Motorhome and Camper van hire in Hamburg

Motorhome Rental Hamburg

Moin Hamburg – Good morning, Hamburg! Hamburg is Germany’s second-largest city with 1.8 million citizens. The Hanseatic city in the North of Germany has a lot to offer for motorhome hire Hamburg. Hamburg is especially known for its large industrial harbour, the notorious Reeperbahn, where the party never stops (at least in non-pandemic times), and for one of its most expensive construction projects of the century – the Elbe Philharmonic Hall. The personality of Hamburg’s locals is also unique – they are known to be rather reserved or introverted. That should not deter you because once you establish the first contact, you will appreciate and love the dry Northern humour fast!

Getting to Hamburg

The traffic connections in and around Hamburg are excellent, and you can rely on public transport to take you securely and on time from A to B. Hamburg’s main train station is right in the middle of the city centre, and sightseeing sites such as the Elphi (Philharmonic Hall) are within walking distance. Hamburg’s airport is not too far from the centre of the city, and the S1 drives every 10 minutes to the main station at rush hour. Besides that, the city can be reached easily coming from all directions. From the East via the A24 (link to Berlin), the A20 and A23 in the North, the A7 (North-South link) or the A1 from the Southwest.

Parking in Hamburg

It will be difficult to find parking in the inner city and all the green areas around the river Alster have strict No-Parking zones. There are major parking garages in the centre (€2.50 to €4 per hour). However, Hamburg is one of Germany’s cities with the most expensive parking fees. Outside the city, however, you will find many Park & Ride car parks – you may be able to park your vehicle even free of charge and take public transportation into the centre. Park&Ride am Lattenkamp, Park&Ride Denhaide, Park&Ride Friedrichsberg or Park&Ride Veddel are where you can leave your motorhome hire Hamburg.
