RV rental in Germany: every city compared
Europe's biggest motorhome market, Germany is the easiest place to rent: deep professional fleets, Stellplätze by the thousands for overnight stops, impeccable roads from the Black Forest to the Baltic. Munich and the Romantic Road, the Moselle vineyards, Berlin and the Brandenburg lakes: each city opens a different loop. Van-Comparator compares the major platforms live across Germany's ten main cities.
When to go in Germany
The land of the Stellplatz: thousands of dedicated motorhome stopovers make overnighting easy, and RV culture reigns. Avoid the May bank-holiday bridges and the school summer holidays, both very busy.

What research says
- Self-drive tourists decide much of their route on the road, day by day: rental supply at the starting point matters more than the planned itinerary — Becken & Wilson (2007), Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing, doi:10.1300/j073v20n03_04
- On a price comparison site, gaps between sellers of the same product stay large and persistent: comparing is not redundant even when the market looks transparent — Baye, Morgan & Scholten (2004), The Journal of Industrial Economics, doi:10.1111/j.0022-1821.2004.00236.x
