Motorhome & Campervan Hire in Milan

When you hire a campervan in Milan you can pack light! The kitchen box included with your motorhome means that you can eat in and save money, since it has everything you’ll need to whip up delicious campervan meals. There’s even a cafetière and mugs for your morning coffee. The awning, camping table and chairs will make sitting by a lake and gazing at the mountains all you’ll want to do each day! You’ll need to bring your own bedding or book some when you book your roadsurfer, and there are plenty of other extras you can add too – see the full details in our equipment list on our website.

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.

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. The closest place to the roadsurfer rental station is 10km from our station at the Carico & Scarico Camper parking facilities (21047 Saronno, Province of Varese, MI), just after the Saronno Sud Station. Alternatively,  a 20 minutes drive south at an Esso petrol station off the E62 (A8, Villoresi Ovest, 20020 Lainate MI).

You must return your hired campervan with a full tank of diesel and ensure that the AdBlue is filled up. The nearest petrol station where you can do both is:

• SOMMESE PETROLI, Viale Don G. Minzoni, 32, 21053 Castellanza VA (To fill up with AdBlue, please ask a member of the staff as there is no outside pump.)

Please note: The AdBlue service station information provided is for guidance only and is provided without warranty of any kind; customers are advised to check the information for accuracy on their own responsibility, as roadsurfer assumes no liability for the accuracy or timeliness of the information.

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).
