulsory on motorways for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, and the Austrian side of the Brenner motorway is subject to a special toll, paid on top.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Modena
Modena combines Italian car culture, world-famous cuisine and very varied roads in a single departure point. In one day, you go from the Ferrari and Lamborghini museums to the Lambrusco hills; in a few days, you cross the Apennines to Lunigiana, the Ligurian coast and Lucca, or reach Lake Garda via the Brenner motorway.
Three partner companies, Anywhere Campers, McRent and Rent Easy, offer campervans, camper vans and family motorhomes, with prices observed from €79 per day in October 2026. Smaller than Bologna, 37 km away, the city lets you hit the road without crossing a large urban area, and Bologna can also serve for a one-way return. September and October, mild and bright, are the ideal months to set off.
