RV rental prices by country (2026 comparison)
Motorhome and campervan rental prices compared by country: France, Germany, Spain, Scandinavia, Iceland, the USA and Canada. Table plus the fees to watch.
How much does an RV rental cost from one country to the next? Vehicle type, season and platform matter more than the destination itself, but the gaps between markets are real. Here are realistic daily high-season ranges, and how to read them without getting caught out.

Why the gaps exist
Germany, Spain and Portugal combine large fleets with fierce competition, making them western Europe’s cheapest markets. Scandinavia and Iceland stack a short season, limited fleets and a high cost of living. In the US and Canada the daily rate looks comparable, but the structure differs: mileage is often billed on top (around $0.35/mile with the professional firms), vehicles are bigger (25-32 ft) and thirstier, and one-way fees run $300-800 on classics like Chicago-Los Angeles or Calgary-Vancouver. The UK adds its own twist: right-hand-drive fleets and narrow lanes keep compact campervans in favour, and their prices firm.
The fees that reshuffle the ranking
Always compare the total price: platform service fees, cleaning packages (€60-150), included mileage, insurance and deductible reduction (€15-30/day), sometimes bedding and kitchen kits. A country that looks cheaper per day can end up dearer once those lines are added — the full breakdown is in our RV rental prices guide.
