Why choose Croydon for your road trip
Croydon — a city worth exploring
Croydon's Tramlink network, opened in 2000, was the first new tram system built in the UK for over a century, connecting this south London borough to Wimbledon and Beckenham. The town centre is home to Croydon Clocktower, a cultural complex housing the Museum of Croydon and the David Lean Cinema, named after the Oscar-winning director born here. Wandering through Croydon Minster, a Grade I listed medieval church dating back to the Saxon era, gives you a real sense of the area's deep history. For green space, Addington Hills offers panoramic views across London, while Lloyd Park provides a peaceful retreat alongside the Shirley Windmill, one of few surviving windmills in the capital. Brighton sits just 68 km to the south, making it an easy day trip, and the rolling countryside of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty begins roughly 20 km to the south-west. Croydon's position on the southern edge of London means you can explore both the capital and the countryside without battling congested central streets — ideal if you are travelling in a larger vehicle. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across the Croydon area, giving you a flexible and personal way to start your adventure. Whether you are heading to the coast or deeper into the English countryside, picking up from a local owner here puts you within easy reach of the M25 and M23 motorways.
Best time to visit
Croydon comes alive in summer, when the Croydon Food Festival fills the streets each July with local producers and live music. September brings the Croydon Heritage Festival, offering guided walks and open-door events at historic buildings you would not normally see inside. If you are planning to hire a campervan, late spring through early autumn gives you the longest daylight hours for driving and the best conditions for overnight stays at nearby campsites in Surrey and Sussex. Booking through Yescapa outside peak school holiday weeks can help you find better rates from local owners, so consider June or September for a quieter, more affordable trip from Croydon.

Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire near Croydon typically starts from around £60 to £90 per night, depending on the vehicle size and season. Larger motorhomes with more berths may range from £100 to £150 per night. Through Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners, which often means more competitive pricing than traditional rental depots. Booking outside school holidays can bring costs down further, so it is worth checking availability for midweek or shoulder-season dates.
With Yescapa, you can pick up a motorhome directly from private owners based across the Croydon area, including neighbourhoods like Purley, Shirley, and Addiscombe. Some owners are also based in nearby towns such as Bromley and Sutton, just a short drive away. Because Yescapa connects you with local people, collection points are spread across south London and north Surrey, giving you plenty of choice for a convenient starting location.

Yescapa lets you compare prices from multiple local owners, so you can filter by budget and vehicle type. Smaller campervans with two berths are usually the most economical option. Longer hire periods often come with a lower daily rate, so extending your trip by a day or two can actually save you money overall.

Families of four or five are well suited to a mid-size motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion. Groups of six may prefer a larger motorhome with an overcab bed. On Yescapa, each listing includes berth details and interior photos, so you can match the vehicle to your group before booking.
Yes, many owners on Yescapa near Croydon welcome dogs in their vehicles — you can filter specifically for pet-friendly listings when searching. South London and Surrey offer plenty of green spaces for walks, including Farthing Downs and Happy Valley just south of the borough.

Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!

Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!

Sergey's van is great. Really spacious, easy to drive. We had a great trip. Sergey was really nice helpful and was on hand to help with any questions during the trip. He even gave us a lift to the train station in Ljubljana! Would 100% recommend.
