Campervans and motorhomes for hire in Tipperary
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 Glen of Aherlow’s valley roads and the Galtee foothills are easier in a 2 or 4-berth; the main routes between Cashel, Clonmel and Nenagh are 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 July and August costs noticeably more than spring or autumn. Enter your dates on the search page for a real price near Tipperary rather than a generic average — see motorhome hire prices for more on what moves it.
