Enter your Limerick postcode on the search page, set a collection radius, and you will see insured campervans and motorhomes from owners and operators across the county.
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 in Limerick
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 main routes out of Limerick City towards Adare, the Glen of Aherlow and the N-roads are fine for any size; a 2 or 4-berth becomes the easier choice once you head into the Ballyhoura or Galtee foothills. 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 Limerick rather than a generic average — see motorhome hire prices for more on what moves it.

Vehicles are listed across Limerick City and out towards Adare, Kilcornan and the county’s rural south. A 30–50 mile radius in the search widens your choice considerably if you are starting from a smaller town.

Where can I pick up a campervan in Limerick?
Owners list vehicles across Limerick City and out towards Adare and Kilcornan. 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.
Is Limerick a good base for the Ring of Kerry?
Yes — it is a natural staging point on the way from the east or north of Ireland, about two hours from Killarney by the main roads. See the dedicated Kerry page for the route itself.
Are there dog-friendly campervans in Limerick?
Yes — many owners set their vans up for dogs, which suits Curraghchase and the Glen of Aherlow’s walking trails 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 go first. Outside the school holidays, a few weeks is usually enough.
