Campervan Relocation Deals in 2026: What’s Available Right Now

The European campervan relocation market in 2026 is the biggest it’s ever been. More providers, more routes, more variety in vehicles — from compact vans to fully kitted-out motorhomes. If you’ve been curious about campervan relocation but weren’t sure where to start, this is your year. I’ve been tracking the market since 2024, and the number of deals available right now would have been unthinkable two years ago. Here’s a complete breakdown of what’s out there, who’s offering it, and how to get the best deals before they disappear.

The state of campervan relocation in 2026

Let’s start with the big picture. Campervan relocation in Europe has matured from a niche travel hack into a legitimate segment of the rental industry. What changed? Three things.

Fleet sizes exploded. The post-pandemic campervan boom left rental companies with massive fleets. Those vehicles still need repositioning between seasons, and companies are more willing than ever to offer relocation deals rather than pay for professional drivers or transport trucks.

More providers entered the market. In 2023, you were mostly limited to Imoova and a couple of smaller operators. By 2026, five major providers actively list campervan relocation deals across Europe — each with different routes, vehicles, and terms. That competition is good news for travellers.

Routes expanded beyond the obvious. It’s no longer just Lisbon-to-Munich. You can now find relocations across Scandinavia, through the Balkans, and covering UK and Ireland circuits. The map of available routes has genuinely tripled in two years.

The 5 major providers (and what makes each different)

Not all relocation providers are created equal. Each has a different focus, different vehicle types, and different terms. Here’s what you need to know about each one in 2026.

Imoova: the biggest player

Imoova has been in the relocation game longest and it shows. They consistently list the most deals across the widest geography — from Lisbon to Stockholm, Dublin to Rome. Their fleet is mixed: you might get a 2-year-old Volkswagen California or a more basic panel van conversion. The quality varies, but the volume of deals means you almost always have options.

Fuel allowances with Imoova typically cover 60–80% of the route distance, and they offer some of the most generous timeframes. A 1,500 km route might give you 4–5 days, which leaves room for sightseeing stops along the way.

Roadsurfer: the premium option

If you care about the vehicle quality, Roadsurfer is the one to watch. Their fleet consists of modern, well-maintained campervans — think built-in kitchens, proper beds, solar panels, and that new-van smell. The relocation deals they post tend to get snapped up fastest because people know the vans are excellent.

Roadsurfer’s relocation routes focus on their strongest markets: Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. You won’t find them listing routes to Scandinavia or Eastern Europe, but for western European routes, the vehicle quality is hard to beat.

Indie Campers: southern Europe specialist

Indie Campers has carved out a strong niche in southern Europe. Their relocations tend to run between Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy — which means you’re driving through some of Europe’s most scenic countryside. Their vans are a mix of self-converted vehicles and purpose-built campervans, generally a step below Roadsurfer in terms of fit and finish but perfectly functional.

One thing Indie Campers does well is transparency. Their deal listings are clear about what’s included, what the fuel allowance covers, and exactly when and where you need to pick up and drop off. No surprises.

Bunk Campers: UK and Ireland

If your plans are in the UK or Ireland, Bunk Campers is your provider. They specialize in circuit relocations — Edinburgh to London, Dublin to Belfast, London to Edinburgh — that follow the seasonal flow of tourists around the British Isles. Their fleet leans toward larger motorhomes, which means more space and comfort but also higher fuel costs.

Bunk Campers deals are particularly strong in September and October when the UK summer season winds down. They also occasionally post deals for cross-channel moves (London to Paris or vice versa), though these are rarer.

Movacar: the German specialist

Movacar is unique because they do both campervans and regular cars. Their relocation deals are concentrated in Germany and Austria, with occasional routes to neighbouring countries. If you need a one-way drive within Germany — Munich to Hamburg, Berlin to Frankfurt — Movacar often has the cheapest option.

The car relocation option is also worth knowing about. If no campervan deals match your route, a car relocation for €1/day plus fuel can still get you where you need to go.

Hotspot routes in 2026

Based on what I’ve been seeing across all five providers this year, here are the routes that keep appearing — and the ones travellers should have on their radar.

Portugal → France (and beyond)

This is the single most common relocation route in Europe right now. Lisbon or Faro to Paris, Lyon, or Bordeaux. The reason is simple: Portugal is one of Europe’s hottest campervan destinations, and vehicles pile up there through summer. Come autumn, they all need to go north. These routes typically allow 3–5 days for roughly 1,500–2,000 km, which is a beautiful drive through the Spanish interior and over the Pyrenees.

Germany → Italy (spring favourite)

In spring, the flow reverses. German-based rental companies push vehicles south to meet summer demand in Italy and the Mediterranean. Munich to Rome, Hamburg to Milan, Berlin to Venice — these are classic relocation routes that pop up from March through May. The Alpine crossing alone makes this route worth doing.

UK circuits

London to Edinburgh, Edinburgh to London, and Dublin loops. These are shorter routes (400–600 km) but popular because they give you 2–3 days to explore either the English countryside or the Scottish Highlands at almost zero cost. Bunk Campers runs most of these, with Imoova occasionally listing UK routes too.

What “€1/day” really means

Let’s be honest about costs. When you see a relocation deal advertised at €1/day, that’s the rental price for the van. It’s real, and it’s genuinely that cheap. But it’s not the total cost of the trip. Here’s what else you’ll pay for.

Fuel

This is your biggest expense. A campervan doing a 1,500 km route will burn roughly €180–250 in diesel, depending on the vehicle and whether you take motorways or back roads. Some providers include a partial fuel allowance (Imoova often covers €50–100), but you’ll still pay the difference. Want to cut fuel costs? Avoid toll motorways where possible and drive at moderate speeds — 100 km/h instead of 130 km/h makes a noticeable difference in a campervan.

Insurance and deposits

Every provider requires a security deposit, typically €500–1,500, charged to your credit card and refunded after return (assuming no damage). Insurance is usually included in the deal price, covering third-party liability and basic collision. Some providers offer a damage excess reduction for an additional €10–20/day — whether that’s worth it depends on your comfort level and driving confidence.

Tolls

France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy all have toll roads. A Lisbon-to-Paris route via motorways will cost €60–90 in tolls. You can avoid most of these by taking national roads, which adds time but saves money and is often more scenic. In Germany and the UK, motorways are toll-free for cars and campervans.

Total realistic cost

For a typical 3-day, 1,500 km relocation through western Europe, expect to spend €150–350 total, including the van rental, fuel, and tolls. Compare that to a standard campervan rental of €100–150 per day, and you’re saving €300–450 easily. It’s not free travel, but it’s remarkably close.

How to search all providers at once

Here’s the practical problem: each of the five providers lists deals on their own platform, in their own format, with their own update schedule. Checking each one individually is tedious and time-consuming. You’d need to visit five different websites, compare terms, and keep track of what’s new.

That’s exactly why we built Movacamper. It pulls together relocation deals from all five major providers into one place. You can filter by departure city, destination, date range, and provider. When a new deal drops, it shows up on Movacamper within hours.

No account needed. No booking fees. You find the deal on Movacamper, then book directly with the provider. Simple.

8 tips for scoring the best 2026 deals

1. Check frequently, not just once. Deals appear and disappear within days. Make it a habit to check 2–3 times per week during your target travel window. The people who score the best routes are the ones who check regularly.

2. Be flexible on dates. A 2–3 week window gives you dramatically better odds than a fixed date. The difference between finding zero deals and five options is often just a few days of flexibility.

3. Think about your return trip separately. Don’t try to find a round-trip relocation. They almost never exist. Instead, take a relocation one way and figure out the return independently — budget flight, train, or even a second relocation in the opposite direction if the timing is right.

4. Book fast when you find something good. Popular routes like Lisbon → Paris or Munich → Barcelona can get claimed within 24–48 hours of posting. If it matches your plans, don’t wait.

5. Read the fine print on fuel allowances. A €1/day deal with a €100 fuel allowance is a much better deal than a €1/day deal with no fuel allowance. Factor this into your comparison.

6. Consider the vehicle type. A smaller van costs less in fuel and tolls and is easier to park. If you’re solo or a couple, you don’t need a 6-berth motorhome. Pick the smallest van that fits your needs.

7. Target the shoulder months. September, October, March, and April have the best combination of deal volume and good weather. Avoid June–August if you want relocation deals — that’s when providers charge full rental rates because demand is high.

8. Have your documents ready. When a deal appears, you’ll want to book immediately. Make sure your driving licence, credit card (for the deposit), and ID are all current and accessible. Some providers require a licence held for at least 2 years.
