If you're wondering how much it costs to hire a motorhome for a week in the UK, the answer depends on a few key factors, including the motorhome you choose, the time of year you travel and how far in advance you book.
At Abacus Motorhomes, we offer a range of modern motorhomes and campervans for hire from our base in Hampshire. Whether you're planning a short UK break, a week-long motorhome holiday or a longer adventure, our hire fleet gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace.
In this guide, we'll explain motorhome hire costs, what can affect the price, what's included in your Abacus hire and some real examples of prices for a seven-night motorhome hire in 2027.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome for a week?
A seven-night motorhome hire can vary depending on the vehicle, dates and availability. Abacus Motorhomes uses low, mid and high season pricing, so the cost of a week's hire can be different at different times of the year.
As a guide, we've included real examples below using the same two motorhomes across three different periods in 2027. These examples show how much the price can change depending on the season.
Motorhome Hire Prices by Season
Motorhome hire prices are influenced by demand throughout the year. Rather than using one fixed weekly price, we have low, mid and high seasons.
This means that travelling outside the busiest periods can sometimes offer better value, while popular summer dates are generally more expensive and can book up further in advance.

What Affects the Cost of Motorhome Hire?
There isn't one standard price for hiring a motorhome for a week. The final cost depends on several factors.
Time of year
The season can make a significant difference to the cost of your motorhome hire. We operate low, mid and high season pricing, with popular summer periods generally being in greater demand.
Motorhome size
Larger motorhomes and those with more berths can cost more to hire than smaller campervans. Think about how much space you actually need when choosing your vehicle.
Vehicle specification
Different motorhomes have different layouts, facilities and specifications. Automatic vehicles, larger layouts and premium models can all affect the hire price.
Availability
Prices can vary according to availability and demand. Popular dates can become booked well in advance, particularly during school holidays and other busy periods.
What's Included in Motorhome Hire?
One of the most important things to check when comparing motorhome hire prices is what you actually get for the advertised price.
At Abacus Motorhomes, a wide range of essential items and services are included as standard. For a seven-night hire, we include up to £250 worth of essential extras, helping to make your motorhome ready for your holiday without having to hire every basic item separately.
Some equipment is model-specific, so please check the included extras information for details of what is supplied with your chosen motorhome.

Optional extras are charged separately, so they are not included in the example prices shown in this article.
Optional extras can include:
- Bedding packs

- Collision Damage Waiver
- Pet fees
How to Keep the Cost of Your Motorhome Holiday Down
If you're looking for a more affordable motorhome holiday, there are several things you can consider when planning your trip.
If your dates are flexible, looking at low or mid-season dates can give you more choice and potentially lower hire costs.
Popular motorhomes and summer dates can book up quickly. Planning ahead gives you the best chance of finding the vehicle and dates you want.
Don't automatically choose the largest vehicle. If you're travelling as a couple, a two-berth campervan may provide everything you need.
Comparing the total value of a hire is important. An apparently cheaper hire may not include the same equipment or services.
Planning Your Motorhome Adventure?
Once you've chosen your motorhome, the next step is planning where you're going, where you'll stay and what you want to see along the way.
Our motorhome hire advice includes useful information and ideas to help you plan your holiday and get the most from your time on the road.
