If you are looking to rent a campervan in Scotland you can enjoy amazing rates and availability with some of the most popular fleet of campervan hire Scotland offers.
Scotland is a beautiful and welcoming country, the perfect ingredients for an unforgettable campervan trip. The roads are quiet and it's one of the few countries in the world where you can wild camp in a lot of areas. If anything, one reason you'll enjoy the comfort of having your own campervan is while it is beautiful, Scotland does tend to rain a fair bit of the time (quite softly and soothingly, we will add though). This won't spoil the view but it will make it easier to visit various landmarks, rather than having to walk around in a tour group or stuck on a bus with no leg room. You've also got the comforts of a hot drink to enjoy at anytime.
Given that a lot of Scotland is rural, the roads can be narrow but not in all parts and as soon as you set off on your journey you'll quickly get used to the roads.
What makes Scotland one of the best places to hire a campervan is that once you do, you don't necessarily have to stay in campgrounds. If you enjoy a sense of freedom, you can park anywhere overnight unless there is a specific restriction. If you don't enjoy living out of a suitcase and lugging it from hotel to hotel, if you love the freedom & ability to cook and eat your own food wherever you like, then this is the holiday for you. Campervan holidays are all about going where you want, when you want and meeting unique locals and other travellers, which is a truly special experience. Parking by a river and swimming in waterfalls - absolute heaven, and that's just the start!
As an overview, expect to pay around £6 for quick takeaway food or about £10 for a pub lunch. A mid-range restaurant meal will set you back about £25 while a high-end meal will cost around £50. Petrol prices are around 15p per mile.

This famous destination is breathtaking.

Historic castles, charming fishing villages and quaint pubs are worth the drive up here. Warm the soul with a local malt whisky and get to know some of the locals.
Modern 18-hole golf is claimed to have started in Scotland and if you love the sport or just love history and magnificent architecture, the R&A as it's known, is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in the world. It's not cheap to play a round here (though nowhere near as expensive as Pebble Beach) but even walking around and enjoying a tea and cake is an experience. Enjoy views of the sea or watch others tee off at the "home of golf".
Scotland's largest lake is a short drive northwest of Glasgow and here you can hike, take a boat ride, fish, or simply take in the peaceful scenery.
