These highlights await you when you rent a camper van in Madrid

One problem RV rental holidaymakers may have when arriving in Madrid is bringing themselves to leave the city because there is so much to see. Before getting into your campervan and heading out into the beautiful Spanish countryside, it’s worth taking some time to see some of the remarkable sights on offer within Madrid itself.

Once you leave the city, the Spanish countryside will soon unroll before you. Spain is part of the Mediterranean basin and enjoys especially warm weather. Indeed, if you were to head south towards the region of Andalusia, you’d be advised to pack plenty of suncream and big hats, as there aren’t many days in the year when the weather is not sunny and hot.

This makes Madrid particularly suitable as a starting point for your road trip

If you are looking to rent a campervan to explore Spain, Madrid is an ideal spot to start from. Located pretty much in the centre of the country, it is almost equally convenient to set out for any part of Spain. It is also the largest city in the country, making it easy to travel to when flying in from another country and, of course, to find one of our rental partners to pick up your camper hire.

From this starting point, the entirety of what Spain has to offer is at your disposal. You can reach any of Spain’s beautiful coasts in around 5 hours or less if you drive straight there, but driving straight there would mean passing by hundreds of stunning locations that are worth your time.

Camper van hire: Useful information for a trip through Madrid

To hire a campervan in Spain, you will need to be at least 21 years old and have a valid driving licence from your country of origin. You will also need a credit card to pay the deposit for the camper.
