Welcome to Milan, a melting pot of cultures that mixes the old and new of Italy. Here is some information to get you started when you rent a campervan in Milan, to ensure you have the best holiday ever.
When you hire a motorhome in Milan you can be on the road right away, trusting that your roadsurfer home on wheels is fully stocked. Your campervan comes with an awning, camping table and two chairs to enjoy the space outside of your vehicle. The kitchen box allows you to save money on eating out: you’ve got all the pots, pans, and utensils to cook up your own meals. There’s even a corkscrew and bottle opener, and a coffee pot, plus mugs for your morning coffee or tea, although you’ll want to bring dish towels, sponges, and eco-friendly dish soap. When you rent a small motorhome from Milan you will need to bring your own bedding, or you can hire what you need from the roadsurfer station. Full details of what’s included in your motorhome hire, and our suggestions on what to bring along to your Milan campervan holiday can be found in the equipment list.
Best time to hire a campervan in Milan
The best time to hire a campervan in Milan depends on your interests. If you’re a fashion lover then the fashion weeks in February and September are the ideal time to go, although the city does get quite crowded. The winter is the best time to escape the crowds at museums and historical sites, and the Christmas markets are magical. For those wanting to do outdoor activities, April – July, and September – October have pleasant weather for being out in the open. Avoid August – many locals go on holiday at this time, and local businesses and attractions are closed.
Water tank services near Milan
When you hire a campervan in Milan, you’ll need to fill up with freshwater at the start of your journey and empty your wastewater at the end.

Parking in Milan
In Milan, as in other cities in Italy, there are ZTL zones, where most vehicles are not allowed to enter or are subject to a tax or even a fine. If you use these streets when you are allowed, you will need a Zone C ticket.
To visit the city, we recommend the Lampugnano car park, which is only 20 minutes away from the roadsurfer station. From this car park you can take the Metro Line 1 to the centre of Milan.
There are different parking areas in Milan: white (free), blue (paying) and yellow (reserved for residents).
