Rent a motorhome privately

May 12, 2023

Just drive off and stop wherever it's most beautiful? On vacation with a motorhome, the journey is the destination. No other form of travel offers so much flexibility and freedom. Motorhomes have been in great demand for several years now. But what if you don't own your own motorhome? One option is to rent a motorhome privately.

Renting motorhomes privately offers many advantages. On the one hand, it is often cheaper than renting from a commercial rental company. Secondly, it is also more flexible, as you can communicate directly with the landlord and make individual arrangements. It is important to make sure that the rental company is reputable and to find out about the services and conditions offered in advance.

What types of motorhomes can I rent privately?

Would you like to take a motorhome to Scandinavia and spend a few days in the great outdoors? You can also find suitable vehicles for such plans on the private market. Motorhomes from private owners are often very well equipped. Special facilities such as solar panels or an outdoor shower are difficult to find on the commercial rental market. If you want more space in your motorhome, you won't always find what you're looking for with commercial rental companies, which tend to specialize in small camper vans and sprinters. Especially in the high season, the limited supply is quickly booked out. 

Make sure you have adequate insurance

It is important to rent a motorhome from a reputable provider and to make sure you have adequate insurance. One option for private motorhome rental is so-called "sharing". Here, the owner rents out their own motorhome temporarily to other travelers. Providers such as Goboony also offer an insurance solution. If an accident should happen despite all precautions, a 24/7 breakdown service is available and customer service will help with the settlement of the claim. 

Where can I find private landlords in Germany?

Ideally, a vacation starts at the front door! There are now private providers for motorhome rental throughout Germany. You can find motorhomes all over Germany via the sharing platform Goboony. Simply enter your place of residence in the search function and find vehicles in the area directly.
