Motorhome weekend rental in Alicante
Why many people choose a motorhome for a weekend
Over the years I have seen that motorhomes for weekend getaways are rented by all kinds of people: couples, families and groups of friends. However, the reason is usually the same: to change scenery for a few days and disconnect from the routine. If it is your first experience, I also recommend reading our guide on renting a motorhome for the first time.
For this type of trip, there's no need to wait for the holidays or plan it months in advance. It's enough to have a free weekend.
A motorhome rental for a weekend is also an excellent option for those who want to try this type of travel before planning a longer holiday. In just two or three days you can discover if this way of travelling suits your style and enjoy a completely different experience.
Many of my clients travel through areas like Altea, Calpe, Valencia, Cartagena Cabo de Gata. They are destinations that allow you to enjoy two or three days at a leisurely pace and without spending too much time on the road.
What I like most about this format is that, even if the trip is short, the feeling of relaxation is often much greater than people imagine. Sometimes two or three days are enough to return home with the feeling of having enjoyed a proper holiday.
I especially remember a couple who came from Madrid to spend just a weekend. They arrived by train in the morning, picked up the motorhome in Alicante and that very night they were already sleeping by the sea on the Costa Blanca. It is a good example of how, in just a few hours, you can completely change your surroundings and start enjoying the trip.
Who is a weekend break ideal for?
Weekend rental is a good option for:
couples
families with children
people who want to try out a motorhome before a long trip
It is a convenient solution if you are looking for mobility and do not want to depend on hotels or a fixed itinerary.
What's Included in the Rental?
If you want to know how water, electricity or heating work during the trip, you can also read our guide on the motorhome autonomy.
Even if you hire a motorhome for just a weekend, you'll already have everything you need to travel in comfort.
The motorhome features a bed, kitchen, fridge, shower, bathroom, water system, electricity, heating and many other elements that make the trip comfortable from day one.
If you want to see photographs, videos and the full list of equipment, I recommend checking our section on motorhome equipment.
Thanks to this equipment, you can travel for several days in complete comfort and without depending on hotels or other infrastructure.
What are trips of this kind usually like
In my experience, most people don't try to cover as many miles as possible in two or three days. On the contrary, short motorhome trips tend to be much more relaxed.
Some prefer to spend the weekend by the sea. Others head towards mountain areas or small inland villages. There are even those who find a place they like on the first day and decide to stay there until the end of the trip.
And there is one of the big advantages of travelling in a motorhome. There is no need to plan every hour of the trip or book several hotels in advance. If you like a place, you can stay another night. If you fancy discovering something new, you simply continue along the route. If you still don't know where to spend the night, I recommend our guide on where to park up with a motorhome in Spain.
I always recommend not trying to see everything in a single weekend. Usually, the trips that turn out best are those where you leave room to improvise and change plans on the fly.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome for a weekend?
The price depends on the season, the chosen model and the specific travel dates. For basic models, the guide prices per day are:
off-peak season — from €60
mid-season — from €70
high season — from €100
For example, during the peak season demand tends to be higher, so availability is more limited and prices may vary compared to other times of the year.
In my experience, most people don't choose a motorhome getaway because it's the cheapest option, but because it allows them to completely change their scenery for a few days without having to wait for the holidays.
If you'd like to check the updated price for your dates, I recommend looking at our catalogue of motorhomes and campervans available or to get in touch with me directly for personalised information. You can also view all our options for motorhome hire in Alicante.
What to consider before booking
If you are planning a weekend break, I recommend booking the campervan in advance, especially during spring and summer. Weekends tend to be the dates with the highest demand and the most popular models can be booked up several weeks beforehand.
It is also important to think about what kind of trip you want to make. For couples, more compact models are usually sufficient, whereas families normally prefer motorhomes with more space and more sleeping berths.
If you are unsure which model best suits your needs, you can always get in touch with me. I will be happy to help you choose the most suitable motorhome based on the number of travellers, the planned route and the type of trip you have in mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to collect the motorhome?
Normally, the motorhome handover takes between 10 and 20 minutes. I send most of the information beforehand via explanatory videos, so many clients are already familiar with how the main systems work before picking up the vehicle. At the time of handover, there is only left to answer any questions and hand over the motorhome.
Can you travel with a dog?
Yes, you can travel with a dog. The only thing I ask is that you let me know in advance when making the booking.
What happens if I want to return the motorhome on Monday instead of Sunday?
In many cases it is possible, provided the motorhome is available and there is no subsequent booking. It is best to discuss it in advance and I will try to offer you the most convenient option.
Is previous experience necessary to hire a motorhome for the weekend?
No, no previous experience is necessary. Many of my clients are hiring a motorhome for the first time. Before the trip you will receive all the necessary information and several explanatory videos, so there are usually no difficulties at all.
Is it possible to pick up the motorhome on Friday afternoon and return it on Sunday evening?
Yes, this option is possible. It all depends on the booking calendar for those dates. Whenever possible, I try to accommodate the times that are most convenient for my clients.
