Anywhere Campers PerugiaPerugiaView map
Campervan hire in Perugia opens the roads of Umbria, the only region of the Italian peninsula with no access to the sea, nicknamed the green heart of Italy: olive-covered hills, hilltop villages of pink or grey stone, and Lake Trasimeno half an hour to the west. The regional capital, Perugia overlooks the Tiber valley from its hill, around Corso Vannucci, the Palazzo dei Priori and the Fontana Maggiore. Assisi, Gubbio, Spoleto, Todi and Orvieto are all less than two hours' drive away.
Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, hands over both campervans for two and family motorhomes here.

1 Lake Trasimeno, Orvieto and Todi
- Perugia
- Passignano sul Trasimeno
- Castiglione del Lago
- Città della Pieve
- Orvieto
- Todi
- Deruta
- Perugia
To the west, Lake Trasimeno lines up Passignano and its piers for Isola Maggiore, then Castiglione del Lago on its fortified promontory; it was near Tuoro that Hannibal crushed the Roman legions. You head south via Città della Pieve, birthplace of Perugino, to Orvieto and the mosaic façade of its cathedral, before returning up the Tiber valley via Todi and Deruta, the capital of Umbrian ceramics.

- Montefalco
- Spoleto
- Marmore Falls
- Norcia
- Castelluccio

Head south-east to Assisi, the town of St Francis, then Spello, Montefalco and its Sagrantino vineyards, and Spoleto, overlooked by the Ponte delle Torri. The Valnerina leads to the Marmore Falls, then to Norcia and the high plain of Castelluccio, famous for its lentils and its flowering from late May to July. These mountain roads, hit hard by the 2016 earthquake, call for a nimble vehicle.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Perugia?
Best time
May and June
May to June
highs 21 to 27 °C, lows 10 to 15 °C
The best time to set off from Perugia: long sunny days, countryside still green, poppy fields and cool nights for a good sleep. Traditional festivals liven up the towns, such as the Race of the Ceri in Gubbio on 15 May, or the flower carpets of the Infiorata in Spello in June.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 30 °C, lows 17 °C
Peak season: dry heat in the Tiber valley, very little rain and mild evenings. In July, the Umbria Jazz festival fills Perugia for about ten days; around 15 August, Italians take to the roads en masse for Ferragosto. Book your campsite pitches, and look for cooler air by the lake or up in the hills.
Spring and autumn
March to April, September to October
highs 13 to 24 °C, lows 3 to 13 °C
March and April remain cool and fairly rainy, but the hills turn green again and the sights can be visited without crowds. September and October, wetter, are the time of the grape harvest around Torgiano and, from late October, of the olive harvest: markets overflow with local produce and nights turn cool again.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 8 to 13 °C, lows 0 to 5 °C
A cool, damp winter, with November and December the wettest months of the year; frosts are frequent at night and snow sometimes closes the Apennine passes. Art towns, Christmas nativity scenes and the black truffles of Norcia can be enjoyed in peace, with a heated vehicle and a campsite open all year.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Historic centre in a limited traffic zone
Perugia's hilltop centre is a limited traffic zone monitored by cameras: do not drive up with the motorhome, even for a quick stop. Park below, for example near Pian di Massiano, terminus of the Minimetrò, a small automated metro that climbs to the centre; escalators also run through the Rocca Paolina. Check on site which spaces are open to motorhomes.
Toll-free expressways
Around Perugia, the main roads are free: the link road to the A1 that runs along Lake Trasimeno, the E45 to Todi in the south or Città di Castello and Cesena in the north, and the expressway to Assisi and Foligno. Only the A1 motorway, joined in the Val di Chiana or at Orvieto, is tolled, paid at the barrier.
Getting up to the hilltop towns
The neighbouring towns each have an access route from a car park below. In Assisi, escalators link the Mojano car park to the town; in Spoleto, a mechanised walkway climbs beneath the Rocca; Orvieto is reached by the funicular from the station. Avoid the steep lanes leading to the gates in the walls, too narrow for a motorhome.
Winter tyres from mid-November to mid-April
From mid-November to mid-April, much of Umbria's road network, including the E45 and the Apennine roads, requires winter tyres or snow chains on board. Check the rules in force and the vehicle's equipment with the rental company before heading to Norcia, Castelluccio or Gubbio in the cold season.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Perugia
Where can I pick up a campervan in Perugia?
Our partner company in Perugia is Anywhere Campers, which has a depot in the city. The exact meeting point and handover time are given in your booking confirmation. Allow some time for the vehicle walkthrough, then choose a short first leg, to Lake Trasimeno or Assisi, while you get used to it.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Perugia?
The price depends mainly on the season, the length of hire and the size of vehicle: a van for two does not cost the same as a six-seat motorhome, and the summer months are the most in demand. Run a search with your departure and return dates to see real prices, mandatory fees included, bookable straight away.
Can I do a one-way trip from Perugia?
Several nearby cities are also departure points of our partners: Siena, San Gimignano and Florence in Tuscany, Ancona and Rimini on the Adriatic, as well as San Marino. Depending on the company and the vehicle, a return to one of them may be offered: enter the drop-off city when searching to see compatible offers, with one-way fees already included.
Which vehicle should I choose from Perugia?
The offers we found range from the Van for 2, with two seats and two berths, to the Sunlight A70, with six seats and six berths. In between, the Carado T-447 takes four people, the Adria Matrix M670SL and the Sunlight T 68 take five, with manual or automatic gearboxes depending on the model. For Castelluccio and village lanes, a compact vehicle is easier to drive.
How many days should I plan for Umbria?
A week is enough for the highlights, as the region is compact: Lake Trasimeno, Assisi, Spello, Spoleto, Todi and Orvieto follow one another in short stages. In ten to fifteen days, you can add the Valnerina, Norcia and the Sibillini Mountains, or an escape to Gubbio, Urbino and the Adriatic, while keeping free days for markets and hikes.

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 Perugia
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Italy?
A category B licence is enough for campervans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes, which covers most rental vehicles. With a licence issued outside the European Union, an international driving permit or an official translation is often required. The minimum age and years of driving required by the rental company are shown in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Umbria?
The region has many aree di sosta, municipal motorhome areas often located at the foot of the villages, and campsites near Assisi, Spoleto and Norcia. Some agriturismi also welcome motorhomes, among vineyards and olive groves. Parking is allowed where it is permitted, but setting out chairs, levelling blocks or an awning outside motorhome areas and campsites is forbidden.
How do I get to Perugia by plane or train?
Umbria International Airport, Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi, is at Sant'Egidio, east of the city, and mainly receives European flights. Many travellers land in Rome or Florence, then reach Perugia Fontivegge station by train, either direct or with a change at Foligno or Terontola depending on where they come from.
When should I book my campervan in Perugia?
With a single partner company on site, the number of vehicles available is limited: for July and August, book several months ahead, as well as for the Italian bank holidays of 25 April, 1 May and 2 June. Vans for two are often the first to go. The rest of the year, a few weeks' notice is usually enough.
Can I swim in Lake Trasimeno?
Yes: being shallow, the lake warms up quickly in summer, and equipped beaches line its shores, notably at Castiglione del Lago, Passignano, Tuoro and San Feliciano. Several campsites have direct access to the water, handy for a first or last night less than an hour from the depot, when you would rather not drive tired.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Perugia
Perugia lies in the centre of Italy, in a region where stages remain short: in less than an hour, you can sleep by Lake Trasimeno, at the foot of Assisi or in the hills of Todi. A little further, the Valnerina and the Sibillini Mountains reveal a mountain Italy of lentils and truffles, far from the crowds of the Tuscan art cities.
The city is also a crossroads: Tuscany with Siena and Florence to the west, the Marche and the Adriatic coast with Ancona and Rimini to the east, all departure cities of our partners for a one-way trip. Anywhere Campers, our partner company on site, offers vehicles with two to six berths. The most pleasant season runs from May to August, and the late season stays pleasant until October, when the hills change colour.
