About motorhome hire on Escape RV Rentals

Motorhome hire across the UK and Europe means left-hand or right-hand drive rigs from 4-berth panel vans to luxury A-class coaches. Popular pick-up hubs include London, Edinburgh, Paris, Munich, and Barcelona — many operators allow one-way drops in another country for a surcharge.

Driving in the UK vs continental Europe

UK motorhomes are typically right-hand drive with manual transmission common. Continental Europe offers both RHD/LHD depending on depot — confirm before crossing the Channel. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes differ by country; our driving-rules guides summarise France, Germany, and UK limits.

Aires, stellplatz, and campsite culture

France and Germany have extensive motorhome service points (aires/stellplatz); wild camping is restricted in many alpine regions. UK motorhome hire often pairs with Caravan and Motorhome Club or independent sites — book August peak early.
