Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna — a region worth exploring

Emilia-Romagna stretches 280 kilometres along the ancient Via Emilia, a Roman road built in 187 BC that still forms the backbone of the region's transport network today. From the food capital of Bologna to the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna, this northern Italian region rewards slow travel like few others. The Piazza del Duomo in Parma, the medieval towers of Bologna, and the Malatesta Temple in Rimini each tell a different chapter of Italian history. Drive 130 kilometres south-east from Modena to reach the wetlands of the Po Delta Regional Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where flamingos wade through shallow lagoons. Head inland and the Apennine foothills rise gently, offering winding roads through chestnut forests and thermal springs near Salsomaggiore Terme. The region is also home to Italy's Motor Valley, where Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Ducati all have their headquarters and museums within easy reach of one another. For food lovers, the towns of Parma and Modena alone produce Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and traditional balsamic vinegar. Travelling by campervan gives you the freedom to follow your appetite from one producer to the next, while a motorhome offers extra comfort for longer stays. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across Emilia-Romagna, choosing from a wide range of vehicles that suit your group and your route perfectly.

Best time to visit

Emilia-Romagna is wonderful from late spring through to autumn. May and June bring warm, settled weather ideal for exploring the Apennine foothills and the Adriatic coast by campervan. Summer is peak season along the Riviera Romagnola, and booking early on Yescapa helps you secure the best choice of vehicles from local owners at competitive peer-to-peer prices. September is perfect for food festivals — the Festa del Prosciutto di Parma typically runs in early September, celebrating the region's most famous cured meat. In October, Emilia-Romagna hosts the Motor Valley Fest in Modena, a must for motoring enthusiasts. Motorhome hire outside July and August often comes with quieter roads and more relaxed campsite availability.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna's main motorway is the A1 (Autostrada del Sole), which runs through Bologna, Parma, and Modena. Tolls apply on most motorways and are paid at exit barriers by card or cash — keep your entry ticket safe. The A14 follows the Adriatic coast from Bologna to Rimini. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes have a lower speed limit of 100 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on secondary roads. Rest areas with dedicated campervan and motorhome parking are well spaced along major routes. Some mountain passes in the Apennines have height or weight restrictions, so check signage before heading into the hills with a larger vehicle.

Thank you Carlos, for a great rental experience. Carlos was very responsive, helpful, flexible and always available whenever we needed him. Everything went smoothly, and we had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend renting from him!

The overall experience is positive, with the high point being the owner: very friendly and eager to help The state of the car (btw. we actually got T6 instead of T5 due to some mechanical work) could definitely be better, though: 6 years old tires with almost no tread on the front axle, seemingly beat up suspension with very loose steering, lots of minor things inside either broken or not working Still, if you don't care about that, would recommend :)

We had a fantastic experience renting the campervan from Sergio in Tenerife! The campervan was great – not too big, but spacious enough and perfectly equipped with everything we needed, including a toilet, shower and cooking facilities. It was easy to drive and the perfect size for exploring the island. It came with everything you could possibly need: cooking equipment, plates, cutlery, coffee, washing-up supplies, charging cables and plenty of little storage spaces for our belongings. Everything was provided at no extra cost, so we didn’t need to worry about buying or bringing extra things. Everything worked perfectly, and Sergio was always available and quick to respond whenever we had a question or needed anything. There were absolutely no hidden or extra costs – everything was exactly as agreed, with no surprises. Honestly, renting a campervan was the best way to explore Tenerife, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended! Thank you, Sergio!

We had a wonderful trip! Jose Maria is super responsive and nice, he thoroughly introduced the van and its features to us, and gave great recommendations. The van is in great shape. I really recommend it. As a matter of fact, I literally recommended Jose Maria and his van to a friend today.

4 / 5

Very friendly and helpfull owner. The camper has some miles on it but is still very pleasant to drive and camp with. I generally think the camper could've been cleaner. The cabinets and 'stocking' areas could be cleaned a bit better. Bed and sheets were perfect and fresh! Consider you're length when booking the camper as you sleep in the width of the camper and for tall people , this could be an issue. I'm 1.73m and I could JUST stretch my legs. Overall , a pleasant experience!
