Why choose Gothenburg for your road trip
Gothenburg — a city worth exploring
Gothenburg's iconic Götaplatsen square, crowned by Carl Milles' Poseidon statue since 1931, sets the tone for Sweden's second-largest city. Straddling the Göta älv river where it meets the Kattegat strait, Gothenburg blends maritime heritage with a forward-thinking food scene — the city holds more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than Stockholm. Wander the cobbled lanes of Haga, the 19th-century neighbourhood famous for its oversized cinnamon buns, then head to the Universeum science centre for hands-on exhibits spanning rainforest ecosystems to outer space. Art lovers can spend a full morning at the Gothenburg Museum of Art, home to works by Rembrandt, Monet and the Nordic masters. For families, Liseberg amusement park delivers thrills from April to December, while the Gothenburg Archipelago — reachable by ferry from Saltholmen — offers car-free islands ideal for cycling and wild swimming. Malmö sits roughly 270 km to the south, and Oslo is about 290 km to the north, making Gothenburg a natural base for longer Scandinavian tours. The city's broad avenues and well-signed ring roads suit larger vehicles, and several dedicated motorhome service points dot the outskirts. With Yescapa, you hire a campervan directly from a local owner, which means insider tips on the best coastal routes and archipelago ferry schedules often come included. It is a relaxed, practical way to begin exploring western Sweden at your own pace.
Best time to visit
Gothenburg comes alive from May to September, when long daylight hours let you make the most of the archipelago and coastal drives. The Gothenburg Film Festival in late January draws culture fans to the city in winter, while Way Out West, a major music festival in Slottsskogen park each August, fills campsites across the region. Book your campervan through Yescapa well ahead for July and August — peer-to-peer hire often gives you more flexible pick-up times and competitive rates compared with peak-season fleet pricing. Spring and autumn bring quieter roads and mild conditions, perfect for a motorhome trip along the Bohuslän coast.

Where to park your motorhome
Gothenburg has several parking areas that accommodate larger vehicles, though overnight stays in a motorhome or campervan on public streets are generally permitted for one night unless local signs state otherwise. Always check height barriers and time-limited zones before parking. Dedicated ställplatser (motorhome stopovers) near the coast offer services such as fresh water and waste disposal for a small fee.

Frequently asked questions
Prices on Yescapa for a campervan in the Gothenburg area typically start from around £80 per night for a compact two-berth and rise to about £150 or more for a larger motorhome with a full kitchen and bathroom. Because you hire directly from local owners, rates are often more competitive than traditional fleet agencies, and you can compare different vehicles side by side to find one that fits your budget.
On Yescapa, owners across the Gothenburg region list their vehicles, so pick-up points vary from central neighbourhoods like Majorna and Linnéstaden to suburban areas such as Mölndal and Partille. You arrange the handover directly with the owner, which means you can often agree on a location that suits your travel plans — handy if you are arriving by train at Gothenburg Central Station.
Flexibility is your best friend. Travelling in May, June or September rather than peak July and August usually brings lower nightly rates on Yescapa. Use the platform's filters to compare campervans and motorhomes by price, and look for owners offering weekly discounts. Booking well in advance also helps you lock in a good deal, especially for popular Gothenburg departures along the Bohuslän coast.
For a couple or solo traveller, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to park and manoeuvre on Gothenburg's narrower island roads. Families of four or five are usually more comfortable in a motorhome with a fixed rear bed and dinette conversion. On Yescapa, each listing shows the exact layout, berth count and vehicle dimensions, so you can match the right size to your group before you book.
Yes — a number of Yescapa owners in the Gothenburg area welcome pets on board. Filter your search for pet-friendly vehicles and check each listing for any specific conditions, such as a cleaning fee. Sweden's generous right of public access means your dog can enjoy beaches and forests freely, though leads are required in nature reserves and near livestock from March to August.

Everything went smooth during the whole pick up and return process. The van has seen some life but everything was clean and in great working condition + the price was very competitive when comparing to anything else available at the time. Very enjoyable trip with the van, highly recommended

First class change over everything was explained in detail, beautifully clean just how it should be! The vehicle is a 2026 model so one of the newest I've seen available to hire! Yes I would hire again and highly recommend

La mejor elección en Bretaña. Furgoneta impecable, nueva, muy cómoda, muy bien pensada y con todos los accesorios que puedes necesitar, fantástica. Nosotros viajamos desde España y solicitamos nos recogiesen en el aeropuerto. Sophie y Dominique han sido extremadamente amables, la comunicación muy fluida. Sin duda la recomiendo a todos los que piensen en viajar por Bretaña y, si vuelvo, repetiré. Gracias a Sophie y Dominique por vuestra amabilidad!

I had the most wonderful trip in Eve’s van. It has everything you need, a great sized fridge, a large comfy bed, cooking equipment, electrics to be off grid, a great shower & toilet. The van ran very smoothly and was a perfect size even driving through the towns was no problem at all. They were very accommodating, helping me with local tip and recommendations. I’d 100% recommend this van to anyone thinking of taking a road trip, you won’t regret it :)

Inigio and his lovely girlfriend looked after Dolly for one week here in the Algarve area. They brought her back clean and in really good shape. Before and during the rental period we had a very good dialogue. I can highly reccomend them to lend your car. :-)

Our trip was fantastic, couldn't recommend travelling Sicily via Camper further. Angela and Luca made that super easy with clear comms and help pre booking, during holiday and after. pick up and drop off was a breeze. Clear instructions on how to use the van. All in all great trip.
