Compact Luxury, Cologne, written on 16 days ago

The handover was very friendly and everything was explained/shown to us in detail. We were also very grateful that someone from the hire company was always available - even during closing times - so any minor handling problems were quickly resolved. We got a new camper, so the condition of the vehicle was of course great.

Family Standard, Düsseldorf, written on 9 months ago

The Family Standard category includes very different vehicle models. Length 5.9 to 7.3 metres. If you don't know this, you may be in for a surprise when you book a ferry journey.

There was a technical problem when booking via Camper days, which meant we had to postpone our travel plans by 1 day. The solution was then discussed with the station and we were kept in contact. Therefore it is not 5 stars, but a good 4 stars

Camper Cabin Deluxe, Cologne, written on 8 months ago

Small motorhome - for people who like it tight and have no problem with little storage space. But you also get a motorhome that lives up to its name. It drives almost like a car and you have no parking problems in cities. Great for holidaymakers who want minimalist travel with a good level of "residual comfort". A very good touring caravan with the option of staying overnight almost anywhere. Tip: take a small pop-up tent with you...then you can store bulky items at campsites, e.g. chairs, suitcases.... so you have more space for the travellers. --Our Nugget unfortunately had some defects...The previous tenants didn't treat it the way you usually treat your own things, very unfortunate!

Camper as usual from Roadsurfer in top condition, unfortunately not 100% clean. Unfortunately this time also an unsympathetic handover at both pick-up and return.

Great team, great vehicle, had a great holiday. The rear bed is a bit uncomfortable on the shower pull-out.

The introduction was very short and concise. But Roadsurfer has great videos that you can watch if you need them. One week with the camper is too short

Helpful tips for your visit to Cologne

Cologne is good all year round, but if you rent a motorhome in Cologne, you will want to visit between May and September. This is when you can enjoy the best weather. It's also a time when the city has more festivals and open-air events. Autumn or early spring are also good, as the roads will be quieter to drive around, and fewer tourists will be in the area.

    Even though you will probably spend most of the time outside the city, you will still want to spend your first or last day exploring it. The old town is a great place to explore and get lost. There are also plenty of museums, such as the Ludwig Museum and the Roman-Germanic Museum.
  • Local food and drink

    Food and drink are a big part of travel, so make sure you take your time to enjoy some of Cologne's best. The city is known for Kölsch beer, a light, refreshing brew served in small glasses.
