Campervan Hire in Naples

Naples is a beautiful city with many old streets, numerous squares and a variety of landscapes in the surrounding area. Naples itself has many museums, an old town that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site called Centro Storico, and a monastery called Santa Chiara. Naples also includes the mighty Vesuvius, a volcano that is seething but no longer active. It has not erupted for many years and there is a panoramic hiking trail around the crater. Besides Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast with its towns of Amalfi, Ravello, Positano and Sorrento is considered one of the most beautiful coasts of the entire Mediterranean, with houses built directly into the rocks. The cathedral of Amalfi and houses in Positano nestled against the mountain are highlights of a campervan trip along the coast. Another popular destination from Naples are the islands of Ischia, Procida and Capri, which are very contrasting when campervan hire in Naples.

In this part of the country, the climate is alpine and temperate, as in the entire Alpine region. In spring and autumn, it is often very mild in Tuscany and the south of the country, the sun often shines and many people come to the regions for hiking and round trips. However, it is also particularly charming in winter on the coasts. Even in November and December, the temperatures are usually still between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius, which is why many people travel to the south when snow has been falling in Germany for a long time. This is exactly what makes the Mediterranean climate so special. Rainfall is not as frequent here as the sun, which appears almost daily at around 35 to 40 degrees, especially in summer.

There are a few things to consider when renting a camper van:

• Choice of campervan: Whether you choose an alcove or rather the classic camper van depends on several factors. It depends on the price, your trip and, of course, the number of people.
• Before the journey: When you pick up the vehicle, you should check whether there are scratches in the paintwork or dents from a previous accident. The tyres should also be checked for abrasion or bumps. When first inspecting the car, it is also important to find out whether it runs on petrol or diesel.
• Tolls: In Italy, tolls are charged as soon as you enter the motorway. When exiting the motorway, there are several toll booths where drivers have to pay the toll. However, cash and card are usually accepted here. If you don't want to pay tolls, you should use the country roads. For longer tours, however, this is very time-consuming.
