Autocaravan Express motorhome hire in Spain: reviews

The rental company

Autocaravan Express, a network covering the whole of Spain

Autocaravan Express is a Spanish motorhome rental company whose main depot is north of Madrid, in San Sebastián de los Reyes, along the A-1 motorway. Its network has 16 departure cities spread across the country: Barcelona, Valencia, Málaga, Seville, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Zaragoza and Granada, among others.

The fleet is based almost entirely on the Carado brand, part of the Erwin Hymer Group: Urban and Carado CV campervans, Active and Family low-profiles, and Comfort overcabs sleeping up to six. A Dacia Lodgy converted for two completes the range. Most models have a manual gearbox.

In all the Autocaravan Express offers recorded by CoolDrive, mileage is unlimited and the excess is €700. The rental company also offers one-way hires between its Spanish cities, to be confirmed offer by offer.

Our verdict: a good choice for crossing Spain, thanks to an extensive network, a lower excess than those of McRent or Anywhere Campers in our records and vehicles that are easy to get to grips with. Its limitations: a fleet with little variety, no A-class, few automatic gearboxes and, outside Madrid, a pick-up address to check in the offer details.

You are setting off from a less well-served city, such as León, Almería or Pamplona
You are travelling as a family and need up to six berths
You are travelling as a couple and want a compact van that is easy to park

Autocaravan Express is not ideal if…

You want to choose between several motorhome brands

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Autocaravan Express

Find the range that suits you

Autocaravan Express groups its vehicles into ranges: Urban and Carado CV for campervans, Active for compact low-profiles, Family for low-profiles with four or five seats, Comfort for overcabs sleeping six. Compare the number of berths and seats before booking.
Make the most of the network for a one-way hire

With 16 departure cities, a route from Barcelona to Seville or from Bilbao to Málaga becomes possible without retracing your steps. Enter a different drop-off city when searching: the search engine then only shows compatible offers, one-way fees included.
Book an automatic early

The fleet is mostly manual. Automatic models, such as the Urban Plus, the Carado T-447 or the T-339/T-449, are few in number: if you do not drive a manual, book several months ahead, especially for July and August.
Check the exact pick-up location

The Madrid depot is located in San Sebastián de los Reyes, at kilometre 24 of the A-1. In the other cities, the exact address appears on the offer page, then on your confirmation: check it to plan your journey from the station or airport.
Make sure the excess is covered on your card

The excess recorded at Autocaravan Express is €700 on all models. Make sure your card limit covers this amount and the security deposit required, and ask our experts about options that reduce what you would have to pay.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Autocaravan Express

Does Autocaravan Express limit mileage?

No: all the Autocaravan Express offers recorded by CoolDrive in Spain include unlimited mileage, from the small campervan to the six-berth overcab. This is valuable in such a vast country, where driving from San Sebastián to Andalusia already means nearly a thousand kilometres. McRent and Anywhere Campers also offer unlimited mileage in our records.

In which cities can I hire an Autocaravan Express motorhome?

The rental company offers 16 departure cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Santander, Pamplona and León in the north and centre, then Alicante, Murcia, Almería, Málaga, Granada, Córdoba and Seville in the south. The Madrid depot is in San Sebastián de los Reyes, north of the capital.

Can I do a one-way hire with Autocaravan Express?

Yes, the rental company offers one-way hires between its Spanish cities, which means you can, for example, set off from Barcelona and return the vehicle in Seville. The routes accepted and any fees vary by offer: enter your return city in the search to see only the possible combinations.

Which motorhomes does Autocaravan Express offer?

Almost the entire fleet comes from Carado: Urban and Carado CV campervans for two to four people, Active and Family low-profiles, and Comfort overcabs sleeping up to six. A converted Dacia Lodgy helps out travellers as a couple. The rental company offers neither an A-class nor an off-road vehicle in our records.

How much does an Autocaravan Express hire cost in Spain?

According to our prices recorded in October 2026 for a 14-day hire, an Autocaravan Express campervan starts from €87 per day in January. In July, the median is around €136 for a campervan, €162 for a low-profile and €185 for a six-berth overcab, mandatory fees included. The April medians are even slightly higher. Search with your dates for the exact rate.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Autocaravan Express motorhome hire in Spain

Why book Autocaravan Express with CoolDrive?

A single CoolDrive search puts Autocaravan Express side by side with the other Spanish rental companies, with a price that already includes mandatory fees. You can see at a glance the mileage, the excess and the one-way hires accepted. Our experts then help you choose the range, the departure city and the options, before as well as during the trip.

What excess does Autocaravan Express charge?

In all the Autocaravan Express offers recorded in October 2026, the excess is €700, whatever the model. That is less than at McRent or Anywhere Campers in our records. The security deposit amount and any excess reduction options are stated in each offer: check them before signing.

What licence do I need to drive an Autocaravan Express motorhome?

A category B licence is enough for vehicles with a gross vehicle weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes, which is the case for most campervans and low-profiles. The weight of each model appears in the offer details. The rental company also states the age required and the number of years the licence must have been held.

Where do I collect my motorhome in Madrid?

Autocaravan Express’s Madrid depot is located at kilometre 24 of the A-1 motorway, towards Burgos, in San Sebastián de los Reyes. It can be reached by car or taxi from Madrid-Barajas airport, which is fairly close. Handover and return times appear in your booking confirmation.

Can I leave Spain with an Autocaravan Express motorhome?

A trip into Portugal or the south of France often tempts travellers. The countries permitted and any conditions for leaving the country are set by the rental company and stated in the offer terms. Check them before planning your route, or ask our experts when booking.

Does Autocaravan Express offer automatic gearboxes?

Yes, but only a few. In the fleet shown, the Urban Plus, the Carado T-447, the Carado T-339/T-449 and the converted Dacia Lodgy are automatic; the other models are manual. To be sure of getting one in summer, book well in advance and filter by transmission in the results.
