Monza CamperLocation Details on Blurent DocumentationView map
Hiring a campervan in Monza opens the road to north-eastern Lombardy without crossing Milan: the Valassina expressway runs to Lecco and the eastern branch of Lake Como, the A4 motorway to Bergamo, the Franciacorta vineyards and Lake Iseo, while the Valtellina climbs all the way to the Stelvio Pass. 2 partner companies and 2 depots, Blurent and Rent Easy, offer motorhomes sleeping two to five, for couples as well as families.
Before hitting the road, the town deserves a stop for its Villa Reale and the circuit of the Italian Grand Prix.

- Lecco
- Varenna
- Bellagio
- Colico
- Sondrio
- Tirano
- Bormio
- Stelvio Pass
- Monza
The Valassina takes you to Lecco in under an hour, at the foot of the Resegone, then follows the east shore of the lake to Varenna: leave the vehicle there and cross by boat to Bellagio. Beyond Colico, the Valtellina lines up its terraced vineyards around Sondrio, then Tirano and its sanctuary, Bormio and its thermal baths, before the hairpins of the Stelvio, the highest road pass in Italy.

To the east, Bergamo is best explored on foot: park in the lower town and ride the funicular up to the Città Alta and its Venetian walls. The wineries of Franciacorta, known for their sparkling wines, come before Lake Iseo, where the boat from Sulzano serves Monte Isola, closed to visitors' cars. Lovere then opens the Val Camonica and its rock carvings at Capo di Ponte, before the return via Brescia.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Monza?
Best time
April to June, September and October
April to June, September to October
highs 18 to 27 °C, lows 8 to 18 °C
The best time to set off from Monza: gardens in bloom on the shores of Lake Como and Lake Iseo in spring, grape harvests in Franciacorta and on the Valtellina terraces in autumn. May is nevertheless the wettest month of the year in Monza, and September and October remain rainy too: keep a few spare days in your plans.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 29 °C, lows 19 °C
Muggy heat in the Brianza and the plain, with frequent late-afternoon storms: this is the time to head for higher ground, towards Bormio, the Stelvio or the Dolomite passes, where nights stay cool. Lake shores are packed, especially around Ferragosto, on 15 August: book your vehicle and pitches well in advance.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 8 to 14 °C, lows 0 to 5 °C
A cool and often foggy winter in the plain, with nights close to freezing in January. A heated motorhome still lets you reach Bormio and Livigno, which hosted the ski events of the 2026 Winter Olympics, or visit Bergamo and the lakesides, very quiet at that time of year.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Arriving by train or by plane
Monza has its own railway station, served by frequent trains from Milano Centrale and Porta Garibaldi. Linate is the closest airport; Bergamo Orio al Serio and Malpensa are further away but linked to Milan by train or bus. Plan a taxi from the station to the pick-up point and give the rental company your arrival time.
Milan's Area B and Lombardy's restrictions
Monza borders Milan, whose Area B starts almost at the city limits: its cameras control access for vehicles considered too polluting, with rules that become stricter over the years. To reach Pavia, Turin or Genoa, use the ring motorways instead. Lombardy also restricts older diesel vehicles, especially in winter: check the vehicle's Euro standard with the rental company.
Monza's centre on foot
The historic centre, around the Duomo, is a camera-controlled limited traffic zone: do not drive in with the motorhome. Park on the outskirts, then walk to the Duomo, which keeps the Iron Crown of the Lombard kings, and to the Villa Reale. The park that extends it, one of the largest walled parks in Europe, can be explored on foot or by bike.
The Stelvio, open in the warm season
The Stelvio Pass, above Bormio, is only open in the warm season, usually from late spring to autumn depending on snow: check the road status before setting off. On certain summer days it is reserved for cyclists. On its tight hairpins a campervan is far easier to handle than a large motorhome; on the way down, use engine braking.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Monza
Where can I pick up a campervan in Monza?
Two partner companies hand over their vehicles here: Rent Easy, based on Via Carnia in the premises of the company Monacamper, and Blurent, which operates under the name Monza Camper and whose pick-up address is given to you when you book. The exact place and the time of the appointment are in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Monza?
The price mainly depends on the season, the length of hire and the size of the vehicle: a departure in July or August generally costs more than in spring or winter. Run a search with your dates: the prices shown include mandatory fees and can be booked straight away. Also compare departures from Milan or Bergamo, both very close.
Which motorhomes are available from Monza?
The offers observed cover three sizes. For a couple, the Active Classic, Active Extra and City Extra have four seats and two berths; the Active First and Family Classic offer four berths. Families of five will choose the Family Extra or Family First, with five seats and five berths. For the Stelvio hairpins, choose a compact model.
Can I return the motorhome in another city?
Yes, if the offer allows it: our rental companies also have depots in Milan, Como, Bergamo and Lecco, all less than 35 km away as the crow flies. A one-way trip to Bergamo, for example, saves you returning to Monza after Lake Iseo. Any one-way fee is included in the displayed price as soon as you choose the return city in your search.
Can I hire a motorhome for the Monza Grand Prix?
Yes, but you need to plan early: the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, usually in early September, draws huge crowds to Monza Park. Roads around the circuit are closed or congested and nearby campsites are fully booked. Book your vehicle and pitch several months ahead, and avoid scheduling the vehicle hand-over on that weekend.

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 Monza
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Italy?
Motorhomes and campervans under 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B licence. European Union licences are recognised as they are; a licence issued elsewhere generally needs to be accompanied by an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and years of driving required vary between rental companies: check the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Monza and the lakes?
Aree di sosta, municipal or private motorhome areas, are dotted along the Valtellina, Lake Iseo and the outskirts of Bergamo; several Franciacorta wine estates also welcome motorhomes. On the lake shores, many car parks are closed to motorhomes or have height barriers: find your area before arriving. Many lakeside campsites close from November to March.
Are the roads from Monza tolled?
Not all of them: the Valassina, the expressway linking Monza to Lecco and the north of Lake Como, is free. The A4 to Bergamo and Brescia and the Brenner motorway to the Dolomites are tolled, however, with a ticket taken on entry and a rate based on the vehicle class. Pay by card or cash and avoid the lanes reserved for Telepass.
Do I need winter tyres in Lombardy?
From 15 November to 15 April, winter tyres or snow chains on board are compulsory on roads marked by a sign, which are very common in the Valtellina, towards Bormio and Livigno and in the Pre-Alpine valleys. Ask the rental company whether the vehicle is equipped: without chains on board, a motorhome on summer tyres is not compliant on these roads.
Can I cross into Switzerland from the Valtellina?
The border is very close: from Tirano, the Bernina Pass climbs towards the Engadine and St. Moritz, and from Chiavenna, the Maloja Pass does the same. First check that the offer allows Switzerland, outside the European Union, then buy the vignette if you use its motorways. Livigno, on the Italian side, is a duty-free zone where fuel is cheaper.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Monza
Monza is an easier starting point than Milan for anyone heading to eastern and northern Lombardy: the Lecco expressway begins at the edge of town, Bergamo is about three quarters of an hour away by motorway and the shores of Lake Como less than an hour. From the very first kilometre you avoid the traffic jams and regulated zones of the metropolis.
Two partner companies, Blurent and Rent Easy, offer motorhomes for two to five travellers here. From Monza, a trip can link Lake Iseo, the terraced vineyards of the Valtellina, the hairpins of the Stelvio and the Dolomites, then end in Bergamo, Como, Lecco or Milan, other departure cities of our rental companies. Spring and early autumn are the ideal seasons, before the Alpine passes close.
