Rennes van hire

Setting off from the WeVan Rennes agency, a 5-to-7-day campervan road trip lets you combine forest and coast. First head to the Brocéliande forest, its ponds and wooded wild-camping spots, then go up towards the Côte d'Émeraude, via the Vallée de la Rance regional nature park. In the Côtes d'Armor, visit Cancale, the Pointe du Grouin, Cap Fréhel and Erquy. Continue on the Pink Granite Coast (Ploumanac'h, Trégastel) before rounding off via the Monts d'Arrée, or even the Crozon peninsula depending on the time left. If you have more than a week ahead of you, explore southern Finistère via the Pointe du Raz and the Bay of Audierne. Then, the Morbihan has some lovely surprises in store, from the wild coast of Quiberon to Carnac, via the surprising Étel ria.

Overall, wild camping in a campervan is more or less tolerated in Brittany in the off-season, provided you stay outside protected natural sites. To avoid nasty surprises or disturbing nature, opt for the spots suggested and rated by the community on the free Park4Night app.

The choice of your campervan or large campervan hire in Brittany depends on your itinerary.

For example, for the small, often narrow coastal roads of the Trégor or the Crozon peninsula, opt for hiring a compact campervan, such as the Renault Hanroad Trek with 5 seats or the modern Volkswagen New California with its automatic gearbox.

If you like to travel in comfort, opt for hiring a large campervan with a shower and toilet. Take your pick:

- hiring a Big Van 2-person large campervan, the best compromise for couples;
- hiring a Big Van Up large campervan, 4 berths with a pop-top roof, for families;
- hiring a Volkswagen Grand California large campervan, available in a 6-metre or 6.8-metre version, the height of road comfort.

Please note, some seaside or city spots may ban access to the largest sizes. Conversely, in terms of self-sufficiency, nothing beats a large campervan… If you need help knowing which campervan to hire in Brittany, give us a call!

When you hire a campervan in Rennes with WeVan, you can increase your level of protection with:

- Medium insurance, which lowers the excess to €800* and includes international assistance;
- Premium insurance, which combines the benefits of Medium insurance and additionally offers windscreen and tyre protection, often reassuring for driving with peace of mind on the wild coastal paths, as well as lowering the excess to €300*.

*These amounts may vary from one year to the next. However, they will always be clearly stated when you book your campervan in Rennes, as well as being written in black and white on your hire contract.

The WeVan Rennes campervan hire agency offers self-service returns, automatically applied for a booking including a return outside opening hours. Charged at €25 (price subject to change), this option triggers a condition report carried out by our team when the agency reopens. If the condition report is fine, we'll notify you that the card pre-authorisation has been removed.

However, it isn't possible to collect your campervan without being accompanied by our team members. Their presence is essential to check your identity, show you around the campervan and explain how it works, and carry out the card pre-authorisation corresponding to the excess amount selected. Good advice makes good road trips.

To find service areas near you, the easiest way is to locate them using the free Park4Night app. In Brittany, service areas for motorhomes and campervans are plentiful and often free. They generally consist of a tap to plug into your fresh water tank thanks to a hose provided when you collect your campervan in Rennes. What's more, on the day of departure, your campervan hire has its fresh water tank filled and its waste water tank emptied.
