Rent your RV directly from the airport or city center of many British destinations, such as London, Edinburgh, Chester, and many more. Authentik also offers car rental services in the UK for maximum flexibility.

To rent an RV in the UK, you must present a valid driver's license from your home country that was obtained at least 12 months ago, your passport, and your credit card.

A regular driver’s license is sufficient for motorhomes under 3.5 tons, otherwise, you will need a truck class driver’s license.

If your driver's license is European, it is valid for car rentals in the UK. Nonetheless, for more assurance, obtaining an international driver's license may be compelling, especially if yours is not written in English. Watch out! The international license does not replace your original driver’s license, it only complements it. You must have both documents with you at all times.

Moreover, it is very important to review the Highway Code of the country of your destination. For example, in the UK... we drive on the left! 

In some countries, foreign drivers must have an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is valid for 1 to 3 years. It's an official translation of your driver's license in a dozen languages and you can use it in over 150 countries! 

It can be required or simply recommended depending on the country.

Before renting an RV, make sure that the primary driver and additional driver(s) are the required age to rent a vehicle.

The minimum age varies from one renter to another.

Here are the minimum age requirements depending on the renter:

Apollo: 21 years old
Bunk Campers: 21 years old
Spaceships Rental: 21 years old
Justgo: 25 years old
McRent: 25 years old

Every year, many travelers find themselves unable to rent an RV, due to the lack of availability.

Undoubtedly, this form of travel is very popular and unfortunately, the demand is greater than the supply, especially during high season.

If you want to hire a vehicle during the months of July and August, book early (at least six months in advance), since it is our high season. Sometimes reservations open up to 1 year in advance and this can greatly affect the price of your trip.

Finally, it is also better to book your RV before buying your plane tickets, especially if you require a one-way and/or high season rental.

Book early!

Depending on the country visited, we recommend to prioritize a period in which temperatures are mild. 

July and August are the most recommended, however they are also the most requested. This means that availability is very limited. If you choose this season, plan to book your vehicle at least six months in advance to ensure availability.

Travelling outside of school holidays can be pleasant as there are far fewer travelers and rental prices are very competitive.

In the United Kingdom, you can travel by motorhome in a comfortable way from May to September. That being said, it is England, therefore, always plan a raincoat... just in case! 

Here are the penalties that you should expect if you cancel your RV rental following a reservation:

• 61 days or more before departure: 20% of the price
• Between 60 and 46 days before departure : 25% of the price
• Between 45 and 15 days before departure: 50% of the price
• Less than 15 days before departure: 100% of the price

One-way rental fees, if applicable, are due in full when your reservation is made.

However, it is possible to subscribe to a cancellation protection in order to avoid all these costs in case of an unforeseen event. This cancellation protection is exclusively offered on our RV rental comparison tool and is part of the advantages of renting your RV through Authentik.

Car seat regulations vary from country to country. You must always check the road safety regulations, for your child's safety, for the country that you reside in and/or for the countries you are visiting. For example, in the UK, the child must be 135cm tall or 12 years old. Meanwhile, in other European countries such as Ireland or Germany, children must use a car seat until they reach 150cm or are 12 years old.

If your seat meets these standards, bring it with you! It's free to bring with most airlines and your child will be comfortable and feeling right at home.

Otherwise, you will have to consider renting a child seat with your vehicle. This option will be payable in advance or at the counter, depending on the rental companies.

Please note that not all RV rental companies offer this option.
