The rental company

Hostel On Wheels in Spain: a campervan to collect all over the country

Known in Portugal for its converted campervans and its 4x4s with roof tents, Hostel On Wheels also covers Spain with seven handover cities spread across four regions: Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña in Galicia, Madrid in the centre, Barcelona in Catalonia, then Seville, Málaga and Granada in Andalusia. No depot address appears in our listings yet: where the campervan awaits you, the rental company’s premises or simply a meeting point, is only known once the hire is confirmed.

This network lets you choose the city to suit your trip. The two Galician cities, less than an hour’s drive apart, open up the rías and the Costa da Morte. Madrid puts Toledo, Segovia and the Sierra de Guadarrama less than two hours away. Barcelona leads to the Costa Brava and the Catalan Pyrenees, while the Andalusian trio brings together the Alhambra, the Sierra Nevada, the white villages and the Costa del Sol.

CoolDrive has not yet recorded any Hostel On Wheels offers in Spain. The price, included mileage, excess and model offered are therefore shown offer by offer, for the dates you enter.

Our view: an extensive network for a campervan rental company, handy for starting in the north-west after the Camino de Santiago or at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, in Granada. On the other hand, with no addresses or prices known to date, comparing means running a search for your dates, and the handover requires a little planning.

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Hostel On Wheels

Choose your region according to the season

In July and August, Seville and inland Andalusia often exceed 40 °C, while Galicia stays green and mild: it is the right time for Santiago and A Coruña. Conversely, from November to March, Málaga and the Costa del Sol enjoy mild days. Granada, perched at over 700 m, has cold winter nights on board a campervan.
Plan your journey to the handover point

You receive the exact location with your booking. Before setting the time, ask our experts how to get there from the station or the airport: in Madrid or Barcelona, crossing the city at rush hour can take much longer than expected.
Check the low-emission zones before driving into town

Madrid and Barcelona have low-emission zones where access depends on the vehicle’s environmental rating, and other Spanish cities are introducing them. Get confirmation that your campervan is allowed in, or leave it on the outskirts and go in by metro.
Keep the campervan out of the old quarters

Granada’s Albaicín and Seville’s Santa Cruz quarter are made up of narrow lanes, often reserved for residents. Park at a motorhome area or a car park on the edge of the centre and go up on foot or by bus: you will avoid a fine and some tricky manoeuvres.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Hostel On Wheels

In which Spanish cities can you collect a Hostel On Wheels campervan?

Our data lists seven: Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña in the north-west, Madrid, Barcelona, then Seville, Málaga and Granada in the south. None has an address published in our listings: the handover takes place at the location given after booking.

What budget should you plan for a Hostel On Wheels campervan in Spain?

We do not yet have any recorded prices for this rental company in Spain. The price varies with the city, the season, the length of hire and the vehicle: in Andalusia, Holy Week and summer are the busiest periods. A search for your dates shows the amount, mandatory fees included, along with the mileage and excess.

Which departure city should you choose for a first campervan trip?

For a short first road trip, Granada or Málaga make for a packed Andalusian loop: the Alhambra, Ronda, the white villages, beaches. Madrid suits lovers of Castile’s historic cities. Galicia appeals to those who like wild coastlines and cooler weather. Barcelona is the natural choice for combining the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees.

Can you drive to Portugal with a campervan collected in Galicia or Andalusia?

Porto is about two and a half hours from Santiago, and the Algarve just over two hours from Seville. As the rental company also has departures in Portugal, the idea is tempting, but leaving the country and any return in another city depend on the offer. Check the clause and try the route in the search.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Hostel On Wheels campervan hire in Spain

How does booking a Hostel On Wheels campervan on CoolDrive work?

You run a search on one of the seven cities with your dates: the available offers appear with their final price, alongside those of other rental companies active in Spain such as McRent, Autocaravan Express or Blurent. As soon as the hire is confirmed, our team arranges with Hostel On Wheels the time and place where the campervan will be handed over to you.

What deposit is required for a Hostel On Wheels campervan in Spain?

Our surveys do not yet show the amount. The deposit, the excess and the required means of payment are detailed in the offer; a credit card is usually requested. Check its limit if you are also using it for flights and campsites.

Which licence do you need to drive a campervan in Spain?

A category B licence is generally enough for a campervan under 3.5 tonnes. A licence issued in the European Union is recognised as it is; with a licence from another country, find out about the international driving permit. For the minimum age and the number of years of driving experience required, refer to the conditions attached to each offer.

Can you sleep wherever you like in a campervan in Spain?

No. A vehicle simply parked where parking is allowed is generally tolerated, but putting out chairs, an awning or levelling blocks counts as camping, which is often prohibited. Many coastal municipalities also ban spending the night on board. Campsites and motorhome service areas remain the safest option.
