Motorhome Hire in Wales: Family Motorhomes, 4 to 7 Berth

Looking for local hire near Cardiff, Swansea or Newport? See motorhome and campervan hire in South Wales.

Wales was made for a motorhome. Three national parks, two coastlines and a lot of mountain road in between, all within a couple of hours of our depot in Bridgend, just off the M4 between Cardiff and Swansea. You collect the van from us, go through a proper handover with someone who knows every switch in it, and by evening you can be parked up under Pen y Fan or above a Gower beach with the kettle on. This page is for families and groups who want a real motorhome, with fixed beds, a proper bathroom and seats for everyone, rather than a compact camper. If you are a couple travelling light, our campervan hire in Wales page is the better read.

Hire a motorhome in Wales from Bridgend

We are a small, family-run hire company, not a broker, so the van you book online is the van you get, and the person handing it over is one of us. Every motorhome comes fully equipped: kitchen with crockery and cutlery, hob, heating and hot water, shower and toilet. Bring your own bedding, pillows and towels. Collection is between 3 and 5 pm. From March to October returns are between 9 and 11 am, and a morning collection or an afternoon return can be added for £70. From November to February both collection and return are between 3 and 5 pm, at no extra cost. Your car stays in our car park for free while you are away. Coming from further afield?

4-berth, 6-berth and 7-berth motorhomes for families

Six of our eight vans sleep four, which suits a family with two children or two couples. Anna and Alys are Auto-Trail coachbuilts on a shorter wheelbase, the easiest big van to drive if this is your first trip. Bella and Bethan are Bailey Adamos with drop-down beds, so nobody has to make up a bed at night. Luna is an Adria with a fixed over-cab double, a second double at the back and five travel seats.

For bigger families the choice is Robyn, a 6-berth with a drop-down double and two fixed bunks at the rear, or Crystal, the only 7-berth in the fleet, with seven belted seats so everyone travels together. Every van except Robyn is automatic. Compare all eight on the fleet page or check dates on the booking site.

Three routes from our door: Gower, Pembrokeshire and the Brecon Beacons

Bridgend sits at the hinge of the three regions people come to Wales for.

Gower is under an hour west: Rhossili Bay and Worm’s Head, Three Cliffs, Oxwich and Port Eynon, and Mumbles for ice cream on the way home. Our Gower long-weekend guide has a day-by-day plan with campsites for each night.

Pembrokeshire is the big one: Tenby and Saundersfoot in the south, the St Davids peninsula and Whitesands, the Preseli Hills and the quieter north coast. Give it a week and follow our South Wales and Pembrokeshire 10-day tour, or carry on up the coast with the West Wales 10-day grand tour.

The Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) are about an hour north: waterfall country around Ystradfellte, Pen y Fan, and some of the darkest skies in Britain. The Brecon Beacons long-weekend guide covers a three-night loop, and the Wye Valley and Monmouthshire weekend adds Tintern, Raglan and Abergavenny.

Going north? Eryri (Snowdonia) is a good week’s trip from here: see our 7-day Eryri adventure. For where to stop each night, our map of 630+ campsites in Wales lets you filter by region and book.

Dog-friendly motorhome hire

Every van in the fleet takes dogs. The pet add-on is a one-off £25 cleaning and preparation fee, not a nightly charge. Many Welsh beaches have dog-friendly stretches all year, and the campsites on our map show which welcome pets. More on the pet-friendly motorhome hire page.

What it costs and what is included

Prices start from £110 a night off-peak and are higher in school holidays and the summer; the booking site shows each van’s price for your dates before you pay. The minimum hire is three nights. The price includes the fully equipped van, the handover and free parking for your car. A refundable security deposit of £1,200 is held on your card, not charged. Optional extras include Starlink satellite internet at £10 a day, European Travel cover at £10 a day if you take the van to Ireland or the Continent, and an outdoor table and chairs.

First time in a motorhome? Read our first-timer tips and driving advice. Every van is under 3,500 kg, so a normal car licence is all you need, and the handover covers hook-up, water, waste and the heating before you leave. Got a question about a van, a route or what to pack? Ask Knotty, the assistant on our booking site, at any time of day.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special licence to hire a motorhome in Wales?

No. Every motorhome in our fleet is under 3,500 kg, so a standard UK car licence (category B) is enough. Drivers must be 25 to 70, have held their licence for at least two years and have no more than six points.

How much does motorhome hire in Wales cost?

Prices start from £110 a night off-peak and are higher in school holidays and the summer. The booking site shows the price for your van and dates before you pay. The minimum hire is three nights, and a £1,200 refundable deposit is held on your card, not charged.

Can I wild camp in a motorhome in Wales?

Not as a right. There is no legal right to wild camp in Wales and most council car parks ban overnight sleeping. Use campsites, certificated locations and pub stopovers instead; our campsite map lists more than 630 you can book.

Which motorhome is best for a family of five or six?

Robyn (6-berth, a drop-down double plus two fixed bunks) or Crystal (7-berth with seven belted seats). For a family of four, Luna’s five travel seats give a spare seat, and Bella or Bethan’s drop-down beds save making beds up each night.

Where do I collect the motorhome?

From our depot in Bridgend, CF31 2AY, just off the M4, around 45 to 60 minutes from Bristol and about half an hour from Cardiff or Swansea. Collection is between 3 and 5 pm and your car parks with us for free.
