Campervans and motorhomes for hire near Brighton
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. Sussex’s roads are easy going for any size of vehicle. See camper van hire and motorhome hire.
Price follows the same pattern wherever you hire: the smallest camper van is consistently the cheapest 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.

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.
Are there dog-friendly campervans near Brighton?

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.
