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!

Explore Slovakia by van
Slovakia, a land of contrasts between wild Carpathians and medieval towns, offers a unique experience for travelers in a motorhome or van, where each season reveals a different face of the country.
When to visit Slovakia
The ideal time to discover Slovakia in a motorhome extends from May to September, when temperatures are mild and the sky is often clear, especially around Bratislava and in the Tatras. July and August are the busiest months, with many festivals and craft markets, but also the most crowded, especially near lakes and national parks like the Tatra National Park.
Spring and autumn offer a calmer atmosphere, ideal for hiking around Štrbské Pleso or strolling through the vineyards of the Nitra region. Winter, although harsh, attracts snow sports enthusiasts to resorts like Jasná, where the snowy landscapes are worth the detour.
Weather and clothing preparation
The Slovak climate is continental, with hot and stormy summers, long and cold winters, and rapid weather changes, especially in the mountains. In Poprad or in the Carpathians, it is essential to prepare warm and waterproof clothing, even in summer, as the weather can change quickly.
In a motorhome, you must adapt to variations: sunny days in Bratislava can give way to showers in the valleys of the Tatras, where temperatures drop quickly in the evening.
Seasonality and rates
Camping and motorhome rental rates are higher in July and August, especially near tourist sites like Liptovská Mara lake or the surroundings of Košice. Outside of high season, prices drop significantly, offering more affordable access to national parks and small towns like Zvolen or Banská Štiavnica.
In autumn and spring, campgrounds are less frequented, allowing you to fully enjoy the vibrant or lush landscapes while benefiting from advantageous rates and a more peaceful setting.
Practical tips for traveling in a motorhome
Slovakia offers varied landscapes, historic cities like Bratislava, and natural parks such as the High Tatras National Park, ideal for travelers in a motorhome or van.
Driving and regulations
In Slovakia, the maximum speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on regular roads, and 130 km/h on highways for light vehicles. Motorhomes and caravans are limited to 90 km/h on separated carriageway roads and 130 km/h on highways. The allowed blood alcohol level is 0 g/l, and wearing a seatbelt is mandatory for all passengers, including in the back. Children under 1.50 m must use an appropriate seat. All tourist vehicles must have an e-vignette (e-známka) to travel on highways and expressways.
Sleeping and connecting
Wild camping is prohibited outside official campgrounds in Slovakia, especially around Bratislava and in natural parks like the High Tatras. It is advisable to prefer service areas or equipped campgrounds, such as those located near Košice or Poprad, to spend the night legally. Fires are generally prohibited, even in bivouac, to preserve nature.
Local tips & safety
Slovakia is generally safe for travelers, but it is recommended to respect local rules, especially by avoiding parking on private land or in protected forests. Residents of villages like Vlkolínec or Čičmany are often welcoming, but it is preferable to ask for permission before stopping near a home. Road checks are frequent, especially on routes leading to the Hungarian or Czech border, and it is advisable to always have your documents in order.

Too rigid computer system
Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Very good from the quote to the rental, I recommend!
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Easy to contact intermediary. For my part, a big thank you to Marlene for her availability and responsiveness.
Excellent service, speed, and courtesy
Easy communication, in French
They have always responded quickly to all my requests and their website is very functional!
Everything was well arranged, clear information in advance, and the handover of the mobile home went smoothly.
It is convenient to book a vehicle without too many questions. However, personally, I went to Iceland, and the story surrounding the insurance was really not clear with the rental agency.
Diversity of offerings, clear presentation of the site, available options. No surprises on the price; you know what you're paying for. I recommend it and will probably use it again for other camper van trips.
Responsiveness to emails and requests is excellent.
Everything went well.
Hello, very bad experience with the rental made with Causeway Campers Ltd: the rented camper was damaged from a previous accident with many parts taped up, including the rear bumper, which came loose during the jolts in the middle of the trip that I had to reattach after notifying them with makeshift means, causing stress on the road in the second part of the trip (photo available if needed); upon...
