Hiring a campervan in Arnhem means setting off from the heart of Gelderland, where the Lower Rhine runs along the wooded hills of the Veluwe, one of the largest natural areas in the Netherlands. Within half an hour's drive you reach the heathland of De Hoge Veluwe National Park, the orchards of the Betuwe or the old merchant towns of the IJssel. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, offers campervans, converted vans and motorhomes sleeping two to six.
The nearby German border also opens the Rhine road to Kleve and Xanten.

- Apeldoorn
- Elburg

North of Arnhem, the road climbs to the Posbank, the viewpoint of Veluwezoom National Park, then crosses forests and heathland to Otterlo, the entrance to De Hoge Veluwe park and its Kröller-Müller Museum, rich in Van Gogh paintings. Het Loo Royal Palace in Apeldoorn comes before the small fortified towns of Elburg and Harderwijk, on the shores of the Veluwemeer. A short loop, ideal for a first trip.

- Doesburg
- Bronkhorst
- Zutphen
- Vorden

Following the IJssel northwards, Doesburg and its ramparts, then Bronkhorst, a tiny town of brick houses, lead to Zutphen, a Hanseatic city with medieval towers. To the east, the country roads of the Achterhoek link the many castles of Vorden and the small town of Lochem, before reaching Deventer and its riverside quays. A flat route, perfect for alternating between motorhome and bicycle.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Arnhem?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 23 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C
The most pleasant months to explore Gelderland: long days, lush green forests and campsites available outside the school holidays. In early September, the Veluwe heather is often still in bloom and turns the heathland purple, while temperatures stay mild.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 24 °C, lows 14 to 15 °C
Peak season, driven by Dutch and German school holidays: campsites in the woods around Arnhem fill up quickly and the Veluwe cycle paths are very busy. Book your pitches and visit the most popular sights on weekdays.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 3 to 9 °C
Cool but often fine shoulder seasons. In April, the orchards of the Betuwe, between the Rhine and the Waal, are covered in apple and pear blossom; in October, the Veluwe forests take on their autumn colours and the red deer rut draws wildlife watchers at dusk.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 6 to 10 °C, lows 2 to 5 °C
A grey, damp winter, rarely very cold: a heated vehicle is enough. Several Veluwe campsites stay open all year, and the Christmas markets of neighbouring Rhineland, across the border, give a purpose to short trips in December.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up at Anywhere Campers
In Arnhem, you set off from Anywhere Campers, the city's only partner company. The exact address and handover time are in your booking confirmation. Allow a good hour to get to know the vehicle, especially if it is your first motorhome trip.
The city centre by trolleybus
Arnhem's centre, between the station and the Rhine, is poorly suited to parking a motorhome. Leave the vehicle at a campsite or motorhome area and take the trolleybus: Arnhem is the only city in the Netherlands still running such a network, which serves the centre and much of the urban area.
Wildlife on the Veluwe roads
Red deer, roe deer and wild boar often cross the forest roads of the Veluwe, especially at dawn and dusk. Wildlife warning signs are frequent and speed limits are sometimes lowered: drive carefully at night, and never feed wild boar near car parks.
Ferries on the Rhine and the IJssel
Small ferries cross the Lower Rhine and the IJssel around Arnhem, such as the one linking Driel and Heveadorp. They save long detours via the bridges, but their timetables, fares and accepted vehicle sizes vary: check them before boarding with a large motorhome.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Arnhem
Where can I pick up a campervan in Arnhem?
Our partner company in Arnhem is Anywhere Campers, which has a depot in the city. You collect the vehicle at the time agreed when booking, and return it there at the end of your trip unless you choose a one-way hire. The exact address is given in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Arnhem?
The rate depends on the season, the length of hire, the vehicle chosen and current availability, with summer being the most popular period. Run a search with your departure and return dates in Arnhem to compare real prices, mandatory fees included, and book the offer that suits you directly.
What vehicles can I hire in Arnhem?
The offers observed range from the Van for 2, a converted van for two people, to the Sunlight A70 alcove motorhome for six, via the Carado T 447 low-profile sleeping four, the Sunlight T 68 sleeping five and the five-seat Adria Matrix M670SL. Most come with a manual or automatic gearbox.
Can I drive to Germany with a campervan hired in Arnhem?
Germany begins about twenty kilometres away, via the A12 motorway towards Emmerich and the Ruhr. Before leaving, check in the offer conditions that neighbouring countries are covered by the insurance. Some German cities require a green environmental sticker to enter their centre: find out about the rules in force.
How many days should I plan from Arnhem?
Three to four days are enough for a loop through the Veluwe or along the IJssel, as distances are short. With a week, you can combine both, or add Nijmegen and the German Rhine. With more than ten days, Friesland, the Wadden Sea or the Eifel come within reach.

Trustpilot
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 Arnhem
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in the Netherlands?
A category B licence is enough for motorhomes, campervans and converted vans under 3.5 tonnes. With a licence issued outside the European Union, an international driving permit may be required. The rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, stated in the conditions of each offer from Arnhem.
How do I get to Arnhem from the airport?
Arnhem has no airport. From Schiphol, a direct Intercity train reaches Arnhem Centraal station in just over an hour, via Utrecht. Eindhoven airport and, across the border, Düsseldorf airport are other options. Let the rental company know your arrival time to arrange the meeting.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Arnhem?
Wild camping is banned in the Netherlands and checked in the natural areas of the Veluwe. Campsites are plentiful in the woods around Arnhem, from Oosterbeek to Rheden, and many Gelderland municipalities have set up motorhome areas, known as camperplaatsen, often near marinas.
Can I return the vehicle in another city?
Our rental companies also have depots in Utrecht, Houten, Amersfoort, Rotterdam and Maastricht, which makes a one-way trip possible depending on the offers available. A one-way fee may apply: it is included in the displayed price as soon as you enter a different return city when searching.
Can I visit De Hoge Veluwe park with a motorhome?
De Hoge Veluwe National Park is reached through its Otterlo, Hoenderloo and Schaarsbergen entrances, the latter very close to Arnhem. Entry is charged, with a supplement for the vehicle; check the conditions for motorhomes on the park's website. Once inside, white bicycles are available free of charge.
When should I book a campervan in Arnhem?
With a single partner company in Arnhem, the number of vehicles is limited: book several months ahead for July and August, as well as for the May bank holidays, which are very popular in the Netherlands. In spring and autumn, a few weeks before departure is often enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Arnhem
Arnhem is one of the few departure points in the Netherlands that turns its back on the sea: the city opens onto the wooded hills of the Veluwe, the heathland and rivers of the east of the country, an unexpected Dutch landscape for anyone who only pictures polders and windmills. The Netherlands Open Air Museum, Burgers' Zoo and Sonsbeek Park deserve a day before hitting the road.
Anywhere Campers covers every need there, from a van for a couple to a family motorhome. Short distances let you vary the stages without long days at the wheel, and the nearness of Germany adds the Lower Rhine to the programme. From May to September, the climate is best suited to days outdoors and bike rides.
