Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, is a uniquely charming town regarded as the “Garden City”. Rent a campervan and an entire day exploring the Great Garden of Hanover (Grosser Garten). Pack a picnic, bring your favourite lawn sports, or rent a bike and cruise through the peaceful park. End your day with a delicious dinner and stroll through the old city centre (Altstadt). Hanover is only the first stop on an adventurous holiday with your campervan hire and the perfect start for a longer road trip through Norway or to the Baltic States!

Hanover is conveniently located in the north of Germany, which means you are only a 7-hour drive from Copenhagen, Denmark or Malmo, Sweden. Whether you’re an experienced camper or a camping novice, our tips on renting a motorhome in Hannover will help you prepare for your road trip and explore all possibilities on your European road trip in a hired campervan.
When you hire a motorhome or campervan in Hanover, you won’t have to worry about all the equipment needed for your camping holiday. Your campervan rental is fully stocked, ready for whatever adventure to come. You will find a camping table, two chairs, an awning, levelling wedges and a water canister to fill up the water tank. You can also enjoy cooking for yourself because your motorhome rental has all the necessities of a modern-day kitchen including a gas stove and a fully-stocked kitchen box with all your cooking and eating utensils. The only thing you may want to bring, if you haven’t added bedding to your booking, are blankets or a sleeping bag.
The best time to travel to Hanover with a campervan rental is the warm months between May and September. We highly recommend these months for car lovers as this city hosts many special automotive events. Keep an eye out for the VW Bus Festival, the Beetle Sunshine Tour, the Bulli Festival and the Street Mag Show, Germany’s largest American Car & Harley Show. In May, you can also visit the Arts Festivals and be entertained by music, performances, theatre, dance and installations at various venues around the city. The warm weather lures visitors outdoors, and many more come to view monthly firework competitions taking place at the Herrenhausen Gardens.
There is a campervan site in Hanover North where you can fill up the fresh water tank of your motorhome as well as empty the grey water on your return journey. You can also use the supply and disposal station without booking a pitch.
