Anywhere Campers RigaRigaView map
Hiring a campervan in Riga means starting your trip at the heart of the Baltic states, between the Hanseatic old town and the Gulf of Riga. In less than an hour you can reach the sandy beaches of Jūrmala or the sandstone cliffs of Gauja National Park; further afield lie the forests of Courland, Cape Kolka, then Tallinn and Vilnius. Four partner companies offer campervans, converted vans and motorhomes: Anywhere Campers, Caravan Expert, Kemperi 365 and Touring Cars.
The depots are in the city and in Berģi, on the north-eastern edge on the road to Sigulda: a direct start towards the Gauja or the Via Baltica.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Riga?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 17 to 22 °C, lows 7 to 13 °C
The best months to leave from Riga: very long days, with up to 14 hours of sunshine in June, and roads still quiet. May turns the Gauja forests green again; in September, a sea still at 19 °C extends summer on the beaches of Jūrmala and Courland, deserted after the holidays.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 22 to 23 °C, lows 14 to 15 °C
The Baltic peak season: sea at 20 °C, lively Jūrmala beaches and campsites full at weekends. It is also the wettest time of year, with frequent thundery showers in August: an awning and a few fallback visits in Riga or Tallinn come in handy.
April and October
April, October
highs 11 °C, lows 2 to 6 °C
Two cool, quiet transition months. April already brings ten hours of sunshine a day but nights close to freezing; October, wetter, turns the Gauja forests gold and red. A heated vehicle is essential, and many campsites are seasonal: check their opening dates.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 0 to 6 °C, lows -4 to 1 °C
The Latvian winter is cold, dark and often snowy, with barely two hours of sunshine a day from November to January. Travelling is still possible for snow lovers, from Riga's Christmas market to the frozen forests of Sigulda, in a well-insulated vehicle and by choosing campsites open in winter.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
The old town without a motorhome
Vehicle access to Vecrīga, the old town, is restricted and charged, and its cobbled lanes are unsuitable for motorhomes. Park at a campsite or a car park outside the historic centre and continue by tram or bus; the Central Market, housed in former zeppelin hangars, is a good place to stock up.
Jūrmala entry fee
From April to September, Jūrmala charges an entry fee on every vehicle entering the town, payable at the checkpoint on the road from Riga or in advance by electronic payment. It applies even for a quick stop at the beach: check the current rate for your vehicle.
Headlights on and winter tyres
In Latvia, dipped headlights are compulsory day and night, all year round. In midwinter, from December to early March, winter tyres are compulsory too: check the vehicle's equipment if you leave in November or March, when snow can fall. At dawn, watch out for elk and deer on forest roads.
The Via Baltica, a lorry route
The A1 to Estonia and the A7 to Lithuania form the Via Baltica, often with a single lane in each direction and heavy lorry traffic. Overtaking requires patience and speed cameras are numerous. Baltic roads have no toll barriers, but electronic vignettes apply to some heavy or commercial vehicles: ask the rental company whether yours is concerned.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Riga
Where can I pick up a campervan in Riga?
Four partner companies welcome you: Caravan Expert on Kalnciema street, in the west of the city, Touring Cars on Bieķensalas street, on the left bank of the Daugava, Kemperi 365 in Berģi, on the edge of the city on the road to Sigulda, and Anywhere Campers in Riga. The exact address and hand-over time are in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Riga?
Our searches in October 2026, covering 60 offers from three rental companies, found prices from €89 per day for a campervan in winter, mandatory fees included. For a July departure, observed prices start at €147 per day for a campervan and €169 for a motorhome. The actual rate depends on your dates and length of hire: a search shows it instantly.
Can I visit Estonia and Lithuania with a campervan hired in Riga?
Yes: Tallinn and Vilnius are each about 300 km from Riga, with no border checks since all three Baltic states are part of the Schengen area. However, check the countries covered by the insurance in the offer conditions, especially if you plan to continue to Poland or take a ferry from Tallinn to Finland.
Which vehicle should I choose for a road trip from Riga?
The offers observed range from a 3-seat campervan sleeping 3, with manual or automatic gearbox, to the Family model with 7 seats and 6 berths. In between, the Carado T-447 sleeps 4 and the Adria Matrix M670SL has 5 seats and 5 berths. For Courland's small roads a campervan is enough; for a family tour of the Baltic states, choose a larger model.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Riga
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Latvia?
For a vehicle under 3.5 tonnes, a category B licence is enough in Latvia. A licence issued outside the European Union sometimes has to be accompanied by an international driving permit, especially if it is not written in the Latin alphabet. Each rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, specified in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Latvia?
Besides campsites, the Latvian State Forests agency, LVM, maintains many free rest areas by lakes, rivers and the sea. Discreet overnight parking is generally tolerated away from private land and protected areas, but driving or parking on beaches and dunes is forbidden: follow local signs.
Is mileage unlimited?
In our October 2026 searches, 73% of offers from Riga included unlimited mileage; the others have a mileage limit. For a tour of the three Baltic states, which easily exceeds 1,000 km, compare this point in the details of each offer before booking, together with the price of extra kilometres.
How do I get to the depots from Riga airport?
Riga International Airport is about ten kilometres west of the centre, near the road to Jūrmala. The left-bank depots, on Kalnciema and Bieķensalas streets, are the closest; Kemperi 365, in Berģi, is on the other side of the city. Taxis and buses serve the airport: let the rental company know your arrival time.
What excess should I expect when hiring in Riga?
The median excess of offers observed in October 2026 is €1,500, often secured by a deposit on a credit card. Excess reduction options can usually lower it: check their price and what they cover, especially the windscreen and underbody, which are exposed on Latvia's many gravel roads.
When should I book a motorhome in Latvia?
For July and August, book several months ahead: the season is short and campervans go fast. Also avoid arriving without a booking around 23 and 24 June, the Līgo and Jāņi festival, when all of Latvia heads to the countryside to celebrate the solstice and campsites are full. The rest of the year, a few weeks is enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Riga
The largest city in the Baltic states, Riga is centrally located: Courland and its wild beaches to the west, the Gauja valley to the north-east, Estonia to the north and Lithuania to the south are all within a day's drive at most. Latvia itself, forested and sparsely populated, is made for road trips, with quiet roads, countless lakes and an almost continuous sandy coastline along the Baltic.
With four partner companies, from compact campervans to seven-seat family motorhomes, and prices observed from €89 per day in October 2026, Riga is also an affordable starting point. The fine season, from May to September, accounts for most departures: that is the one to plan ahead for.
