Campervans and motorhomes for hire in Roscommon
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.
Roscommon’s main routes are gentle midlands roads with little of the narrow, single-track driving found further west, so most people are comfortable in any size of vehicle here. 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 Roscommon rather than a generic average — see motorhome hire prices for more on what moves it.

Where can I pick up a campervan in Roscommon?
Owners list vehicles across Roscommon Town and Boyle, with more towards Athlone and Lough Ree. 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 Roscommon a good base for a first-time motorhome trip?
Yes — the roads are gentler than the west coast’s mountain and coastal routes, which makes it a relaxed choice for a first hire before tackling somewhere like Mayo or Donegal.
Are there dog-friendly campervans in Roscommon?
Yes — many owners set their vans up for dogs, which suits Lough Key’s woodland 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.
