Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Central Switzerland
Central Switzerland — a region worth exploring
Central Switzerland stretches across 4,485 square kilometres around Lake Lucerne, where six cantons — Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Zug — converge at the geographic heart of the country. The Rütli Meadow on the western shore of Lake Uri is recognised as the birthplace of the Swiss Confederation, founded in 1291. From the medieval Chapel Bridge in Lucerne to the revolving cable car up Mount Titlis near Engelberg, the region packs remarkable variety into a compact area. The drive from Lucerne to Andermatt covers roughly 65 km through the Reuss Valley, while the route from Brunnen to the Gotthard Pass spans about 50 km of winding alpine road. Towering peaks such as Pilatus (2,128 m) and Stanserhorn frame the lakeshores, and narrow mountain passes like the Susten and Klausen demand careful navigation — making a well-sized campervan ideal for exploring at your own pace. Valley floors and lakeside plateaux offer generous space for overnight stops, while higher routes reward you with panoramic views at every turn. Whether you fancy a cruise on Lake Lucerne, a ride on the steepest cogwheel railway in the world up Pilatus, or a hike through the Muotathal karst landscape, Central Switzerland keeps you moving. With Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome or campervan directly from local owners across the region, giving you the flexibility to start your trip from Lucerne, Zug or smaller towns and tailor your route to suit your schedule.
Best time to visit
Central Switzerland is at its most inviting from May to October, when alpine passes are open and lakeside campsites welcome campervans and motorhomes alike. The Lucerne Festival, running from mid-August into September, draws music lovers from around the world and makes a brilliant cultural stop on any road trip. Autumn brings golden larch forests and quieter roads, ideal for unhurried touring. Winter travel is possible in lower valleys, though high passes close seasonally. Booking through Yescapa during spring or autumn often means better availability and more competitive peer-to-peer pricing across Central Switzerland.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Central Switzerland
Switzerland requires a motorway vignette (currently CHF 40 per year) for all vehicles using national motorways, including motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes. Heavier vehicles pay a distance-based heavy vehicle charge instead. Speed limits on motorways are 120 km/h for cars, but motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are restricted to 100 km/h. In Central Switzerland, the A2 and A4 motorways connect Lucerne, Zug and the Gotthard corridor, while many scenic routes follow single-carriageway cantonal roads with lower limits of 80 km/h. Mountain passes such as the Susten and Klausen may have height or width restrictions, so check signage before setting off.
Frequently asked questions
Prices on Yescapa typically range from around £80 to £180 per night, depending on vehicle size, season and equipment. Because you hire directly from private owners across Central Switzerland, peer-to-peer pricing often works out more affordable than traditional hire companies. Compact campervans tend to sit at the lower end, while larger motorhomes with full kitchens and bathrooms cost a bit more.
On Yescapa, local owners list their vehicles across Central Switzerland, so you can arrange collection in Lucerne, Zug or smaller towns such as Schwyz and Sarnen. This peer-to-peer model means pick-up points are spread throughout the region rather than limited to a single depot, making it easy to start your trip close to the route you have planned.
Travelling in late spring or early autumn often brings lower nightly rates across Central Switzerland. On Yescapa, you can filter by price, compare different owners and message them directly to discuss your needs. Booking well ahead for peak summer weeks also helps you lock in a fair rate, and choosing a smaller campervan rather than a large motorhome can reduce costs further.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths is perfect for navigating narrow alpine passes like the Susten or Klausen. Families of four or five are well served by a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion. On Yescapa, each listing shows berth count, dimensions and interior photos, so you can match the vehicle to your group size and Central Switzerland itinerary.
Yes — many owners on Yescapa welcome pets aboard their vehicles. You can use the pet-friendly filter when searching to see campervans and motorhomes in Central Switzerland that accept dogs. The region's lakeside walks and alpine trails are ideal for four-legged companions, and most campsites around Lake Lucerne and Engelberg allow dogs on leads in designated areas.

This was an excellent campervan for our party of 4 adults (and can easily sleep 6). Everything we used in the van was great and worked well. The large fridge/freezer and awning was helpful. Toilet and shower worked well. João was great throughout the whole process. He was really quick and helpful in all his communications before the trip, and during check-in he was really thorough with explaining all of the van's systems (even though we didn't speak Portuguese). We had a minor accident, and João was very reasonable and fair about the repairs. All together a very good experience, thank you!
