Anywhere Campers RotterdamRotterdamView map
Campervan hire in Rotterdam opens the gateway to the delta, where the Rhine and the Meuse meet the North Sea. After the Erasmus Bridge, the Cube Houses and the Markthal, the road heads for the windmills of Kinderdijk, the Zeeland islands and their storm surge barriers, the creeks of the Biesbosch or, across the border, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, offers both campervans for two and family motorhomes.
Europe's largest port, the city is also a laboratory of modern architecture, best explored on foot or by water taxi along the Nieuwe Maas before heading to dune beaches less than an hour's drive away.

- Brielle
- Ouddorp
- Renesse
- Neeltje Jans
- Veere
- Domburg
- Vlissingen
- Rotterdam
Along the A15 and the port basins, you reach the island of Voorne and Brielle, a small fortified town ringed by bastions and canals. The dunes of Ouddorp open onto the North Sea; the Brouwersdam leads to Renesse, then the Eastern Scheldt barrier at Neeltje Jans, where a park explains the great Delta Works. Veere and its harbour, Domburg and the seafront promenade of Vlissingen complete the loop.

2 Kinderdijk, the Biesbosch and the fortified towns of the Merwede
- Rotterdam
- Kinderdijk
- Dordrecht
- Biesbosch
- Woudrichem
- Gorinchem
- Heusden
- Rotterdam
The UNESCO-listed windmills of Kinderdijk are best discovered on foot or by bike along the canals, early in the morning. Dordrecht, the oldest town in Holland, comes before the Biesbosch National Park, a maze of creeks and willows to explore by canoe. Woudrichem, Loevestein Castle and Gorinchem, strongholds of the Dutch Water Line, lead to Heusden and its ramparts on the Meuse.
The dyke roads are narrow and winding: a campervan or camper van gets along them more easily.

After Breda and its castle, the motorway crosses the border to Antwerp, its cathedral and its monumental railway station. Ghent combines a belfry, canals and student life; Bruges and the village of Damme, at the end of a poplar-lined canal, are best visited by bike. The return runs through Zeelandic Flanders and passes under the Western Scheldt through a long tunnel, up to the orchards of Zuid-Beveland.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Rotterdam?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 18 to 22 °C, lows 9 to 13 °C
The ideal time to set off from Rotterdam: long days, Zeeland coastal campsites open without the summer crowds, and the beaches of Ouddorp and Domburg pleasant in fine weather. The sea stays cool and showers are brief; in early September, World Port Days bring the quays of the Meuse to life.
High season
Peak season in July and August
July to August
highs 22 to 23 °C, lows 14 to 15 °C
High summer fills the campsites of Zeeland and Goeree-Overflakkee, very popular with families from all over north-western Europe. Book your vehicle and pitches early. Days are mild rather than hot: it is the season for kitesurfing on Lake Grevelingen and for terraces on the city's quays.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 3 to 10 °C
Cool and windy months, October being the wettest of the year. Coastal campsites reopen in spring, migrating birds stop in the Biesbosch and the Flemish cities can be visited without queues: a good time for the loop to Antwerp and Bruges.
Winter
Winter, from November to February
November to February
highs 7 to 10 °C, lows 2 to 5 °C
The delta in winter is grey, damp and windy, with little sunshine, but it rarely freezes. Many Zeeland campsites close; rely on those that stay open near the cities, on Rotterdam's museums, such as the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, and on the Christmas markets of Dordrecht or Ghent.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Avoid the ring road at rush hour
Rotterdam's ring road, made up of the A20, A16, A15 and A4, is one of the busiest in the country, especially on the Van Brienenoord Bridge. Heading west, the A15 crosses the port among heavy lorries all the way to Europoort. Set off mid-morning or at the weekend, and plan your route before leaving the depot.
Visit the city without the motorhome
In the centre, underground car parks have height limits and street parking is expensive and narrow. Leave the vehicle in a park-and-ride at the end of a metro line, such as Kralingse Zoom in the east, and reach Blaak, the Markthal and the Cube Houses in a few stops. Water taxis then link the Erasmus Bridge to Hotel New York.
Sleeping in Rotterdam and on the coast
Wild camping and sleeping in the vehicle on public roads are banned in the Netherlands. In the city, Stadscamping Rotterdam, in the Blijdorp district near the zoo, welcomes motorhomes; on the coasts of Voorne and Goeree, campsites and the camperplaatsen of marinas take over.
Zero-emission zone for commercial vehicles
Since 2025, central Rotterdam has been a zero-emission zone for city logistics: fossil-fuelled delivery vans and lorries are being phased out. Vehicles registered as motorhomes are not affected in principle, but a converted van may be, depending on its registration: ask the rental company to confirm and check the rules in force.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Rotterdam
Where can I pick up a campervan in Rotterdam?
Our partner company in the city is Anywhere Campers, with a depot in Rotterdam whose exact address and meeting time are given in your confirmation. For a wider choice, other companies hand over their vehicles in The Hague, about twenty kilometres away, and in Utrecht and Houten, less than fifty kilometres away as the crow flies.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Rotterdam?
There is no single rate: the price changes with the season, the number of days and the vehicle chosen, and the gap is significant between winter and the summer holidays on the Zeeland coast. Enter your dates in the search to see the offers available from Rotterdam, mandatory fees included, ready to book straight away.
Which models can I hire from Rotterdam?
The offers we found include the Van for 2, a two-berth camper van, the Carado T-447 for four people, the Adria Matrix M670SL and the Sunlight T 68 for five, and the Sunlight A70, an over-cab model that sleeps six. Most come with a manual or automatic gearbox; the Adria Matrix is available in Axess and Plus versions.
Can I take the ferry to England from Rotterdam?
Two routes leave from the area: Stena Line links Hook of Holland with Harwich, and P&O Ferries runs an overnight crossing between Europoort and Hull. Before booking, get the rental company's written consent and check that the insurance covers the United Kingdom, where you drive on the left. Entry formalities depend on your nationality.
Can I return the vehicle in The Hague, Utrecht or Amsterdam?
These three cities, like Amersfoort, Houten and Arnhem, are also departure cities of our partners. A one-way trip is only possible if the rental company accepts it, often for an extra fee: enter the return city when searching to display only compatible offers, fee included. Arnhem, for example, lets you end the trip on the edge of the Veluwe.

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 Rotterdam
What licence do I need to hire a motorhome in the Netherlands?
A category B licence allows you to drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight, a limit met by the campervans and most of the motorhomes offered in Rotterdam. A licence issued outside the European Union sometimes has to be accompanied by an international driving permit. The rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, stated in the offer.
How do I get to Rotterdam from the airport?
From Schiphol, direct trains reach Rotterdam Centraal in about half an hour. The small Rotterdam The Hague Airport, north of the city, is linked to the central station by a regular bus. International trains from Brussels and Paris also stop at Rotterdam Centraal. Agree with the rental company on the time for handing over the vehicle.
Are there tolls around Rotterdam?
Dutch motorways are free for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, with no vignette. Two structures in the region are exceptions: the Kiltunnel, between Dordrecht and the Hoeksche Waard, and the Western Scheldt Tunnel, in Zeeland, both charged at each crossing. In Belgium, motorways are also free for a motorhome of this weight.
Can I drive to Belgium with a motorhome hired in Rotterdam?
Antwerp is about an hour's drive away and most rental companies allow Belgium, to be checked in the offer conditions. Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels have low-emission zones monitored by cameras: depending on the vehicle and its registration, prior registration may be required. Check the rules in force before entering these cities.
When should I book a motorhome in Rotterdam?
For July and August, the Dutch school holidays and the North Sea Jazz festival, which fills the city, mean booking several months ahead. The long weekends of Ascension and Whitsun are also in high demand. The rest of the year, a few weeks are usually enough, except for a specific model such as the Sunlight A70 with automatic gearbox.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Rotterdam
Rotterdam lies at the heart of the delta of the Rhine, the Meuse and the Scheldt, a land where water has shaped every landscape: Zeeland islands linked by giant barriers, polders and windmills of the Alblasserwaard, wild creeks of the Biesbosch, dune beaches close by. The Belgian border is not far, so Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges can be added to the same trip, and ferries to England leave from the edge of the city.
Anywhere Campers, our partner company on site, offers vehicles ranging from two-berth campervans to six-seat family motorhomes. The Hague, Utrecht and Amsterdam, other departure cities of our partners, offer one-way options. Finally, from May to September, the mild air and the late evening light are perfect for stops on the dykes and beaches.
