Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Switzerland
Switzerland — a country worth exploring
Switzerland's Gotthard Pass, first crossed by mule trains in the 13th century, remains one of Europe's most iconic alpine crossings and a must-drive route for any road trip enthusiast. From the shores of Lake Geneva to the peaks of the Bernese Oberland, this compact country packs an extraordinary variety of landscapes into a relatively small area. Zurich to Lugano is roughly 210 km, yet the journey takes you from German-speaking urban culture through the dramatic Gotthard tunnel and into the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino. Meanwhile, Bern to Interlaken covers just 56 km but delivers views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau — three of the most recognisable summits in the Alps. Switzerland's well-maintained roads wind through flower-filled valleys, past glacial lakes like Lake Lucerne and Lake Thun, and over high-altitude passes such as the Furka and Susten. The country's network of clearly signposted scenic routes makes it ideal for exploring by campervan or motorhome, with plenty of designated overnight parking areas along the way. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners based across Switzerland, choosing from a wide range of vehicles — from compact campervans perfect for mountain passes to larger motorhomes suited to lakeside touring. This peer-to-peer approach means more choice, competitive pricing, and personal tips from people who know Swiss roads best.
Best time to visit
Switzerland welcomes travellers from late spring through to autumn, with June to September offering the longest days and open alpine passes. The Montreux Jazz Festival in July draws music lovers to the shores of Lake Geneva, while the Fête des Vignerons in Vevey celebrates the country's winemaking heritage. Most mountain passes, including the Furka and Susten, are open from June to October, making this the prime window for high-altitude touring by campervan. Shoulder months like May and early October bring quieter roads and lower prices through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed pace. Book ahead for July and August to secure the best choice of motorhomes across Switzerland.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Switzerland
Switzerland does not have traditional toll booths on its motorways. Instead, all vehicles using the motorway network (marked with green signs) must display a valid vignette, which costs CHF 40 per year and is available at border crossings, petrol stations, and post offices. For motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes, the heavy vehicle charge (LSVA) applies and is calculated based on distance, weight, and emissions. Speed limits on motorways are 120 km/h for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes and 100 km/h for those above. On open roads outside built-up areas, the limit is 80 km/h. Rest areas with facilities are well spaced along major routes like the A1 (Geneva–Zurich) and A2 (Basel–Chiasso). Mountain tunnels such as the Gotthard require headlights on at all times.
Frequently asked questions
With Yescapa, you can pick up a motorhome directly from local owners across Switzerland. The most common collection points are in and around Zurich, Geneva, Bern, Basel, and Lausanne, giving you easy access to both the alpine regions and the lakeland areas. Some owners are also based near Lucerne and in the Ticino region, which is handy if you want to start your trip in central or southern Switzerland. Simply search by location on the platform to see what is available near your preferred starting point.
To find affordable campervan or motorhome hire in Switzerland, consider travelling in the shoulder season — May, June, or September — when rates on Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform tend to be lower. Booking several weeks ahead gives you access to a wider selection and better prices. Choosing a smaller campervan rather than a large motorhome also reduces daily costs. Compare listings from different owners across Swiss cities, and look for vehicles with built-in kitchen equipment to save on eating out during your trip.
Campervan hire in Switzerland typically ranges from £90 to £180 per day depending on the season, vehicle size, and equipment. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can often find competitive rates from local owners, especially outside the peak July–August window. Compact campervans tend to sit at the lower end, while fully equipped motorhomes with kitchen and bathroom cost more. Booking well in advance and choosing flexible dates can help you secure the best deal for your Swiss road trip.
For couples or solo travellers exploring Switzerland's mountain passes, a compact campervan with two berths is the most practical choice — easier to park and more agile on narrow alpine roads. Families of four or five will be more comfortable in a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion, giving everyone space after a day of hiking. Groups of up to six can look for larger motorhomes with overcab beds. On Yescapa, you can filter by number of berths and check each vehicle's dimensions to make sure it suits Swiss roads and campsite pitches.
Yes, many owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their campervans and motorhomes. You can filter listings specifically for dog-friendly vehicles when searching for hire in Switzerland. The country is well suited to travelling with dogs — most Swiss campsites accept pets, and there are countless hiking trails and lakeside paths to enjoy together. Just check each listing for any specific pet policies, such as size limits or cleaning fees. Bringing your dog's own bedding and bowls helps keep the vehicle in great condition for the next traveller.

Exceptional experience, I highly recommend it! Nuno is responsive, attentive and genuinely caring: he picked us up at the airport and provided us with a comprehensive list of must-see spots to explore the island, eat and sleep. Thanks to him, we discovered Madeira in a truly unique and authentic way. An unforgettable trip, made possible in large part by his invaluable help.

Car is “hursh but fair”. Need a few km to grab a feeling but than you cruise. We went 900 km in n all kind of conditions and it was all good. All is in working order as described and not too long so you fit in a parking spot.
