Campervans and motorhomes for hire in Kerry
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 Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula’s Slea Head Drive are narrow, busy with coach traffic in peak season, and simply unsuitable for the largest motorhomes in places, so a 2 or 4-berth is by far the easier choice. 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 July and August costs noticeably more than spring or autumn. Enter your dates on the search page for a real price near Kerry rather than a generic average — see motorhome hire prices for more on what moves it.
Where to collect a campervan in Kerry
Vehicles are listed across Killarney and Tralee, with owners further out towards Killorglin and Dingle. A 30–50 mile radius in the search widens your choice considerably if you are starting from a smaller town.
Best road trips in Kerry
- The Ring of Kerry — about 110 miles as a loop from Killarney, 2–3 days. Coastal cliffs, the Kerry mountains and boat trips to the Skellig Islands from Portmagee; go early to beat the coach traffic.
- The Dingle Peninsula — smaller and quieter than the Ring of Kerry, with Slea Head Drive’s cliffs and beehive huts, 1–2 days.
- Killarney National Park — on Killarney’s doorstep, a half-day or overnight. Lakes, red deer and the Gap of Dunloe.
- The Skellig Ring — a quieter alternative loop off the Ring of Kerry near Portmagee, 1–2 days.
- Rossbeigh and Glenbeigh — on the Ring of Kerry itself, a half-day. A Blue Flag beach facing Dingle Bay.
Campsites in Kerry
- Fleming’s White Bridge Caravan and Camping Park, Killarney — an award-winning site close to Killarney National Park and the town centre.
- Fossa Caravan and Camping Park, Killarney — overlooking the MacGillycuddy Reeks, five minutes’ walk from Lough Leane.
- Glenross Caravan and Camping Park, Glenbeigh — on the Ring of Kerry itself, facing the Blue Flag Rossbeigh beach.
When to travel
July and August are busiest and dearest, and the Ring of Kerry in particular gets heavy coach traffic — reserve three to four months ahead for those dates. May, June and September are quieter, often drier, and far more relaxed for driving the Ring.

Campervan and motorhome hire in Kerry — FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Kerry?
It depends mainly on the vehicle size, the season and how long you hire for. A small camper van is consistently the cheapest option and a large motorhome the most expensive; booking in July and 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 Kerry. See motorhome hire prices for more on what moves the price.
What size campervan should I take on the Ring of Kerry?
A 2 or 4-berth is the easier choice — the road is narrow in places and busy with coach traffic in peak season. Large motorhomes are legally restricted from parts of the route at certain times, so check current guidance before booking a 6-berth.
Where can I pick up a campervan in Kerry?
Owners list vehicles across Killarney and Tralee, with more towards Killorglin and Dingle. A 30–50 mile radius in the search widens your choice from a smaller town.
Can I drive a motorhome on a normal car licence?
Yes, for almost all of them. A full UK or Irish 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 in Kerry?
Yes — many owners set their vans up for dogs, which suits Killarney National Park and the coastal walking well. Filter for pet-friendly vehicles and check the owner’s policy. See dog-friendly campervan hire.
How far in advance should I book?
For July and August, three to four months ahead — the closest vehicles and the Ring of Kerry’s campsites go first. Outside the school holidays, a few weeks is usually enough.
