10 Best Campervan Rentals In London

If you live in England and call the capital your home, then you might find this list of the best campervan rentals in London pretty useful for your next off grid adventure. More and more people are opting to give van life a try, with the Van Clan office receiving tonnes of emails every single day about what is the best van to live in, which are the best van life travel spots, and what the van life costs might be in renting a camper and hitting the open road.

If you’re a camper owner that is living the van life full time, as a weekend warrior, or just happy with heading out once or twice over the course of the year, then you’ll know that cutting out the accommodation part of your holiday can leave you with more money in your pocket for exciting activities such buying the more expensive cheese in the supermarket or getting a takeaway pizza once in a while (or maybe that’s just me). Renting a campervan is, more often than not, cheaper than booking a hotel and gives you the freedom to head out and enjoy the country that you’re intending to visit. Don’t worry if you’re not quite sure how to rent an RV; we’ve done the hard work for you!

So, if you’re looking to find a campervan rental in London and need a little help, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve teamed up with Outdoorsy to showcase 10 of the best vehicles that we’ve found to rent in the big smoke! The game is afoot, Dr. Watson!

1. 1979 VW T2 Bus – ‘Beau’

If you’re looking for the quintessential So-Cal van life experience, then this little beau-ty will be right up your street. The first vehicle on our list of the best campervan rentals in London might just be one of the coolest-looking retro busses on the roads today, full of life and character that will wholeheartedly enhance your holiday. Just look at that two-tone paint job; it’s the stuff that dreams are made of!

Beau is fully-kitted-out pop top camper and a real head turner to boot. The bespoke Union Jack floor and matching pop-top roof will give any visitors to Britain or patriotic travellers a real sense of the Queen’s hospitality, and the spacious headroom that the VW’s signature pop-top provides will give even the tallest vanlifers room to wield their top cooking accessories with ease.

The stunning 1979 Volkswagen Bus Camper comes complete with a rock and roll bed for two that can be converted into a sofa during the day. It is both pet and festival-friendly and comes with an allowance of 200 miles per day. You’ll get a stress-free ride thanks to the newly reconditioned engine, and Beau is fitted out with a cooker, fridge, ceiling fan, bike rack, roof rack, heater and much much more. It’s got everything including the kitchen sink!

2. Fiat Ducato L3H2 – ‘Atlas’

If you’re searching for campervan rental in London and have something a little bigger than a VW Bus in mind, then this Fiat Ducato camper has everything that you could possibly need and more tucked away inside. You won’t need a map with Atlas as your travelling companion (see what we did there), and the open road will feel as luxurious as your own home.

Atlas is incredibly spacious and comes with a bathroom area complete with toilet and shower. Now you can stay clean on the go without having to worry about finding lakes or hot springs (although that’s one of the best parts of travelling in a van!) All bookings in Atlas come with unlimited Km and road assistance, so you can travel without worrying about getting stuck in the mud or breaking down on the go.

Atlas comes with a 90l fuel tank and lots of amenities to make life on the road a breeze. Crank up the oven if you want to make some cakes or fresh bread, or throw a ready-meal into the microwave if you’re feeling lazy. Heating and air-conditioning make this camper perfect for seasonal use, and the reversing camera is a nice little touch for anyone who isn’t used to driving a 7-metre long vehicle. Atlas sleeps four and is available to book for your next trip!

This 19′ Crafter can sleep four people, though you’ll have to fight over who gets the raised sleeping area complete with star-gazing skylight. Renters will have access to a shower and toilet area, a hob and a microwave oven for cooking, plus plenty of storage for clothes, books, games, and food for their favourite van life recipes. This camper comes with a TV and DVD player as well as an inverter for charging devices up on the go. It even has a generator and comes with 4 hours usage-per-day included in the cost.

10. 2011 VW T5 Bus – ‘Santiago’
