- Van size & age — a newer six-berth costs more than a classic two-berth camper.
- Trip length — weekly hires usually bring the nightly rate down.
- Extras — insurance cover, mileage limits, camping gear and one-way or airport pick-ups.

Driving & staying in the Isle of Skye
A campervan is easy to drive on a car licence and narrow enough for most UK lanes, though the single-track roads and tight coastal villages around the Isle of Skye reward taking it slowly. Book campsites in advance for summer and bank holidays; many have electric hook-up, showers and a dump point. Wild camping is only broadly legal in Scotland — elsewhere always park overnight with permission or on a proper pitch.
