Every vehicle is listed by its owner — private owners and local rental businesses — and booked through our partner Outdoorsy, with insurance and payment protection on every booking.
Campervans and motorhomes for hire near Leicester
The choice runs from 2-berth camper vans — a converted van that sleeps two and drives much like a large car — to 6-berth motorhomes with a full kitchen and bathroom. A berth is a sleeping space, so a 4-berth sleeps four.
The Peak District’s Derwent Valley roads suit a 2 or 4-berth better than a large motorhome; Rutland Water’s roads are gentler and fine for any size. See camper van hire and motorhome hire.
Price follows the same pattern wherever you hire: the smallest camper van is consistently the lowest-cost option, a 6-berth motorhome the most expensive, and the price per night usually drops the longer you book for. Booking in the school holidays, especially August, costs noticeably more than spring or autumn.

Campervan and motorhome hire in Leicester — FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Leicester?
It depends mainly on the vehicle size, the season and how long you hire for. A small camper van is consistently the lowest-cost option and a large motorhome the most expensive; booking in the school holidays, especially August, costs noticeably more than spring or autumn; and the price per night usually drops the longer you book for. Enter your dates on the search page to see live prices from vehicles near Leicester. See motorhome hire prices for more on what moves the price.
Where can I pick up a campervan near Leicester?
Owners list vehicles across Leicester and into the wider Leicestershire region. A 20–35 mile radius in the search shows the full choice.
Are there dog-friendly campervans near Leicester?
Yes — many East Midlands owners set their vans up for dogs, useful for the Peak District and Rutland Water walks. Filter for pet-friendly vehicles and check the owner’s policy. See dog-friendly campervan hire.
What does “fully insured” cover?
Motor insurance for the named driver or drivers is arranged as part of the booking, so you do not organise cover separately. 24/7 roadside assistance is an optional extra you can add when you book. The damage excess and the refundable security deposit are set out on the listing and in the rental agreement before you pay. Terms vary by owner.
Can I drive a motorhome on a normal car licence?
Yes, for almost all of them. A full UK car licence covers vehicles up to 3,500 kg — every camper van and most 2 to 6-berth motorhomes. The listing flags any that need a C1 licence.
How far in advance should I book?
For summer, three to four months ahead — the nearest vehicles go first. Off-season, a few weeks is usually enough.
