Upon request, we can arrange a shuttle service for you and your baggage to & from Dublin airport. Please contact us prior to booking for prices and availability. We conduct all vehicle demonstrations, pickups and drops offs from collection point only.

The campervan may be collected and dropped off 6 days a week Monday to Saturday only with the following exceptions:
Bank holiday weekends: strictly no camper collections on a Sunday or bank holiday Monday.

Collections and returns are by strict appointment
1 hire day = exactly 1 x 24 hours from the collection time of 3pm.

Extension fees are charged at €15/hour.

During the darker winter months (November – February) we strongly encourage camper collections before 4pm so that vehicle familiarisation and first drive can take place during daylight hours.

At least 24 hours notice is required to change your allocated collection time. Please understand that camper collections are in a carefully coordinated queue so last minute changes can have a domino effect.

Please consider that the next customer may be collecting the vehicle within hours of your return time. If the vehicle is returned late (i.e. outside the times agreed), Wanderings may need to charge a late fee together with any additional costs incurred by Wanderings (e.g. compensation to the next hirer.)

Please notify us ASAP if you get delayed or if you wish to change either your collection or return times.

Yes you can. Why not order your food on www.tesco.ie or www.supervalu.ie and have it delivered here to our depot? We can put your food away for you in the campervan and it will be one less thing for you to think about! This is convenient and will save time!

Campers are fully equipped for camping. Please see our ‘What’s Included?’ within the Campervan page for full breakdown of what you’ll find in the van.  You will receive a full itinerary upon confirmation of your booking.

Your hire comes with a 3-point seatbelt car seat and we have 1 booster seats if you require them.  Unfortunately, we do not have an ISOFIX installed in the campervan so we cannot facilitate your personal Iso-fix seat if you have one, but please use ours, it’s new and very safe.

Four passengers as there are 4 seatbelts. 2 in the main driving area & 2 in the back – the table area and couch. Seatbelts are situated on this couch and it is where the child car seat would be set up if required.

Ireland boasts a great network of campsites. Visit our Travel Tips page for a list of good campsites around Ireland.  We advise you book early! You can also find these resources online at Camping Ireland and The Green Guide.

Ireland is still pretty free and easy and wild camping is acceptable. Overnight camping is not permitted at most popular tourist attractions but if you move a few miles down the road you will surely find a beautiful location to stop and camp. 

Go to our Travel Tips page for a detailed list of locations suitable for Wild Camping.

There are a couple of good wild-camping resources you can refer to online:

• www.campercontact.com – a general listing for camper spots… some of them free.
• park4night.com– a listing of places you can pull up & park for the night.
