1. Retro Camper Hire campervans in Dublin (from USD 188)
If you want to experience van life in a new land for the first time, there’s certainly one place where you can rely on. Retro Camper Hire is among Ireland’s leading campervan rental services, promising customers reliable vehicles that are custom-tailored for a day tour worth their time. The company’s beige-and-brown campervans feature cosy amenities, up-to-date appliances, and extra tools for electric and water supplies.
Most of the campervans can easily fit small-scale families or groups. Dogs are also welcome to each of them, so nobody gets left behind. Some even include a few thoughtful extras, including a built-in bath area. Pick-ups for these vehicles are negotiated in the company’s Dublin location.
Guest review:
- "Overall the camper was nice. There’s a fridge, power cord, and kitchen supplies, but the sleeping arrangements are small in the petrol version of the campers. The diesel version is pictured and has the pop up camper style, but the petrol version is sealed. If you’re any taller than 180(5’9) and or taking someone along to stay together in the bunk then you will be cramped. The van ran fine can have room to move around in also, but it is an older van and not perfect. The camper van was a great way to travel around the area and isn’t to big to drive around cities, but you will need to find open parking lots over 3m (9’8) to accommodate the height." - Joe (Bruchmühlbach-Miesau, Germany)
