Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Emilia-Romagna
Emilia-Romagna — a region worth exploring
Emilia-Romagna stretches across northern Italy for roughly 350 km, from the western edge of Piacenza to the Adriatic coast at Rimini, linked by one of Europe's oldest roads — the Via Emilia, built by the Romans in 187 BC. The region packs an extraordinary range of landscapes into that span: the rolling foothills of the Apennines to the south, the flat, fertile Po Plain to the north, and a long ribbon of sandy coastline to the east. Bologna, the regional capital, sits almost exactly 150 km from both Parma and Rimini, making it a natural hub for road trips in every direction. Food lovers can trace the origins of Parmigiano-Reggiano in the dairies around Parma, sample traditional balsamic vinegar in Modena, and eat fresh piadina along the Romagna coast. Beyond the table, Emilia-Romagna is home to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna's Basilica di San Vitale, and the medieval towers of Bologna's historic centre. The Po Delta Regional Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve near Comacchio, offers flat cycling paths and birdwatching that suit a slower pace of travel. Roads here are generally well-maintained and easy to navigate in larger vehicles, with plenty of service areas along the A1 and A14 motorways. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners based across the region — from the cities of the Via Emilia to the coastal towns of Romagna — giving you the flexibility to start your trip wherever suits you best.
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn is ideal for exploring Emilia-Romagna by campervan. May and June bring warm, dry weather perfect for driving the Apennine foothills, while the Adriatic coast comes alive from June to September. If you visit in October, you can catch the Fiera Internazionale del Tartufo Bianco in Sant'Agata Feltria, one of Italy's finest white truffle fairs. September also hosts the Festa di San Giovanni in Cesena, with local food and traditions. Campsites along the Romagna Riviera are open from April to October, with the widest choice in summer. Booking through Yescapa outside peak July and August often means better availability and more competitive hire prices from local owners.

Emilia-Romagna offers a wide choice of campsites, from large seaside parks along the Adriatic coast to quieter rural spots in the Apennine foothills. Coastal sites typically provide full hook-ups, modern shower blocks, and direct beach access for both campervans and motorhomes.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Emilia-Romagna
Emilia-Romagna's main motorways — the A1 (Milan to Bologna) and A14 (Bologna to Rimini) — are toll roads. You collect a ticket on entry and pay at exit, with cash, card, or Telepass accepted. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are classed differently and pay higher tolls, so check your vehicle's weight before setting off. Speed limits for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes are 130 km/h on motorways and 110 km/h on dual carriageways; heavier vehicles are limited to 100 km/h and 80 km/h respectively. Rest areas with fuel, food, and parking for larger vehicles appear regularly along both routes. Secondary roads through the Apennines are well-surfaced but winding, so allow extra time if you are travelling in a bigger motorhome.
Frequently asked questions
Prices on Yescapa for a campervan in Emilia-Romagna typically start from around £70 per night for a compact van and can reach £130 or more for a larger, fully equipped motorhome. Because you hire directly from local owners through our peer-to-peer platform, rates are often more competitive than traditional hire companies. Prices vary by season, vehicle type, and how far in advance you book.
On Yescapa, local owners list their vehicles across Emilia-Romagna, so you can arrange collection in cities such as Bologna, Rimini, or Modena. Some owners also offer pick-up near smaller towns like Ravenna or Parma, which is handy if you want to start your trip closer to the coast or the Apennines. Simply enter your preferred location on the platform to see what is available nearby.
Travelling outside peak summer months — for example in May, June, or September — often brings lower nightly rates. On Yescapa, you can filter by price and compare offers from private owners across Emilia-Romagna, which helps you find a vehicle that fits your budget. Booking well ahead and being flexible on pick-up location can also make a real difference to the overall cost of your trip.
For a couple or solo traveller exploring the Apennine hills, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to park and manoeuvre on narrower mountain roads. Families of four or five are usually more comfortable in a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette. On Yescapa, each listing shows the number of berths, sleeping layout, and vehicle dimensions, so you can match the right size to your group and your planned route through Emilia-Romagna.
Yes — many owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their vehicles. You can use the pet-friendly filter when searching to see which campervans and motorhomes in Emilia-Romagna accept dogs. It is worth checking each listing for any specific conditions, such as size limits or cleaning fees. The region is great for dogs, with long sandy beaches near Cervia and woodland trails in the Apennine foothills to enjoy together.

We had a great time in the motorhome. Jean Pierre was very friendly and professional. We were shown how everything works before setting off. We would definitely recommend hiring this vehicle. Jean Pierre only speaks French but with the aid of a translator app and his son it worked out absolutely fine. Thanks again Jean-Pierre.
