What is the speed limit for motorhomes?

In the UK, the speed limits for motorhomes are not the same as cars. 70 mph is the maximum speed limit on motorways but on dual carriageways, the maximum speed is restricted to 60 mph and to 50 mph on single carriageways, unless there are signs which display lower or specific speed restrictions.

Do I need a special driving license?

No. All of our vehicles are under 3500 kgs, so will only require a standard Category B license to drive. European licenses specify various maximum limits. Please check that you have a suitable license before booking, as the hire will be refused and cancelled without a refund should this not be the case. Overseas licenses: even if you have a C category license in your own country, by UK law you are only permitted to drive a vehicle up to 3500 kgs on the UK roads. For insurance purposes , the driver must be between 25 and 75 years old and have held a full license for at least two years. It is advisable to have your driving license with you at all times when driving a hire vehicle.
