What it costs

Expect around £70–£160 a night for a campervan in North East. What you actually pay comes down to:

  • Season — summer and holidays cost the most; spring and autumn are far better value.
  • 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.

On Goboony, the price you see includes the owner's rates upfront, and you book and pay securely through the platform.

Driving & staying in North East

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 North East 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.
