Can I rent a camper in Schaffhausen at short notice?

Yes. Almost one in five summer rentals in the Schaffhausen area was booked less than two weeks before the trip started. In spring and fall, it was one in four. For the summer holidays, booking early pays off: four in ten rentals for June to August were booked more than three months in advance.

Can I rent a camper in Schaffhausen with a dog and children?

Yes. Just over a third of the campervans and motorhomes within 40 km of Schaffhausen allow dogs, and children are allowed in almost all vehicles. Filter the vehicles by "Traveling with pets" and "Traveling with children under 12".

Which driving license do I need for a motorhome?

For vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight, a category B driving license is enough. That's also the category you need to drive a normal car. It covers most campervans and many motorhomes. For heavier motorhomes, you need category C1. The gross weight is listed in every vehicle description.

Can I take a camper from Schaffhausen abroad?

Yes, and lots of people here do: more than one in five rentals from Schaffhausen goes abroad. The German border is just a few kilometers from the city. Enter your destination when you book and check with the owner what you need for the country you're traveling to. Some countries also require a vignette or an environmental sticker.

Can I rent a camper in Schaffhausen in winter?

Yes. According to their owners, about 60% of the vehicles within 40 km of Schaffhausen are winter-ready. Only just over 2% of rentals start between November and March, so there's plenty of choice then. Look for a parking heater and winter tires.
