Imagine yourself touring Edinburgh behind the wheel of a campervan and having the time of your life. Edinburgh has a variety of places to see and explore. There are several castles, nature parks, scenic mountain views, museums, and a historic old town.

Make your vacation more exciting and comfortable and get a rental camping vehicle to take you anywhere you want to go. You'll enjoy some homey comforts during your vacation and see all the sights you can fit into your schedule without worrying about room and board.

But before you visit a campervan rental shop, read our tips on the features and amenities of campervans to make sure you'll be safe and comfortable while visiting Scotland's capital.

New features and models of campervans

Campervans come in different sizes, with a sleeping area, storage space, and furnishings. Some models have showers and kitchenettes, and a few have toilets. You can choose from several models when you visit a reputable company offering campervan hire in Edinburgh.

Modular and versatile

You can find campervans that have removable fittings and modular units. As you can remove some of the furniture, you can have several options on how to use the rental. You can rearrange their location to give you more space to fit your style.

Side-opening and panoramic roofs

Some of the older models of campervans have pop-up roofs. Today some models give you a panoramic view from the roof. Some models have zipped roof canvas so you can turn the camper into an open-top van if you're touring in the summer.

Low top and high top models

When checking out rental campervans, look at the vehicle's roof. Depending on your height and your need, you can rent one with a low top or go for a model with a high top. While the van with a low top could be budget-friendly, you have more vertical space when you rent one with a high top. If you are not too tall, a high top van will allow you to stand up straight.

Moreover, a low top van is typically suited for two people, while a high top model can have a sleeping area for up to five people.

Showers and toilets

For your ultimate convenience and comfort, you can rent a campervan that has a shower and toilet.

Twin doors

Another feature you want to look for is the door. With twin doors, the campervan will look more spacious. Having twin doors makes the van's interior airier and lighter. Cooking smells will easily dissipate, and you'll have an easier time chatting with your companions who are outside the vehicle.

Since you will be driving around Edinburgh, you'll want to stay longer in a few places. Make your trip more enjoyable, memorable and comfortable by renting one of the new models of campervan that have more features and facilities that could be more luxurious than what a budget hotel offers.
