Anywhere Campers BratislavaBratislavaView map
Hiring a motorhome in Bratislava lets you set off from the Slovak capital, on both banks of the Danube, towards landscapes still little known to motorhome travellers: the vineyards of the Little Carpathians on the city's doorstep, the castles of the Váh valley, the lakes and peaks of the High Tatras, or South Moravia, across the Czech border. Wedged against Austria and Hungary, the city also lends itself to a multi-country trip. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, offers campervans, camper vans and motorhomes here.
From the city, the D1 motorway heads up the Váh valley towards Žilina and the north of the country: a single main road across Slovakia.

North-east of the city, the Little Carpathians wine route runs through Svätý Jur, Pezinok and Modra, winegrowing towns known for their cellars and, in Modra, for its painted ceramics. The castles of Červený Kameň and Smolenice, set in the forest, come before Trnava, nicknamed the “little Rome” of Slovakia for its many churches.

Weather and seasons
When to go à Bratislava?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 20 to 26 °C, lows 11 to 16 °C
The best months to set off from Bratislava: long days, green vineyards and accessible Tatra trails, without the summer crowds. September coincides with the grape harvest in the Little Carpathians, when cellars open their doors for wine festivals. May and September are, however, the wettest months: allow a few spare days.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 27 to 28 °C, lows 17 °C
High summer brings heat and sunshine, but also crowds in the High Tatras and around the Liptov lakes, very popular with Slovak and Czech families. Book campsites and your vehicle early, and choose the cool of the mountains over the hot afternoons of the Danube plain.
April and October
April, October
highs 16 °C, lows 6 to 8 °C
Two transitional months, cool but often sunny, for visiting Bratislava, the castles and wine-growing Moravia in peace. At altitude, snow may still cover the Tatras in April and return as early as October; many campsites open late in spring or close early in autumn: check their dates.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 4 to 12 °C, lows -2 to 3 °C
Winter is cold, with frequent night frosts and little sunshine in December and January. The Christmas markets of the old town liven up December, and the Tatra resorts welcome skiers. A heated motorhome and campsites open all year round are then essential.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
The e-známka electronic vignette
Slovak motorways and expressways, marked with the letters D and R, require an electronic vignette, the e-známka, linked to the number plate and bought online or at a sales point before using them. Check with the rental company that it is valid for your whole rental period. For a motorhome over 3.5 tonnes, a different toll system may apply: find out before you leave.
The old town without the motorhome
Bratislava's old town, compact and largely pedestrianised, is best explored on foot, and parking is regulated by zones in most districts. Leave the motorhome at the campsite or in a car park outside the centre, then reach St Michael's Gate, St Martin's Cathedral and the castle by tram or trolleybus.
Mountain roads and snow
Towards the Tatras, you leave the motorway for narrow valleys and mountain roads where snow can fall early. In Slovakia, winter tyres are compulsory whenever the road is covered with snow or ice. Outside summer, ask the rental company how the vehicle is equipped and check the weather before driving up to Štrbské Pleso.
Overnight stays and national parks
Wild camping is banned in Slovak national parks, such as the Tatras or Slovak Paradise, where rangers issue fines. Elsewhere, the rules depend on municipalities and landowners: ask locally. Campsites, called “kemping” or “autokemping”, remain the safest option, especially in season.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip à Bratislava
Where can I pick up a motorhome in Bratislava?
Our partner company in Bratislava is Anywhere Campers, with a depot in the city. The exact address and the time of the handover appointment are in your booking confirmation. Allow time for a full handover, covering heating, gas, water and tanks, before heading for the Little Carpathians or the north of the country.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Bratislava?
The price varies with the season, the length of hire and the type of vehicle: a two-seat campervan and a motorhome sleeping six do not cost the same, and summer remains the most popular period. Run a search with your dates: offers are shown with mandatory fees included, ready to book.
Which motorhomes are available from Bratislava?
The offers we found range from the Van for 2, sleeping two, to the low-profile Carado T-447 sleeping four and Sunlight T 68 sleeping five, up to the family over-cab Sunlight A70, with six seats and six berths. The Adria Matrix M670SL, sleeping five, completes the range. Almost all come in manual and automatic versions.
Can I drive into Austria, Hungary or Czechia?
Bratislava is the only capital bordering two countries: Austria and Hungary begin on the city's doorstep, and Czechia is less than an hour's drive away. Each country has its own vignette, to be bought before using its motorways. Also check that the insurance covers these countries in the offer conditions.
How long does it take to reach the High Tatras?
Allow about 330 km and four hours' driving on the D1 motorway, which follows the Váh valley via Trnava, Trenčín and Žilina. It is better to split the journey in two, with a night in Trenčín or in the Liptov region, to enjoy the stops and arrive rested in the mountains.

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.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Bratislava
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Slovakia?
A category B licence is enough for campervans, camper vans and motorhomes with a gross weight of up to 3.5 tonnes. A licence issued outside the European Union may need to be accompanied by an international driving permit. The minimum age and years of driving required by the rental company are set out in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Bratislava?
The Zlaté piesky campsite, beside a swimming lake north-east of the city, is the most convenient base: the tram takes you to the centre with no parking worries. Outside the capital, campsites in the Little Carpathians and along the Danube welcome motorhomes, often only from May to September.
What driving rules should I know in Slovakia?
Dipped headlights are compulsory during the day all year round, and alcohol is completely banned at the wheel: zero tolerance, even after a wine tasting in Pezinok or Modra. The reflective vest must be within reach inside the cab. Speed limits, lowered when passing through villages, are frequently checked.
How do I get to the depot from the airport?
M. R. Štefánik Airport lies east of the city, linked to the centre and the main railway station by a city bus and by taxi. Many travellers also land at Vienna-Schwechat, about 50 km away: regular coaches reach Bratislava in about an hour. Tell the rental company your arrival time to arrange the appointment.
Which currency is used in Slovakia?
Slovakia has used the euro since 2009, like neighbouring Austria: no currency exchange is needed for a trip between these two countries. Hungary and Czechia, on the other hand, have kept their own currencies, the forint and the koruna. Bank cards are widely accepted at petrol stations, supermarkets and most campsites.
When should I book a motorhome in Bratislava?
With a single depot in the city, the choice is more limited than in the large neighbouring capitals: book several months ahead for July and August, and as soon as your dates are fixed if you want a campervan or an automatic gearbox. In spring and autumn, a few weeks before departure is often enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Bratislava
Bratislava is the most direct starting point for discovering Slovakia, a compact country where a single day's drive takes you from the Danube plain to the peaks of the High Tatras. The vineyards of the Little Carpathians, the hilltop castles of the Váh valley, former mining towns and the fortress of Spiš make for a varied trip, away from the main tourist flows.
Its location on the border with Austria and Hungary, close to Moravia, also makes it easy to link several countries without long transfers. Anywhere Campers offers a range from the campervan for two to the family motorhome sleeping six, with manual or automatic gearboxes. The climate is most favourable from May to September, while winter suits travellers equipped for the cold.
