Why choose Birmingham for your road trip

Birmingham — a city worth exploring

Birmingham's Bullring has been a market site for over 800 years, making it one of the oldest trading areas in England. Today, the city blends industrial heritage with a thriving cultural scene that rewards exploration on four wheels. The Jewellery Quarter, responsible for around 40% of all British jewellery production, sits just north of the centre and offers independent workshops and galleries. Head to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery for one of the finest Pre-Raphaelite collections in the world, or stroll along the Birmingham Canal Navigations — the city actually has more kilometres of canal than Venice. Families will enjoy Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum, while foodies can browse the stalls at Birmingham Smithfield Market. Warwick Castle lies just 35 km to the south, and the Peak District National Park begins roughly 80 km to the north, giving you easy access to rolling countryside and scenic driving routes. The road network around Birmingham is well suited to larger vehicles, with wide dual carriageways and clearly signed ring roads. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you with local owners across the West Midlands, so you can pick up your vehicle close to where you need it. A campervan rented from a Birmingham-based owner means less driving before the adventure even starts.

Best time to visit

Birmingham welcomes visitors year-round, with each season offering something different. Late spring and summer, from May to September, bring long daylight hours ideal for exploring the canals and parks by campervan. The Birmingham International Dance Festival takes place in June, filling the city with outdoor performances. In October, the Birmingham Literature Festival draws book lovers from across the country. Hiring through Yescapa gives you access to peer-to-peer pricing, often more flexible than traditional rental companies, especially during quieter months from November to March. Book ahead for the summer period to secure the best choice of motorhome or campervan from local Birmingham owners.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a larger vehicle in Birmingham is straightforward if you plan ahead. The city centre has height restrictions in most multi-storey car parks, so look for surface-level or open-air options. Overnight parking in public car parks is generally not permitted unless specifically signed. For longer stays, dedicated motorhome stopovers on the outskirts offer a safer and more comfortable option. Always check signage for vehicle height and length limits before entering any facility.

  • NEC Car Parks, 13km southeast — Large open-air car parks near the NEC and Birmingham Airport with no height barriers. Suitable for motorhomes during events or as a short-term stop.
  • Star City Car Park, 4km northeast — Surface-level car park in Nechells with generous space. Open 24 hours but check signage for overnight rules. Good access from the M6.
  • Cannon Hill Park Car Park, 3km south — Free surface car park next to Cannon Hill Park and MAC Birmingham. Height limit applies at the barrier — check before entering with a taller vehicle.

Très bonne expérience dans le camping-car de Rémy. Pour nous c'était une première ! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les échanges avec Rémy qui nous a bien tout expliqué. A refaire ! Merci

Our stay in Koda was easily the highlight of our trip. We took her on a trip to the south and each day was an unforgettable experience. The van itself was easy enough to drive (a bit of elbow grease to turn from a dead standstill but nothing too bad) and was kitted with absolutely everything we could need. All the small details were so appreciated: lots of crockery, a coffee machine with pods, soap & sponges, extra trash bags, extra gas canisters, lots of charging ports, a speaker, the rooftop with ladder, picnic blanket, tables & chair fairy lights… it was perfect. There was even a solar shower which worked perfectly and gave us so much more freedom. We thought the bed would be a bit too small, but honestly we had more than enough space. The owners, Carina & Rafaela, were also fantastic. They made sure we knew all the little tips & tricks before we set off and were just a message away for any questions we had. We truly appreciated your hospitality and kindness and would love to be back for another stay in Koda!

Una gran experiencia con mi familia. Joël es una magnífica persona, muy correcto. Nos explicó el funcionamiento del vehículo con detalle. El vehículo una maravilla. Es nueva y moderna. Suave y fácil de maniobrar. Con todos los implementos para su funcionamiento. Tuvimos un pequeño percance con una piedrecilla que nos trizó el parabrisas en carretera, mala suerte no más. Pero pudimos completar el viaje sin problemas y el seguro funciona muy bien.

We had an excellent experience renting João’s van through Yescapa. Communication was fantastic from start to finish, and João was always quick to respond and help with anything we needed. Any questions or minor issues we had were sorted out straight away, which made the whole trip stress free. The van was the perfect size for two people travelling around Portugal. It was comfortable, easy to drive, and had everything we needed for our adventure. We would highly recommend João to anyone looking to explore Portugal by van and wouldn’t hesitate to rent from him again.

Nicolas and partner met us at the train station with their van! Both were extremely nice!, thorough with explanations, answered all questions patiently, rigorous with procedure to document the pre-trip van status and overall gave a great first impression of how this trip would go. Being used to non-self-contained van life back in the US, we got a feel for the van inside space quickly even on the first night. Sequence of cooking, cleaning, setting up the bed in the evening (and the reverse in the morning) became self-evident quickly. Sleeping surface is comfortable, and we got great sleeps after daily hiking. The van drives great and is the right size for narrow roads and most of the parking areas because of the height. Fuel efficiency is great. One potential improvement suggestion would be to have one removable screen to enable leaving one of the side windows open during the night for ventilation without ingress of mosquitos. Nicolas responded very quickly to any texts. This was a 20-day outing around the Provence and a great experience with this van and hosts.
