Our Active pop-top model, for example, has seating and sleeping space for 4 people

It's everything you need without the bulk of a full-size kitchen.
On-board Bathroom
Most modern Class B hires include an integrated wet bath with:
What's a wet bath? The shower sprays over the toilet area—common in boats and compact campervans. It saves space while keeping you self-sufficient and free from relying on campsite facilities.
Note: Some smaller campervans may not have an on-board bathroom. Check your specific vehicle listing if this is a must-have.
Climate Control
Living Space
Outdoor Living
Many Class B campervans include:
Technology & Connectivity
It's hard to appreciate how efficiently Class B campervans use space until you see one in person. Everything has a place. The driver and passenger seats swivel to create a living area. The bed folds away or slides out to reveal storage underneath. It's cosy, functional, and surprisingly spacious once you've settled in. Want to see exactly what you're hiring?

Class B campervans shine on routes where bigger campervans struggle. Here are some of our favourite journeys perfect for a nimble, easy-to-park campervan:
California Wine Country Loop (USA):
Duration: 4-7 days | Distance: ~300 miles
Start in San Francisco and explore the Napa, Sonoma and Russian River valleys. A Class B fits perfectly in small-town car parks, narrow vineyard lanes and boutique winery car parks where bigger campervans can’t go. Stay at campsites tucked into redwood forests between tasting rooms.
Pacific Northwest Coastal Drive (USA):
Duration: 7-10 days | Distance: ~600 miles
Drive from Seattle through Olympic National Park, down the Oregon coast to Cannon Beach and Crater Lake. Class B campervans handle the winding coastal Highway 101 beautifully and fit into state park campsites with tighter pitches.
Utah Mighty Five National Parks (USA):
Duration: 7-10 days | Distance: ~800 miles
Visit all five Utah national parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. Class B campervans excel here—many parks have campsites with size restrictions that rule out Class A rigs. Plus, you’ll navigate Zion’s switchbacks and Moab’s narrow roads with ease.
Vancouver Island Explorer (Canada):
Duration: 5-7 days | Distance: ~400 miles
Take the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria and explore Vancouver Island’s dramatic coastline, rainforests and coastal towns. A Class B is perfect for ferry crossings, getting around island roads and parking in Tofino or Ucluelet.
Portugal’s Atlantic Coast (Europe):
Duration: 7-14 days | Distance: ~650 miles
Start in Lisbon and drive south through the Algarve, then north to Porto along coastal roads. Class B campervans fit perfectly in Portugal’s historic town centres and beachside car parks. Stop for fresh seafood, surf and sunsets.
Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye (Europe):
Duration: 7-10 days | Distance: ~500 miles
Drive from Edinburgh through the Scottish Highlands to the Isle of Skye. Single-track roads with passing places are common here—a Class B handles them perfectly while larger campervans struggle. Camp beside lochs with mountain views.

Why choose a Class B campervan over a bigger motorhome or a tent? Here’s what makes travellers fall in love with van life:
Drives Like a Regular Vehicle
If you can drive a large SUV or pickup truck, you can handle a Class B. Manoeuvring, parking and navigating tight spaces is easy. No special skills or training required — just confidence and common sense.
Best Fuel Economy of Any campervan Type
Smaller engines, lighter weight and better aerodynamics mean Class B campervans return around 10.7–15.7 L/100 km (roughly 15–22 mpg) — significantly better than Class A (about 16.8–29.4 L/100 km, roughly 8–14 mpg) or Class C (about 14.7–23.5 L/100 km, roughly 10–16 mpg) motorhomes. You’ll spend less at petrol stations and more on experiences.
Access Anywhere
Class B campervans fit where bigger motorhomes can’t:
More access = more adventure.
Stealth Camping & Urban Flexibility
A Class B blends in. From the outside, it looks like a work van or passenger vehicle. This means you can:
Perfect for Spontaneous Travel
No reservations? No problem. With a Class B, you can:
Your home travels with you, always accessible.
Lower Intimidation Factor
First time renting a campervan? A Class B is the perfect starting point. Easy to drive, simple to set up, and no towing required. Most renters feel comfortable within the first 30 minutes behind the wheel.
No Towing, No Setup

Just park, crack open the side door, and you’re home.

Good news — no special driving licence required in most places. In the United States, Canada and most of Europe, a standard driving licence is enough to hire and drive a Class B campervan. These vehicles typically stay under the weight limit that would require a commercial driving licence.
That said, regulations vary by country and sometimes by state or province, so it's a good idea to double-check the rules for your specific collection point, especially if you're travelling abroad.
