Which campervans are available and who are they best suited for?

Campervan offers two carefully selected campervan models that cover the needs of most summer travellers.

Ford Nugget Plus

The Ford Nugget Plus is a compact campervan based on the Ford Transit platform. Designed primarily for two people, it includes a fixed bed, a fully equipped kitchenette with a two-burner stove, refrigerator, sink and toilet. Because it is smaller than a traditional motorhome, parking in campsites and city centres is considerably easier. For couples seeking flexibility, lower fuel consumption and easy manoeuvring, this is the obvious choice. Interior of the Ford Nugget Plus campervan

Mercedes V Marco Polo

The Mercedes V Marco Polo offers additional living space and premium comfort. It is ideal for couples who value convenience or for a small family travelling with a third passenger. The vehicle features comfortable sleeping areas, a fully equipped kitchen, a toilet and a higher level of interior equipment. Driving it feels much like driving a standard passenger van, making narrow mountain roads significantly less stressful. The spacious interior of the Mercedes V Marco Polo campervan offers outstanding comfort and a thoughtfully designed layout.
Model Capacity Best suited for Included
Ford Nugget Plus 2 people Couples, adventure travellers Kitchen, toilet, fixed bed, basic insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance
Mercedes V Marco Polo 2–3 people Couples, small families Kitchen, toilet, sleeping areas, basic insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance

Before making your reservation, take a look through the galleries—seeing the interior often tells you far more than simply reading a list of features.

How much does a summer campervan rental cost and when should you book?

The average daily price of a campervan rental in Slovenia is approximately €131, while typical summer rates range from €90 to €215 per day. During peak travel periods, especially July and August, prices offered by most rental companies tend to be towards the upper end of this range.
Budget planning: A typical seven-day summer campervan rental costs between €900 and €1,500, depending on the vehicle model and your exact travel dates.
Availability during the summer season decreases much faster than most travellers expect. Booking at least two to three months before departure is recommended, while July and August reservations should ideally be made even earlier. Travellers who book during spring generally enjoy the widest choice of vehicles and sometimes more favourable prices. If you’re planning a longer rental—ten days or more—it’s worth asking about special pricing. Many rental companies offer discounted daily rates for extended bookings, making a longer campervan holiday significantly more affordable. Expert tip: When planning your budget, remember to include fuel, campsite fees (typically €20–40 per night) and motorway tolls where applicable. The total daily cost of your trip will usually be higher than the rental price alone.

How Much Does Summer Campervan Rental Cost and When Should You Book?

The average campervan rental price in Slovenia is around €131 per day, while the typical summer range is between €90 and €215 per day. During the peak travel season—especially in July and August—most rental providers charge rates at the upper end of this range.

Booking at least 2–3 months in advance is highly recommended, while July and August departures should ideally be reserved even earlier. Travellers who secure their campervan during spring generally enjoy better vehicle availability and occasionally lower rental prices. For longer rentals—10 days or more—it is worth asking about discounted rates. Many providers offer lower daily prices for extended bookings, making a summer road trip significantly more affordable. Expert tip: When planning your budget, remember to include fuel, campsite fees (typically €20–€40 per night), toll roads and parking charges. The real daily travel cost is usually higher than the rental price alone.

What’s Included in the Rental, Insurance and Security Deposit?

A standard Campervan rental includes:
  • Basic third-party liability insurance
  • 24/7 roadside assistance in case of breakdown or accident
  • Fully equipped kitchenette (gas hob, refrigerator and cookware)
  • Permanent sleeping area with mattress
  • Toilet facilities
  • Essential kitchen utensils and tableware
Bed linen and towels are not always included in the standard rental price. Check during the booking process whether they can be added as an extra or whether you should bring your own. The security deposit is paid when collecting the vehicle and held throughout the rental period. The exact amount is specified in the Terms and Conditions. Provided the vehicle is returned without damage, the deposit is normally refunded within a few working days. The insurance excess is the amount you are responsible for paying if damage occurs before the insurance covers the remaining costs. For example, if you scratch the bumper, you would normally pay the excess. The exact amount is stated in your rental agreement.
  • Standard insurance covers most situations, although the excess remains your responsibility.
  • Additional insurance with a reduced excess is usually available as an optional upgrade and is worth considering for longer journeys or mountain driving.
  • Before leaving, photograph every side of the campervan, including any existing damage. This is the simplest way to avoid misunderstandings when returning the vehicle.
Expert tip: Record a one-minute video during vehicle collection—not just photos. A continuous video captures angles that individual images may miss.

How Does the Booking, Collection and Return Process Work?

The entire rental process is divided into four straightforward steps. 1. Booking Visit campervan.si, choose your preferred model, check availability and submit a booking request or reservation. Once confirmed, you will pay the booking deposit. Cancellation terms are clearly explained in the Terms and Conditions, so review them before confirming your booking. 2. Vehicle Collection in Ljubljana Arrive at the agreed collection point in Ljubljana with:
  • A valid Category B driving licence
  • Your passport or ID card
  • A payment card for the security deposit
The Campervan team will inspect the vehicle with you, complete the paperwork and explain how everything works. Vehicle handover usually takes around 30–45 minutes, so allow sufficient time. 3. During Your Rental Should you encounter any issues during your journey, 24/7 roadside assistance is available. Save the emergency contact number on your phone before you leave. 4. Returning the Vehicle Return the campervan on the agreed date and at the agreed location. A final inspection is carried out together with the Campervan team. The vehicle should be returned with a full fuel tank (unless otherwise agreed) and in a reasonably clean condition. Once the inspection confirms there is no damage, your security deposit will be refunded.

Which Routes Are Best for a Summer Campervan Road Trip?

Ljubljana is an excellent starting point, placing you within just a couple of hours of the Alps, the Adriatic coast and Croatia’s beautiful islands. Here are three tried-and-tested campervan itineraries for a 5–10 day summer adventure. The Alpine Loop (6–8 days, approximately 900 km) Ljubljana → Kranjska Gora → Bovec → Soča Valley → Tolmin → Idrija → Ljubljana. Highlights include Triglav National Park, the emerald Soča River and the Mangart mountain pass. Campsites throughout the Soča Valley are among the most scenic in Slovenia, but they fill up quickly during summer, so booking in advance is strongly recommended. The Adriatic Coast Route (7–10 days, approximately 1,100 km) Ljubljana → Koper → Piran → Rovinj → Pula → Krka National Park → Split → return to Ljubljana. Highlights include the Brijuni Islands, Krka National Park and Diocletian’s Palace in Split. Coastal campsites are extremely busy during the summer season, making reservations at least one month ahead essential. The Balkan Adventure (8–10 days, approximately 1,400 km) Ljubljana → Zagreb → Plitvice Lakes → Mostar → Kotor → Dubrovnik → return to Ljubljana. This itinerary includes the spectacular Plitvice Lakes National Park, the historic Old Town of Mostar and the breathtaking Bay of Kotor. It is a slightly longer and more demanding road trip, but one of the most rewarding. Practical summer driving tips:
  • Park in the shade whenever possible or use a reflective windscreen cover. Campervans heat up surprisingly quickly during summer.
  • Refill your fresh water tank regularly. Hot weather means you’ll use far more water than expected.
  • Never leave valuables visible inside the vehicle when you’re away.
  • Arrive at campsites early in the afternoon rather than in the evening. During peak season, pitches fill up fast.
  • Always check campervan restrictions before driving mountain roads, particularly regarding height, weight and length limits.
If you collect your vehicle in Ljubljana, the Campervan team will also provide personalised route recommendations before departure—an advantage you rarely receive from large online booking platforms.

What Questions Should You Ask Before Booking a Campervan?

Before signing your rental agreement, make sure you know the answers to the following questions. Important questions to ask:
  • How many kilometres are included in the daily rental price, and what is the cost of additional mileage?
  • What is the fuel policy when returning the vehicle?
  • Exactly what does the standard insurance cover, and what is the insurance excess?
  • Can the campervan be returned to a different location?
  • What happens if the vehicle breaks down during the trip?
  • Are pets allowed?
  • Is there a minimum or maximum driver age?
Warning signs to look out for:
  • Terms and conditions that are difficult to find or unclear before booking.
  • No photographs of the actual rental vehicles—only manufacturer stock images.
  • No clearly available emergency contact during the rental period.
  • Hidden fees that only appear in the contract.
Signs of a trustworthy campervan rental company:
  • Transparent rental terms covering insurance, deposits and additional charges.
  • Real photographs of the actual vehicles in the fleet.
  • Authentic customer reviews with detailed experiences.
  • 24/7 roadside assistance with a genuine emergency telephone number.
  • A personal vehicle handover that includes a complete demonstration of all equipment.
For many travellers, hiring a campervan is a completely new experience. A company that takes the time to explain everything during collection is usually one worth trusting. One that simply hands over the keys without any guidance probably isn’t.

Why Early Booking Isn’t Just Good Advice—It’s Essential

Most campervan rental guides recommend booking early. The reality is even more straightforward: during July and August, the best-maintained campervans from reputable rental companies are often fully booked weeks or even months in advance. Vehicles still available closer to summer are frequently either significantly more expensive or less well maintained. One detail many travellers overlook is the difference between reserving a vehicle category and reserving a specific campervan. Smaller rental companies like Campervan operate carefully maintained fleets with fewer vehicles, allowing them to provide a more personal service and better vehicle care—but naturally offering fewer last-minute booking options. It’s a trade-off that rewards travellers who plan ahead. Another point rarely mentioned in travel guides is that the advantages of staying outside traditional hotels often extend far beyond cost savings. A campervan takes that freedom even further. There are no hotel walls, no fixed breakfast times and no parking hassles in busy tourist destinations. For many couples trying campervan travel for the first time, that freedom is exactly what inspires them to do it again the following year.
