Why choose Florence for your road trip
Florence — a city worth exploring
Florence's Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore features the largest masonry dome ever constructed, spanning 45 metres and completed by Filippo Brunelleschi in 1436. The city sits in the Arno valley, surrounded by the rolling hills of Tuscany, and rewards visitors with world-class art, architecture and food at every turn. Wander through the Galleria degli Uffizi to see Botticelli's Birth of Venus, cross the medieval Ponte Vecchio lined with jewellers' shops, and climb the 414 steps of the Campanile di Giotto for sweeping views across terracotta rooftops. The Basilica di San Lorenzo, designed by Brunelleschi, and the Palazzo Pitti with its Boboli Gardens offer quieter moments away from the busiest piazzas. Siena lies just 75 km to the south, while the Chianti wine region begins barely 30 km from the city centre, making Florence an ideal base for day trips by road. The surrounding Tuscan countryside is well suited to larger vehicles, with wide regional roads and plenty of dedicated campervan service areas along the way. If you are planning a motorhome adventure through central Italy, Florence is a natural starting point. Through Yescapa you can hire a campervan directly from a local owner, which often means personal tips on the best routes, parking spots and lesser-known villages nearby. It is a practical, peer-to-peer way to begin your Tuscan road trip.
Best time to visit
Florence is wonderful from April to June and again in September and October, when warm days make open-air exploring a pleasure. The Festa di San Giovanni on 24 June fills the city with fireworks and the historic Calcio Storico tournament in Piazza Santa Croce. In autumn the Biennale Internazionale dell'Antiquariato draws collectors every odd-numbered year. Booking a campervan through Yescapa outside peak summer months can save you money, as peer-to-peer hire prices tend to be lower in spring and early autumn. Campsites around Florence are generally quieter midweek, so plan accordingly for the best pitches.

Where to park your motorhome
Florence operates a ZTL (zona a traffico limitato) in the historic centre, which restricts most vehicles during set hours. Larger campervans and motorhomes should use park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts, where you can catch a tram or bus into the city. Overnight parking in public car parks is generally permitted unless signs state otherwise, but always check height barriers before entering. Dedicated motorhome service points are available at several peripheral car parks.
- Villa Costanza Car Park, 7km southwest — Large park-and-ride next to the T1 tramway terminus in Scandicci. No height restrictions, making it ideal for motorhomes. Tram reaches the centre in around 20 minutes.
- Piazzale Michelangelo Car Park, 2km southeast — Hilltop car park with views over Florence. Spaces for larger vehicles are limited, so arrive early. A short walk downhill leads to the Oltrarno quarter.
- Parterre Car Park, 1km north — Underground car park near Piazza della Libertà with a 2.1 m height limit, suitable for smaller campervans only. Well connected by bus to the Duomo area.
Frequently asked questions
Prices on Yescapa for a campervan or motorhome near Florence typically start from around £70 to £110 per night, depending on the season and vehicle size. Because you hire directly from a private owner through our peer-to-peer platform, rates are often more competitive than traditional hire companies. Larger motorhomes with more berths tend to sit at the higher end, while compact campervans offer a budget-friendly option.
On Yescapa, local owners list their vehicles across the Florence area, so you can often arrange collection in neighbourhoods such as Scandicci, Sesto Fiorentino or Bagno a Ripoli. Some owners offer pick-up near Florence's main railway station, Santa Maria Novella, which is handy if you are arriving by train. Check each listing for the exact meeting point and agree details with the owner before your trip.
Travelling in spring or autumn rather than peak summer is one of the easiest ways to find lower prices. On Yescapa, you can filter by date and vehicle type to compare peer-to-peer rates from local owners around Florence. Booking well in advance also helps secure the best deals. Smaller campervans with two berths are usually the most affordable option, and weekday departures can bring further savings.
For couples or solo travellers exploring Florence and Tuscany, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to park and manoeuvre on narrower hill roads. Families of four or five are well served by a motorhome with a fixed rear bed and overcab sleeping area. On Yescapa, each listing shows the number of berths, vehicle dimensions and driving licence requirements, so you can match the right vehicle to your group size before you book.
Yes, many owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their vehicles. You can use the pet-friendly filter when searching near Florence to see which campervans and motorhomes accept dogs. It is worth checking each listing for any specific conditions, such as a deposit or size limit. Several campsites around Florence, including Camping Michelangelo, also allow dogs, so you and your four-legged companion can enjoy Tuscany together.
What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Florence
James
5 / 5
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!

We thought our holiday was over before it had even started when our own motorhome broke down… then we found Yescapa. The booking process was easy to follow, and we were so grateful that the owners of the motorhome we hired were incredibly lovely and understanding of our situation. The hired motorhome was ideal for us, and we were able to finish our holiday and had an amazing time. Special thanks to the owners ❤️ Nous pensions que nos vacances étaient terminées avant même d’avoir commencé lorsque notre propre camping‑car est tombé en panne… puis nous avons découvert Yescapa. Le processus de réservation était simple à suivre, et nous sommes très reconnaissants que les propriétaires du camping‑car que nous avons loué aient été si adorables et compréhensifs face à notre situation. Le camping‑car loué était parfait pour nous, et nous avons pu poursuivre nos vacances et passer un séjour magnifique. Un grand merci aux propriétaires ❤️
