Dover Campervan Rental: The White Cliffs, Kent and the Channel

Quick summary: Dover campervan rental puts you at England’s gateway to the continent, beside the White Cliffs and Dover Castle. Campervans and motorhomes can be collected in Dover itself, or in London and at Gatwick for travelers arriving by air. From Dover, Kent’s castles, cathedral city and villages are all close by, and ferries cross the Channel to France. Taking a rental vehicle abroad needs your supplier’s permission, so check before you plan a crossing.

Is an RV the best way to explore Dover and Kent?

For the coast and countryside, yes. Kent’s villages and castles are spread out, and campgrounds make easy bases. For Canterbury’s narrow center, park outside and walk in.

Can you start in London instead?

Yes. Collect in London or at Gatwick, then drive to the coast. For tips on getting out of the capital, see this guide to leaving London by campervan.
