Maximising Your Earnings


Renting out your camper is a great way to offset the purchase and running costs while making extra income. To see your potential earnings, visit our online earnings calculator for a personalised estimate based on your vehicle type, rental frequency, and pricing strategy.

As the owner, you have full control over:

  • How often and for how long you rent out your vehicle.
  • Who you choose to rent to.
  • The nightly rate, which can be adjusted based on demand and seasonality.

Payments are processed 24 hours after you hand over your vehicle to the traveller. Additionally, we verify drivers to ensure they have the necessary experience and documentation.

You are always free to accept or decline any booking request—it’s your vehicle, and you decide who takes it on the road.

 

What Rate Should I Set?


The rate you charge is entirely up to you, but we recommend considering the following factors:

  • Age and condition of the vehicle – Newer, well-maintained campers typically command higher rates.
  • Sleeping capacity and amenities – A fully-equipped camper that sleeps more people will generally be more valuable.
  • Rental duration – Offering discounts for longer hires can attract more bookings.
  • Seasonality – Demand is highest in spring and summer, so rates can be adjusted accordingly, while lower rates may help attract renters in the quieter months of October to March.
     

Typical Rental Rates


A typical rental rate for a five-year-old VW campervan with four berths ranges from £75 to £135 per night, equating to £525 to £945 per week. For a motorhome, nightly rates range from £95 to £150, bringing in up to £1,050 per week.

 

Turn Your Camper into an Income Stream


Rather than letting your camper sit unused in the driveway, renting it out can help cover insurance, servicing, and maintenance costs. Studies suggest that many campervan owners only use their vehicle four times a year—so why not put it to work the rest of the time and maximise your earnings?
