Enter your Perth postcode on the search page, set a collection radius, and you will see insured campervans and motorhomes from owners and operators across Perthshire.
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 near Perth
The choice runs from 2-berth camper vans — a converted van that sleeps two and drives 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.
For the single-track glen roads north and west of Perth, a 2 or 4-berth is the easier choice for a first trip. 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. Enter your dates on the search page for a real price near Perth rather than a generic average — see motorhome hire prices for more on what moves it.

When to travel
July and August are busiest and dearest, and the closest vans book first — reserve three to four months ahead. May, June and September are quieter, with the glen roads clearer and fewer midges than high summer.

Where can I pick up a campervan near Perth?
Owners list vehicles across Perth and Kinross and into Angus and Fife — Scone, Blairgowrie, Crieff. A 20–35 mile radius in the search shows the full choice.
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.
Is Perth a good base for the North Coast 500?
It can work as a first or last night on the way to or from Inverness, about two hours north, but the loop itself is defined as starting and finishing at Inverness. Most people either start there directly or use Perth as a stopover.
Are there dog-friendly campervans near Perth?
Yes — many Perthshire owners set their vans up for dogs, which suits the glens and hill walking. Filter for pet-friendly vehicles and check the owner’s policy. See dog-friendly campervan hire.
What does “fully insured” cover?
Motor insurance for the named driver or drivers and breakdown assistance are arranged as part of the booking — you do not organise cover separately. The damage excess and the refundable security deposit are set out on the listing and in the rental agreement before you pay. Terms vary by owner.
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.
